Compatibility of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Variant in the UK

[Urvi21]

I plan to buy the Galaxy S22  (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Processor) in India. However, I will have to factor in the compatibility of this variant in the UK, especially since the UK has the Exynos variant. Are there any issues or problems I might face due to this? For instance, regarding the servicing, 5G connectivity, region-specific updates etc

Appreciate clarity in this regard.

Yes they are

@AndrewL Any important apps I should be aware of?

@Urvi21: It is likely that apps such as Samsung Pay won't be compatible with your device, as the registered banks on the app are for the UK only. It's difficult for me to advise on non UK/EU models, but I just wanted to make you aware of the potential compatibility issues you might face, to help you make an informed decision.

@AndrewL Thank you! I'm hoping that if needed, I will still be able to get my phone serviced in the UK stores. I wouldn't want a situation wherein they ask me to get it serviced only from the country of purchase.

Oops your right, as I have missing features on my GW5 as its a US version, that's not been approved
