Don't do it because it won't get updates, will not have a warranty and also apps like Samsung Pay will not work properly.

If you need a phone to use in France get a cheap one for the time being and a decent one when you return home eventually

Importing a phone can have it's pros and cons @dpot 

It can be cheaper to purchase but there are caveats to bear in mind.

Samsung UK wouldn't provide support as the 2 year limited warranty wouldn't apply.

Samsung Pay may or may not work.

Your Samsung Members App benefits section may not work properly.

Mine was blank.

5G may not work.

I imported a Samsung Note²⁰ Ultra from Samsung Hong Kong into the UK and received software and security updates just fine.

thanks i just do not understand how a samsung phone would be different if i was to sine up with a mobile network contract then yes.

but a unlock phone seems besar it is not that i wont it cheaper it is because i am in france and need it to work in england when i finished work over her and trying to perchs a phone from france and get it ship to france is a nightmare they will only ship to england any way i am coming home at the week end and going to phone warehouse and getting one then coming back to france it is cheaper than shipping one sad is un it
