You should be able to purchase it and use it in another country. However, the Canadian variant is a special variant based on the T-Mobile version. The Canadian version may not support all LTE bands with your carrier so you may want to research that. Also, I'm assuming there is the Regional SIM-Lock built in for first activation. After that you'd have to get an unlock code from any online vendor (around $15) and enter it.
Canadian Model : SM-G925W8
T-Mobile: SM-G925T
If you're from EU, you're probably better off buying the 925F factory unlocked from there itself if it supports the bands. The kernels for 925F and 925T/W8 are not interchangeable so you'd be waiting for TMO/W8 development if you're into flashing custom roms/kernels.

At a store in Canada, most likely not. You'd have to look at online stores (Amazon, E-bay, Expansys). NCIX Canada is selling unlocked S6(E) but it doesn't state what model it is, and it is marked up severely. Considering you're already in EU, it's probably easier for you to import one from a neighbouring country that is selling them or buy one at a store nearby.

W8 version supports all worldwide LTE bands except for a few bands in some asian markets. I took my Rogers W8 Edge to Morocco, spain, portugal, poland and germany just a few weeks ago and had LTE in all those countries

and if i will buy the canadian version. do you know if i will can transfer it to hebrew? with morelocal?
Hi,
I am looking to get this as my new phone but I realized this phone has about 3 different model numbers.
I read that the EU version TL01H has removed call recording unlike the Chinese version UL00. What else makes them different? I also see another version AL10 which is 64GB, but which ROM is this based on?
Just a little confused which is the best model to get. The EU version is pretty cheap online while the Chinese costs more but wouldn't want to lose any features.
I plan to use the phone in Jamaica and the US on AT&T when I travel.
Why does samsung have so many models for a specific series for eg Galaxy S9 has so many model numbers
I would like to know why cant samsung manufacture one variant which works for all region, instead of manufacturing specific models catering to each region. This is a big deal for people like me and it prevents me from buying Samsung phones even though I like them.
Why can they make it like iphone. One single iphone works all over the world and they dont have models for each regions.
TBH you would have to ask Samsung for the reason why they have so many models.
Different model numbers do not equal a bad thing. Keep in mind a model number is a way for differentiating between color choices, dual sim (or single sim), carrier, region, chipsets (qualcomm, intel, exynos, etc), storage, etc. Just because there are different models, it shouldn't be a reason why it would prevent you from purchasing a samsung phone.. Which makes me curious on your reasoning behind why it would.
And Iphone's don't come in a "one model for all" size. They still have different models.. Here are a few I could think of below:
Iphone 7 model numbers:
A1660
A1661
A1778
A1784
A1779
A1785
Iphone 8 model numbers:
A1863
A1905
A1906
Iphone 8+ model numbers:
A1864
A1897
A1898
Iphone X model numbers:
A1865
A1901
A1902
Having different models is not preventing me from purchasing Samsung. I am currently in US and wanted to buy the US Unlocked S10 but what is preventing me that there is no one model that works across the globe. I frequently visit India and If I buy the US unlocked S10 it will not work in India on JIO VOLTE network. But if I buy iphone in US it will work any where in the world including JIO india on VOLTE.
Samsung phones in US having this limitation is preventing me from buying samsung.

Hi, I thought there was a global model that had the necessary US LTE Bands as well as the other bands needed for travel? Doesn’t the Exynos model cover enough bands for global coverage? You may have to buy it online from an overseas vendor?

I've been wanting to get this phone for a while and in AliExpress I keep seeing two variants, Indian and EU variant. What is the difference between these two?
Bump
Probably the MIUI version. The EU variant contains Global ROM when sold. I don't know which MIUI version is on the Indian but might be version of Chinese MIUI.

more importantly could be difference of lte bands as well
(I found this when I bought it in AliExpress) the Indian version its assembled on India and doesn't have an FCC approved sticker on the box, it also may have different internal components that are locally available on India. The EU/international version is approved by the FCC and its assembled in China with (probably) higher quality components or at the very least directly overseen by Xiaomi.
Heres the thing I cant seem to find 128GB EU version stock of this phone anywhere. Its out of stock or too expensive wherever I search. Anyone who has recently bought the Indian version can tell me if they are facing any issues?
Hi guys, i am from Mexico and im gonna buy a lg v60 from Aliexpress, but there are a lot of versions of the same device: Tmobile, Verizon, ATT even japanese version. All of the phones are unlocked but i want to buy a the cleanest version of the phone and root it, if possible. Any suggestion or any model is okay?
Tmobile or ATT, do not buy JP variant, verison with some hardvare problems
