Connectivity of Indian Samsung phones in USA

[visitharsh]

I am planning to relocate for brief period in USA. I intend to buy Samsung Galaxy M51. Will the handset purchased in India work in USA? If it doesn't then I will buy it in USA itself.

Please respond whoever has any answer.

Thanks

dude it will be better if you buy it from USA

Better to buy there only.
Please note that M series is focused on budget market and it is not global.
Samsung seems to cutting many network bands support and put inferior RF systems in M series compared to A series.

You will get great deals on A series or even flagships there.
USA is very different in terms of how dominant Network operators are over there, many times data speeds are lower on unlocked phones, features don't work.

Only issue of buying in USA will be , in many cases you don't get Dual SIM models.
Also check if Samsung Pay will work if you buy in USA and then bring that device to India.

Thats why take your time then decide.
I will advice you NOT to buy in India.
All depends on how "brief" is your stay there.

Thanks TimonN. My doubts are cleared.

There will great deals in USA starting now till year end. You can get good flagship for cheap.
Only be aware to check that phone is unlocked and preferably supports dual SIM.

If I purchase this phone 'Samsung Galaxy A21s ' in India it will work in USA over US network bands?. Please suggest 

[TimonN]

Please do not purchase A21s , it is totally junk phone at that price.
Also as I had said earlier, better to purchase phone in USA and use it.
You will get good discounts in last year flagships from Samsung there. Also you will get Snapdragon variant flagships.
Only thing which you will probably not get in USA phones is dual sim support.
So depending on your preference decide.

Hey I have samsung A31 does it work in US this 2020 A31 varient

[TimonN]

Yes, it will work as it has many 4G bands which US operators have but you may not get best data speeds as some bands will be missing and 5G is more common there

If I purchase this phone 'Samsung Galaxy A21s ' in India it will work in USA over US network bands?. Please suggest
