Hello i am planning to purchase S23 ultra from Dubai and use it in India. I saw many videos on youtube but all of them have contrary opinions so my doubts are not cleared. I have few doubts about it kindly share ur expertise on it thanks 😊 🙏 

1} Shall i buy UAE version or international 🤔 
What is the difference between both?

2} Some people r saying we need to use dubai sim card for 15 20 mins and than only we can use indian sim in the device or else it wont work! How true is this and is this for UAE variant or international variant or both?

3} One video stated something about VAT form filling while purchasing from local store which i did not understand what is it please someone explain what is this form n its purpose?

4} Shall i purchase the phone from amazon and noon website or offline store? If offline store than wich store and what difference is there while purchasing online and offline?

5} I checked the price on noon and after price conversion it is around 60k Indian rupees, i wanted to know if additional cost will be occurred like customs duty tax or anything else or it will cost just 60k INR ?

6} Will samsung pay and airtel 5G work in India?

7} Is snapdragon variant bettor or exynos? What are the pros and cons?

8} Is it possible to bring seal pack product to India from Dubai?

Better you purchase this in India only, if you purchase in other countries then you face more issues like network issues, some features missing, not all app support.

If you don't want to regret, buy it from I India. One and only reason to call this deal no brainer is the fact that Samsung doesn't provide international warranty.

That's okay then. Check if it supports native call recording(if you need it) and India UPI payments.

You will not get warranty of your device here in India. It will work with Airtel SIM but not with Jio SIM. Apart from this, some features like eSIM, Record calls, Samsung Wallet etc. will not work in it.
