I live in the US but my step-son is currently living and working in Europe. He has asked if I could get him a Samsung Galaxy SIII so I looked online for what was for sale. I found the unlocked US version and the unlocked international version of the SIII, both for sale on Amazon.
When I looked at the specifications of both phones they seemed to be very close. In particular they seemed to use the same GSM frequencies, but the international version was about 50% more expensive. I don't really mind spending the extra money but I don't know if there is any reason to do so. So my questions are:
What are the differences between the phones? I don't mean minor differences like different outlet plugs, but are there any functional differences between the versions that would make a difference to him in using the phone? And
Will the unlocked US version work in Europe if the frequencies are correct? I have checked the frequencies used by the carriers where he is living (south of Moscow) and those used in the phones and they match. But perhaps there is some reason an unlocked US phone will not work in Europe. I just don't know.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
