Using international here as a stand-in for non US or Canada models. Specifically looking for use cases of the Europe / Africa / Middle East / Oceania model.

    I have the international version of the S23. I got it so I could unlock the boot loader. No compatibility issues with Verizon or 5G networks.

      Great. No issues with SMS (pictures are low-res) or visual voicemail?

      Which model do you have? You’d be missing out of mmWave 5g on international models according to GSM Arena. You still have low (basically 4g) and mid (~350Mbps) bands, but you’re missing out on the high bands which can do > 1gbps connections and are amazing at crowded events like concerts.

        Where on the website does it say that? I couldn’t find references to what you’re saying with that link.

          At the very top of the full specs on the right hand side. The teeeeeeny tiny light grey button that says expand shows the supported network bands. They just break it out to US and “international” which I assume means they’re all the same outside of the US.
