Hey all! I’m trying to find a decent price on an excellent condition used or a sim free new s23 in the UK. I’ve found a couple of options on Amazon, but I’m a bit hesitant.

I know about grey imports, and one seller has confirmed that the phone is an EU model, not UK.

Is it a bad idea to use a grey import? I know the warranty will probably have issues, but what about software updates etc? Are there any risks in that area?

    My wife has an imported S22 and I’ve not noticed any issues with it but she doesn’t use g or s pay. I’ll have to check with her later.

    Got it from AO and whoever the importers were (bright electronic I think?) had reflashed the software to a UK one I think. Apparently its allowed by Samsung for certain companies registered with them or something. It was cheaper than any other offer I found so we went with it.
