International warranty on Samsung mobile phones

Jan 24, 2015 6:07AM PST

I am a resident of India. I would like to buy a Samsung mobile phone from Dubai due to a significant cost difference. However, will the UAE warranty stand valid in India ? Is there a international warranty available on Samsung mobile phones ?

Samsung is VERY, VERY picky. They will only warranty devices in the country of purchase.
I strongly advise you buy locally, and make sure they will warranty in your country.

As noted. Iffy, varies widely.

Some countries don't want international warranties. I lived in Canada for many years and the gov there wanted nothing of this. It's not as if it was not possible.
