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.
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 ?
