A:AnswerI see "русский" as an option in my S8 which is how I believe you spell the Russian Language in Cyrillic (at least from a quick Wiki search).
So anyhow, I go into Settings -> General Management -> Language and Input -> Language
From there, Select "Add Language". Now this is the trick, in this first screen, it only shows like 10 choices. However, if you press on the 3 dots on the top right of the screen, you get a menu option to show all languages. Select that, and there are many, many, many more languages you can choose from.
In addition, if you go to Settings -> General Management -> Language and Input -> On-Screen Keyboard, you get the option to add keyboards and type in those languages. I've added English and also my native language. When typing, you change between the keyboards/text correction by swiping the "space bar" to the left/right and changing the input language.
Good luck.
A:AnswerNo bloatware from third party, but Samsung itself has so many their own bloatware Like Clock, Calendar & so many others. I mean its a nonsense to have two apps for the same propose and even you cant uninstall.
A:AnswerThe International and the US version are different. Each carrier uses multiple frequencies for phone coverage. The International version covers some of the US frequencies but not all of them. The US version covers all (or maybe most?) of the US frequencies. An International version used in the US will still work, but you might not get as good coverage as you would with the US version. You might be travelling through an area where they are using frequencies that your phone does not cover. Then you will not get a signal where the US version would.
A:AnswerIt's very good. The only issue with sound is that it's a mono speaker so if you're holding it in your lap watching YouTube or whatever it's not as good as it could have. Still tolerable.
A:AnswerYes. In fact if you take it to a corporate Verizon store they have to help you activate it for free. And you don't get all the added Verizon "Blow-ware" when you get the phone from Best Buy.
A:AnswerI have the SM-G950UZKAXAA phone and took it to India.
BSNL - Was able to make calls and browse internet at 3g speeds.
Jio -- Was able to use only 4g internet. Unable to make any calls. If anyone tried my number they got Switched off message.
A:AnswerHello! We appreciate your interest in our products. An unlocked smartphone is a phone that isn't tied to a specific carrier or contract. Therefore, you have the freedom to shop for the latest phones and plans as often — or as infrequently — as you like. Plus, they don't come preloaded with numerous carrier applications that take up space on your phone. And when it comes to international travel, unlocked phones can't be beaten. That being said, we can't say if the specific provider you are referring to would be compatible with this device and suggest you reach out to them to confirm this device is compatible. We hope this answers your question and helps you with your purchase decision. ^Rod
