I am looking at getting a new Samsung Note 3 and found a deal on expeditelectronics but it doesn't say much about the region lock or specs.

Its about £70 cheaper than Expansys so not sure if its worth buying it from here

For me the problem is if it goes wrong and you have to return the phone to Hong Kong, assuming they're still trading then.

It's all about saving vs hassle vs not getting stung

Not sure what you mean by "region" but the Nexus 5 only has 2 variants for the world, D820 North American and D821 Rest of tye World and this only affects different 4G frequencies

And as mentioned already ExpediteElectronics sent me the UK/rest of tye world version despite their advertising the North American spec

It also arrived very fast
