Hi.
Ive just bought a Samsung Galaxy s21+ from fonehouse with a link through this website. I was about to open it when I read the seal saying it’s a European model that’s been changed by reseal ltd. Can anyone please tell me what this means as I am now considering returning it.
thanks

    It means exactly as it says on the label - the stock has been sourced from Europe and software and plug changed to UK spec.

    Ultimately this shouldn't affect anything given that you will still have a warranty with the retailer and also the phone itself regardless of where it will have been sourced from will have have originated from a factory in the Far East (Vietnam/China mainly for Samsungs).

    Samsung UK may void the warranty though .
    Firmware may well be non UK .

    My s20 was sourced from Italy via Fonehouse and had no issues, inserted my UK sim and updated firmware no bother

    Had an issue with the charging cable and got onto Samsung live chat and confirmed the warranty is valid for the UK and sent a new charger and cable within days
