Samsung Electronics GmbH
Hello,
Samsung smartphones that come with the new European base firmware do not have a European SIM lock. The European base firmware can be recognised by the suffix EUB at the end of the model code. You can use these devices directly with a global SIM of your choice without activating a German SIM. There is also nothing to stop you using a European SIM in combination with a non-European SIM.
However, in view of a possible service case, we advise you to always buy the device in the country in which you mainly use it. We can only guarantee the warranty of German models within the EU.
Kind regards from Schwalbach,
Your Samsung Service Team

Unfortunately, you will not be able to use it without restrictions; Samsung Pay and Wifi Calling, for example, will not work.
