Hello guys!

I just bought a phone (Galaxy S5 G900FD) and its parallel imported. Ofcourse its brand new.

After I searched it though, found out this is from Arab emirates.

I went to 'about phone' and it clearly says Arab emirates.

I bought numerous of phones before and this is kinda look strange since I've never seen like any phone actually says like 'Arab emirates' below 'about phone' section.

Is this normal?

Do I need to flush and get NZ rom?

Bytheway, does NZ rom provide better performance than this international rom ( )?

Thanks guys and sorry for my poor English!!!

Thanks in advance!!

I think the big thing to look for is the frequencies it sends on. I gather oceania used a different mhz to other areas for 4G.

should be fine, no need to flash NZ rom unless you have issues.

edit: I should have siad that I haven't run a NZ rom of any of my galaxy's for longer than a week.
