Question about Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

I have decided to get the Snapdragon version of the S21 Ultras because of the better thermals and performance. Does anyone know if this can be used without restrictions in Switzerland? Are there any differences/problems with the networks, language, support, pay etc.? I would be glad if someone could help me. Thanks

So I wouldn't do that again this year, to get the Snapdragon. With the Exynos 990 (Galaxy S20), the difference was already considerable. It's definitely different this year, the Exynos is in no way inferior to the Snapdragon, I know, despite its bad reputation.

There are no language problems with the Snapdragon, you can switch. Most of the networks should work, although I can't guarantee that 5G, VoLTE and wifi calling will work properly. Samsung or Google Pay do not work at all, as far as I know. You would only have support if, for example, digitec sold the Snapdragon version and then only here. This was seen with the Note 20. Otherwise, however, you have no warranty in Europe, as these devices are not intended for here. For all these reasons, I got the Exynos version and I'm extremely satisfied, which I wasn't with the Note 20 with the Exynos. In other words, the risk of services such as VoLTE or even wifi calling not working would simply be too high for me. Sure, you have the Snapdragon inside, but with such compromises, no thanks.
