Dubai. What's CSC?

UAE does have Samsung Pay functionality already. You can install the .apk and it could possibly work

 

[Inviter]

Yes, you can change the CSC to a country that supports Samsung Pay. Check on XDA.

I want to install the following apk:

Is it safe? It seems that it's the US or international one. Not sure. I'm a noob in this.

CSC is a country specific code.

APK mirror is safe. Try it

Perfect. Just download it. It's the US app. It seems to work. How do I change the CSC?

You flash the correct csc that you want only once you've fully researched the topic.

Thanks, but since I'm a noob, I am going to pass.

Yep, typically Unbranded always has better battery life and performance.

Must say though, I have had no issues with my branded Vodacom Note8, and I have removed the Vodacom apps I could remove.

I bought mine from take a lot. Is it a branded device? I don't have any network logos on startup

What do you think as there are no network logos?

Yep, it is indeed unbranded and is probably a XFA device, the best to have as it is exactly how Samsung intended it to be.

With XFA you can still use Cell C's firmware. I think cell c's Wi-Fi calling and Samsung Pay should work with no issue on it if u using cell c

On my XFA I had to flash vodacom firmware.

Xfa is the absolute slowest with updates though

2 days ago I decided to unpack my earphones as I needed for a trip to Jhb. Only then did I discover that the Note 8 includes a clear case in the box

LOL! How long have you had it that you discover this now?

Funnily enough I have moved back to the clear case for a little while, really like how it keeps with the phones design and doesn't take too much away, but it is a bit flimsy for a case.

 

[Ecko_1]

I had the phone for a week before I realised. I like the clear case. Shows off the Orchard grey nicely and has a slim form factor

 

[Musiclover08]

Did everyone get this clear cover?

 

[Traq]

I got one as well, been using it since I got my phone

Did everyone get this clear cover?

It should be in all local Note8 boxes, I guess. I thought it was only included in launch phone boxes, but it seems all of them get them, at least locally.

I have had this phone for a while now and i didnt realise the cover was in the instruction booklet box.
