Hi. Can anyone advise on how to load new firmware for S6 Edge+ purchased in China as the phone does not have any pre-loaded Google services including Playstore???

And what did you pay for it.

R14000 for the 64GB

Does not compute to pay virtually the same for a non-supported Chinese version? Am I missing something?

sounds to me like you bought a fake

It's not fake. All Google services are blocked in China so any chinese android smartphone will not have Google Services/Playstore pre-installed.

100% fake.

That said.

Install the service first the the play store apk.

But maybe just installing the apk's would be blocked too.

Just get the SA or unbranded UK firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash it to the phone using Odin.
