Samsung Galaxy S7 Dual SIM Kogan eBay "Seal Broken"

Hi Guys
On 29 May I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S7 Dual SIM from Kogan eBay with the 20% discount and I am surprise to receive it today. I thought it might take another two weeks to arrive.

On the box there is a seal which states "Do Not Accept If Seal is Broken"" and guess what the seal was already broken.

In the box there is a "Samsung" Asian power adapter and in a separate box there is a "Sansai" Australian power adapter.

When turn on the phone everything is in Chinese. Just need to look for the options in setting to change it back to English.

There are 2 folders which I am not sure if it automatically comes with the phone:
1. Chinese character folder with Instantgram and WhatsApp already installed
2. Microsoft Office folder with some Chinese characters.

I downloaded 360 Security and ran Clean and Antivirus.

The Antivirus reported "Caution 2 issues found". I got it to be repaired.

The model I received is SM-G930FD. This is my first Android phone. There is no physical damage I can see on the phone.

Should i be worried about this phone? To return it? Something I can install to check the phone apps?

Thanks.

    A broken seal is somewhat common on Kogan phones. Considering Kogan sources phones from where ever he can get them, their response that it's for QA purposes kind of makes sense.

    Either way if the phone is in 100% condition cosmetically and functionality I wouldn't worry. This is the risk you take for Kogan prices.

  • Yeah seal broken is fine.
    Just check xda-developers or sammobile, flash with official rom then you will be fine. Enjoy.

  • Thanks the-mal and eisniwre.

    I had a look at sammobile website and looking at the PDA number which is the same as my S7, not sure what is CSC beside the PDA on the website.

    My S7 Build number is MMB29K.G930FXXU1APD1. So I am ok. Thanks.

  • Hi Tashaz
    I was Thinking of buying this.
    Can you please check and confirm in your phone if Has Band 40 (2300) and does it have the Exynos processor?

    The deal is ending today so a fast response will be of great help.
    Thanks

  • Just out of curiosity what are the 2 supposed "issues" that 360 security found?

    • Can't remember. So far it has been working fine. Dual SIM is great for my purpose.
