Question!! What's the pros and the cons if I flash my S22 ultra Canadian version into the US version ? Can I do that right ? Is there any risk?

Yes you can do it.

Pro:

Get the One UI Beta v5.0 

 

Con:

Although it's not that complicated, you need to know what you are doing. 

One UI V5.0 Stable is going to be available for your device in Canada shortly.. Is a couple of weeks early, and then having to Flash the Canadian Firmware to get the OTA worth it at this point?

Mmmm just been curious over here. Since I noticed that, Samsung wallet isn't available neither in Canada, not yet, and OTA updates is getting too late, maybe I was thinking in give it a try🤷🏽 don't know if that's worth it . What do you think ?

What's the advantage that Samsung wallet has over Samsung Pay that makes you need to go through all that hassle?

Sorry, I am legit curious as to why so many people wants/needs Samsung wallet.

No it's ok. I understand!! But, Canada it's been the last in everything related to Samsung. Maybe there is a reason for that. But sincerely I don't know why

If I had the S22 series, I would wait now for the official launch.

If you were asking when the Betas were released in the US a couple months ago, then sure I would Flash it, but now you may have to wait just a couple of weeks.

The Betas for my device, S20 Ultra have just been made public, but not for the Snapdragon variant yet.

I'll most likely try it, because it will probably be a month plus, before the Stable version is available for me.

Hi, that's good to see that you found the information needed.

Also we would like to inform you that we do not recommend flashing the phone as it will void the phone's warranty and may make the phone not usable.

Thank you, RedDogRabbit.

You can flash back to the Canadian variant at any time, at least Samsung US spoils their users with Beta software and doesn't leave them in the dust.

What are you talking about? 

Flashing the US Firmware, does NOT void the warranty!!! 

You are Flashing Samsung's own Firmware, you are NOT Flashing a Custom Boot image. 

You are NOT "blowing" the e-fuse. 

You are not "tripping" Knox flags. 

Flashing the US Firmware is completely reversible & completely undetectable that it has happened.
