I think it's the Canadian S9+ based on the model number G965F. Generally I think most of the information can be found using the information in the baseband version.

Canada is G965W.... G965F looks to be European but what else ?

Hi Cassidy,

Please share the screenshot of the device status which can be found under About phone. 
Yes, the model number of a Samsung Canada device ends with "W" as you mentioned earlier.

This seems to be from Europe and based on the CSC seems to be from Australia on the Telstra carrier

All I can say is that it's definitely not a fake phone, a fake S9 wouldn't have One UI 2.0

I'm sure that Cassidy will be able to tell if it's fake from looking at it though

The build versions are mismatched. That's why there are no updates. The device appears legit to me though. Please wait for a more detailed analysis
