Samsung’s latest high-end model, Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The other day, it was released in Japan by docomo and au, and so far it is the impression that it is the best-selling among the recent Galaxy S series (just an impression).
However, this time, it turned out that there is a SIM-free version for the domestic market in this Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The model number is “SM-S918Q”, which passed JATE (Japan Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Examination Association) certification on March 38.
From the model number itself, it cannot be concluded that this is a SIM-free version for the domestic market, but since it has passed JATE certification, it is for the domestic market.
with this,The existence of the SIM-free version (manufacturer’s direct sales model) of the Galaxy S23 Ultra for domestic use has been confirmedThis is quite good news for users who were waiting for the SIM free version.
Is there a possibility that the release will follow Xperia’s bad habits?
On the other hand, there must be many people who want to announce it at the same time as the carrier version like overseas, and it is unknown when this SIM free version Galaxy S23 Ultra will be released.
There is also the possibility that it may be quite far ahead.
The method of releasing the carrier version first and releasing the SIM-free version after a few months, or even half a year at the longest, has been mainly used by Sony for the past several generations of the Xperia 1 series and Xperia 5 series. Method.
As for the reason, it is said that it is “depending on the carrier”, but there are many complaints about the method of unnaturally shifting the release timing between the carrier version and the SIM-free version.
Samsung’s Galaxy is also more dependent on carriers than Sony’s Xperia, so I think it’s a difficult place, but I don’t want you to emulate the “bad habit” of Xperia’s domestic sales strategy.
