One question just to be on the safe side: Does the device work with SIM cards worldwide, or restricted as I found out via Samsung?
A price question: Why is this model significantly cheaper? Are they all identical in construction?
For which country specifically? Each country has slightly different frequency bands. According to GSMARENA the Sony Xperia 5 II supports the following 2G bands: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 (dual-SIM model only)
The following 3G bands: HSDPA 800 / 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100
Following 4G bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 32, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 46, 48, 66
The following 5G bands: 1, 3, 8, 28, 77, 78 SA/NSA
If you still know *which* Samsung phone doesn't support it, then you can compare.
The models are identical except for the colour. In most cases, the colour black sells a bit better than e.g. blue. Accordingly, a higher number of units can be ordered or the purchased devices are sold more quickly and the cheaper ones move up :)
