you mean you cannot go to the Samsung website and find out, such as this page:

Ah ah just a simple change on the upper right from US to EMEA to get Europe

No I can't. Shop advertises something like Samsung Galaxy S10 4G Pink. Exact batch numbers are simply not advertised. Only way to check is to open box, start the phone and check About Screen.

I had similar problem with cheap Lenovo. Chinese models were sold in EU, but would not support all local 4G frequencies. But doing this bait&switch with flagship phone is unacceptable!!

You don't have to open the box, there's usually just one model per market or carrier and the model number should be on the label as well...

EU has like 50 markets, 300 carriers and anybody can import anything from enywhere.

Don't buy open box from resellers...
