Need advice;which phone/tablet for Hong Kong
 

Guys, my boss is heading to HK next week and then further inland. He wants to buy a new phone that will do two things. He wants it to work here and in China and he wants to use it to translate (Madarin) but that might be for another thread about apps.

He is interested in the GS3 or the Note II so which one of these will work in China? I've looked on the GS3 wiki and it seems like the Canadian version will work in China, the i747. Thanks in advance.

so far 3G is not a problem, only LTE won't work in Asia

So conceivably, he could take an i747, unlock it and slap in a SIM from China Mobile or some other telco and it should work fine, right?

Thanks!

Yes it will work in china or any telecom if you unlock it , just the LTE won't work

that's right. I have a rogers note 2 that I unlocked and am using it in hk right now. Fully functional with data but of course as stated above its 3g not lte.

Thanks guys. He wound up getting a GS3 and then had it unlocked so he's good now.
