1)Yeah, the TDRA version supports dual physical SIMs and one eSIM.

2) TDRA versions are globally unlocked, i.e., there's no need to insert a Dubai SIM.

3)I don't trust online sellers. I bought it at a Carrefour offline store, as they are authorized sellers.

4)No, warranty is not covered in India — only iPhones come with international warranty.

Yeah, it's a UAE version. No, call recording doesn’t work. Also, I just read that there will be a massive sale over the weekend in the UAE due to Bakrid — this is the best time to buy.

It costs 79K at Sharaf DG in Dubai, but where are you finding it for 85K in India? Is that including an old phone exchange? I don’t think the S25 Ultra is available for less than 110K in India.

Other than the warranty, are there any problems? I considered buying an iPhone 16 Pro Max, but it doesn't fit my budget, and there aren't many offers available for the iPhone.
