Samsung doesn't offer International warranty, imo. Apple is better in this regards, esp for people importing from Dubai.

Samsung phones have region/country lock Policy. So phone purchased in UAE need to used with local UAE Sim for few hours before it can be used in India.
Also as posted above you won't get warranty.
Jio 5G may not work.
Call recording will be available.
Samsung wallet will not work.
Unless you know how to change CSC to India variant.

I don’t think Samsung offers international warranty so you need to be prepared for that.
