The company, however, won’t be removing region-locking from its devices. Instead, it is working on making the procedure more consumer friendly and asked for more time to solve the issues and answer the queries of its frustrated customers. Below is the official statement from Samsung, translated into English with the help of Google Translate -: Meanwhile, if you are facing issues on your Note 3 due to region-locking, Samsung recommends you head over to their nearest service center.
