It's just an arbitrary and unnecessary restriction from Samsung.
S5 Duos support LTE band 8 for Telkomsel Indonesia so everyone who claimed otherwise are incorrect.
And the people who say you don't need FM-radio because you have 4G has to be d**b. Most people in the world don't have 100% (inter)national coverage nor unlimited data quotas.
And to the guy below that don't know things: No you don't necissarily need wired headphones for antenna, the Lenovo S920 has a builtin FM-antenna that works without headset.

loved the phone touchwiz finally became better, great features and hardware ... only bad thing about this phone is the design it's really ugly apart from the screen , it cost me $630 :P for that price it should look a little better.

We might buy factory unlocked 4G/LTE smartphone from specific country, and it will continue to work with any different carrier. But we have to keep in mind that international devices are made based on regions. So a device that was bought from KSA will continue to work in dubai with 4G/LTE coverage because its mafe to work with middle east market. It will continue to work in eastern asia (for exampleexample) but with 3G coverage coverage only. Reason is as i said earlier, devices are manufactured to work in specific regions.
While buying a device from another company, make sure you check what bands does it work with, and compare it with the bands used in your country.
Hope that help

Finity, 16 Jan 2015So far, the S5 duos seems to be ok except for one thing; it does not have a radio. I wonder why.Who the hell needs FM radio that wouldn't work without the wired headset?
Internet radio is the best!

g, 12 Jan 2015using dual SIM cards is a mess. I used:
SIM1: Home SIM (GSM...)
SIM2: Visiting country SIM (... moreI think you are the one making the mess.
Learn to set the dual SIM functionality first.
My S5 Duos doesn't have any problem at all.
I can make calls and receive SMS on SIM 2 even SIM 1 is connected to internet.

using dual SIM cards is a mess. I used:
SIM1: Home SIM (GSM...)
SIM2: Visiting country SIM (with internet WCDMA)
SIM2: Internet worked, wasn't able to place a call and outgoing SMS probably got lost
SIM1: Could not receive SMS, loads of errors when trying to send SMS
I don't know whether this is a mobile network issue, but I moved one of the sims on a different phone and I received a batch of SMSs that never got delivered. I believe the whole "duo" sim stack is messed up
