LOL!
If you want to:
-Pay 200 dollars more expensive(import tax + local seller commission)
-Have a bigger size(korea version is thicker than us one) and have stupid korea restriction(sms limitation, etc...)
-Take a phone who only support Korea 4G frequency and imcompatible with all other country
You can surely go for this version. No problem!!!

You're in the US correct? Would you please share with us your experience with the device and how good or bad it is working for you? Does it work on any US LTE networks at all? Thanks

Unfortunately in my area there isn't LTE or real 4G.
I was able to tweak my network settings with SKT Hidden Menu so I'm receiving the best 3G (4Mbps/500kbps) for my area.
I should have waited before buying. The Google clean S4 version would have been a better choice.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Too bad we still don't have the answer since not very many people have the Korean S4 in the US. When I get an S4 I'm planning to use it for VOIP on LTE. I've read that LTE has lower latency than HSPS+(or whatever that is) which makes VOIP phone calls acceptable in terms of lag time.

But i have a doubt.
Does the Indian Galaxy note have GPU(Malli 400) built in it?
Cause i cant find in the specifications of the Samsung India site.
I want to buy it today but i am worried about the presense of GPU in the Indian version of it.
If anybody has details regarding this please reply.

India has 3.5G in all (yes, all) cities with multiple operators (3 operators likely in wherever you go for 3.5G) and soon operators are launching 4G.
2G is GPRS which being in India, i have never seen on my phone in past 10 years, even in remote areas, there is EDGE which is 2.5G network and manages a 10kbps speed minimum (that's for villages too)
There is no NFC in note.

It is tough for us in Korea, because there isn't much English support for our phones, that is why I opened up this thread.
We have a really good thread with lots of people actively participating for the Galaxy S I. That's the phone I have right now.
So this will be a good place to post questions and answers to help fellow English speakers here in Korea (or who have bought the Korean version).
Will anyone signed up to buy one so far be able to test if they come unlocked? I know they should do but confirmation (both from KT and SK possibly LG users too) would be great. It's not that I don't trust the salespeople in the stores here but would love to know for sure.
I'm not sure if this can be done via software or you physically have to put in the other SIM card to see, shouldn't be hard though if a friend is on another network.
I'm excited about the possible upgrade!

Call the service center (dial 114 from your device) and tell them you'll be traveling so you need your device unlocked. They should take care of unlocking without problem. It took me 5 mins to completely unlock my KT iPhone. Simple and easy

Are you serious about this?
Without any charge at all? That is pretty cool if that is true!
But, how can you check to see if it is unlocked after....just put in a different SIM card?
Anyone know the number to dial to check from the phone settings?

Do you have an existing phone line? Which carrier is it? I'm pretty sure that SK and KT can unlock your phone with no charge.
Edit: I can confirm that as of September 2010, all devices sold by SKT and KT except the iPhones are factory unlocked. If you want to make sure, just check in with the CSRs!

My device (SHW-M110S) is the Korean SGS I.
It is not unlocked. I took it back to Canada about 2 months ago and put in a local SIM card. It did not work......But, I did however buy that phone at the end of August beginning of September 2010.....

If it was locked, you could've talked to the CSR for an unlock code. Your device was probably locked because it came out before SK brought out the policy. But yeah, the new ones including the GS3 should be out unlocked.
Interesting to know what are the frequencies of LTE and WCDMA in SK unit
Hoping the SHV-E210S supports the following frequencies:
WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100
LTE: 800/1800/2600
Exynos 1.4 Quad and 2GB..
With this spec, definitely i will import one to Australia.
One question tough, not sure why the SHV-E120S support 80 char messaging and i am hoping the E210S support 160 chars just like all other normal phone.
Has anyone heard exactly when the phones are coming out? I am a bit excited!
I am jealous of u guys in SK, Quad Core 2gb LTE, meanwhile I'm stuck having to get the US Variants here.

It's a korean thing, any msg over 80 characters turns into an MMS
You can avoid this by running a 3rd party sms app though easily enough.

June 28th for 3G version (SKT exclusive). I'd expect the LTE models to come out in early July. I feel like SKT is going to have them first, as Samsung seems to favor SKT more than any other carriers.

The article also states that it's a separate chip. If I'm not mistaken the reason we don't have a separate chip is because it would draw more power. That's why they tend to stick to whatever Modem the SOC supports. If the SOC doesn't support the modem, there is more power going to driving a modem AND SOC. We won't see it here anytime soon since Carriers have been adverse to have the separate chips in the devices.

Most likely won't work in the US. LTE in different countries/carriers run on different frequencies. The problem is that, is no longer would a Quad-Band phone give you true worldwide coverage on LTE. Since each country/carrier uses a slightly different frequency, the amount of frequencies that an LTE chip would have to cover is more than they currently are able to support (plus the logistics would likely be a total nightmare.) This is currently proven by Apple's use of an LTE chip in the iPad. The chip won't give LTE outside of the US. So any LTE device you import right now (or likely within the next couple years) will NOT work on US LTE networks.
battery life doesnt matter as much in Korea .. any restuarant or bar will charge you phone for you lol. i miss being able to hand my phone to any ajumma and grab a charge while i eat.

That's a pretty cool idea for this modern high-tech society and if they don't do that, then at least provide a USB port for charging.

The statement above is not correct. It should read "The chip won't work on LTE outside of North America." Remember, my American friends, you are NOT the centre of the universe. LTE speeds in Canada are the same as in the U.S. Case in point, Rogers in Canada has the identical network as AT&T in the U.S.
The rest of what you said is quite accurate.

The Skyrocket was just to introduce LTE, so there won't be a #2. Also, I'm guessing US will get quad-core LTE in the Galaxy S4. Then again, what do I know?

Canada still got it, but they canceled the US version. I don't even know why Samsung made the thing, considering how quickly the GS3 came out.

LTE is not avaliable on your hardware. You will need to purchase the 9505 variant for LTE.
So your question is redundant
I was asking if the whole lte concept is worth it, i might sell my 9500 and get a 9505 if it is.

how can another person say if it is worth it for you?

what do YOU think?
will you have the need of downloading stuff at high speeds? if not, then no, its not worth it
Well ive been living in cyprus for my whole life, fast speed for me is 10mbps and the fastest speed available in cyprus from an isp is 20-30mbps, in cellular in H+ i get approx 7- 8mbps its very fast for me if u consider that my house network is 2mbps so for me is not really worth it.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
this suggests you will be able to use LTE with your i9500
And that would be incorrect. The I9500 is not LTE capable. The E300K/L/S versions support LTE.

the reason i bought galaxy s4 GT I9505 here in italy is because of the lte radio in it. and i say the speed is very impressive. i have already tested 3 networks here namely vodafone, tim and h3g and i spend lots of money just to activate and test their speeds via speedtest.net. h3g has the fastest reaching speeds of up to 73.46 Mbps download and 13.89 Mbps upload, but it is still very costly to download files through this technology, maybe in time it will go down. however, activation of lte here in italy costs 1 euro/month for h3g, 6 euro per week for tim and for vodafone its automatically activated without cost, its the traffic that costs a lot. rigth now i am limited to only 150 Mb per day but good enough to browse the net and do my banking transactions using this phone via lte due its speed.

And that would be incorrect. The I9500 is not LTE capable. The E300K/L/S versions support LTE.

Yeah, to be exact, the 9505/E300K/L/S supports LTE but not LTE-A, which is what the 9506/E330 supports... I think? And neither on the 9500.
Edit: got it wrong first time around...

Ahaa, useful, thanks both. How sure are you about the 9506?
So if I wanted a 32gb white S4 with LTE-A, I can forget about the 9500, and potentially forget about the 9505 since I can't find it for a good price/at all in white in the USA, and also it's maybe worth waiting anyway since the 9506 is the 9505 with a souped-up processor?
Don't suppose anyone knows any more about the 9506?
It can't be far away, a telecom company in Germany will be selling it and it's soon to get FCC approval in the US http://www.sammobile.com/2013/08/17/international-lte-a-galaxy-s4-gt-i9506-visits-fcc/
Almost wishing I'd waited now!

Been looking into it: seems that IFA (a tech show in Berlin) is on literally now here and Samsung are currently going through their wares. Nothing yet about phones, only smartwatches & tablets, I assume they'll be the big finale.
Or not: looks to have finished, nothing explicitly about the 9506 or 9507. Peculiar. Maybe the situation with the S4 has gotten so fractured and confusing they can't even bring themselves to announce the new models?!

Apparently Samsung are planning a review to look into the disappointing sales of the S4. I wonder to what extent those poor numbers are attributable to Samsung flooding the market with a confusing myriad of ultra-similar models?
By my reckoning there are 3, soon to be 5 variants of the same model, with up to three (64gb never seen in the wild) RAM options and colour schemes differentially available depending on location, with international capabilities mostly understood from enthusiast messageboards (esp here). There's already talk of the S5. Why on earth didn't they wait a while to get everything in place and make one international LTE-A compatible variant with the best version of their Exnos chip tweaked and mass produced and working well, all RAM & colour options available from the outset?
Yep. The number of S4 variants is crackers. It feels like the phone was rushed to market to meet a deadline set by PR/marketing people who weren't communicating with engineers... that's just me speculating though!
I wonder if the 9506 will have a bigger battery? That Snapdragon 800 will surely consume more power.

Note 3 Carrier Selection

Which carrier will you use for your Note 3? (Or are considering using)
I currently use Sprint, but I'm disappointed with their lackluster data network so I'm fairly certain I'm converting to t-mobile (with an outside chance of using AT&T, but unlikely).
I'm curious as to what the breakdown is amongst Note forum frequenters. I apologize for the lack of options for non-U.S. carriers, but that information is not of interest to me (Although the proportion of international users is useful, I suppose) I'm a statistician by trade, so the purpose of this poll is to satisfy my (and others') curiosity.
If I get a Note 3 it will probably be a tmobile one because of the unlocked bootloader. I'll use it on ATT. The tmobile S4 works on ATT without a problem.
"technically"
AT&T for me, but, it will be via straight talk, now that they are going to start doing LTE. I was thinking
about AIO, but now that ST is on LTE, I'll probably stay with it.
i don't use much data a month, less than 2 gig. Most of my data is wi-fi anyway. Been happy with
ST, so I don't see any reason now to switch.

I went with Sprint ~2 years ago out of principle (the only carrier I could get unlimited data with) but their network has been so slow for me I can't take advantage of the service. I can get discounts for both t-mobile and AT&T, but I feel like t-mobile offers a stronger value over the next two years for my usage. Depending on how aggressive the throttling is with ST's LTE network and how reliable the service is I'd definitely consider giving them a go, too.
Verizon for me.
I've still got their true unlimited and I'll be damned if I'm giving that up.

So you will be paying full price for it?
well im looking to get full price.. im on att and i been reading that it will be locked and now i read that tmo is unlockedboot..
will tmo work on att 4G/LTE? dont the S800 chips support LTE-A? att is going to get it first or has it already in some places ?
i need a phone that has rom support and needs root.. cant stand bloatwares
I will be using at&t as usual..... The locked bootloader I'm sure will be resolved or bypassed so I'm not worried about it! The most important thing to me is root which should not be a problem!

still new to this rooting thing.. so unlocked boot lets you use the phone on other carriers ? and root just lets you get root access so you can install roms/uninstall bloatware ?
im going with att buying it full price and maybe go back to t-mobile..will the att work on t-mo network?
Unlocked bootloader will allow for custom roms and kernel along with custom recoveries! Root is what it sounds like it gives root access to all system files. Sim unlock releases use on other carriers. And yes at&t device will work on T-Mobile bands.

Is better the other way around... AT&T Note 3 does not support the T-Mobile 1700 band... So you are better of getting the T-Mobile version and using it on AT&T... Since it supports all T-Mobile and AT&T bands...

AT&T LTE - > yes
LTE-A -> yes (same hardware)
Yes it supports it...
As someone mentioned before... More to gain, nothing to loose. With the T-Mobile version
Not to mention wifi-calling with T-Mobile... With the T-Mobile rom...
I do crossovers for the note 2... I have the AT&T Rom on the T-Mobile note 2 forum and the T-Mobile rom on the AT&T note 2 forum...
And the truth is that from my experience T-Mobile Roms are much more smooth than AT&Ts... Plus leessss bloatware.

This is exactly what I'll be doing. Purchasing a T-Mobile variant of the note 3 at full retail price to unlock and use on AT&T's network! :good:

I'm planning to order the Note 3 from Negri Electronics to use it with AIO Wireless, but I would like the option to use it with TMobile in the future. I also want to be able to root the phone to get rid of the bloatware. I was going to get the ATT version when I started reading these posts.
For what you're saying it's better to get the TMobile version because the 1700 band. However in the product page in Negri, for the ATT version, 1700 is listed as supported:
4G Network LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 (I cannot post the links to Note 3 product pages in Negri since I'm new in the forum)
Does that means that the 1700 listed in the ATT version is not the same as the 1700 that TMobile uses? Do you still advice to get the TMobile version over the ATT version?
I'm new to all this stuff and will appreciate any help deciding.
Thanks in advance.
