Dude,
There's actually any difference between them. Don't get worked up.
It still remains the best phone of 2011.
Just enjoy it and have fun.

thank you krazykat and ram3n
this mobile coming from france and i like it just a little effect of cigarette in cover

Isn't everything made in China, give it ten years and China will probably take over the earth, probably rename the planet to porcelain utter butty and be done with it.

The one made in Korea is....well, made in Korea. The one in China, upon closer examination probably claims to have an 8000 gigapixel camera, an antenna that extends from the bottom, runs win98 "mobile", freezes when you check the date, doesn't say Samsung but rather "Sunnisang", claims a battery life of roughly 499 years (depending on the usage of the said camera) and the only available wallpaper has something to do with Hello kitty. Just sayin!

Galaxy Note 2 short hands-on

Hey there,
I just thought I would share this with you people. I work for a carrier (don't even bother asking which one ) and we received our test unit today!!! It's the grey version and it looks totally awesome. The screen real-estate is just outta this world. I put it side to side with my S3 and looking at them, I became a bit pissed at my purchase as when the Note 2 was announced, I had thought that we would never carry it (ok, I've already said enough)!
I'm sorry I can' really say much but I had it in my hands for about 5 mins...! It was a 16gb model. I witnessed popup s note, popup browser (NICE), the new menu when you pull the pen out...oh yeah and this thing is FAST!
I have no idea about the release date (they wouldn't tell us), although I find it a bit strange that we are receiving a unit so soon. I've read on several sites that it would be next November...!

You must be in the united states, you said several sites said November ( that's US release month) and you said you didn't expect it so soon ( Europe is expecting it starting this Friday, going on next week). I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you work for.....sprint or at&t but I'm not sure which one

Nothing is ever certain in this world...
I didn't actually have enough time with it (5mins) to notice any potential bugs (and mind you, we only received the phone today). I can ask my colleague who's in charge of the device though to see if he notices anything odd.

I do have that info. It seems that even my employer is announcing it on its website so the info is already in the public domain. So here goes: SGH-T889V.
You won't find much when googleing that, except for a reference related to Samsung's Smartview app.

Strange galaxy I9100- made in korea

for the first time i met such GT-I9100 i can't say SGS2 because every thing looks the same but slightly bigger than the well known SGS2 international and the software of the phone is also totally different of that of the International SGS2 .
I attached the images of the stranger , every who knows can tell us what is it ( the stranger)

Looks no different to my s2 from what I can see in the photos except for the wording tflash on the back.

If it is same as yours, then , what firmware version you are using now? this uses V 4.1 GB

Is this some fake Chinese sgs2? I know for a fact that there exist fake iPhones which are very similar to the original iPhone. Also the the name of the apps in drawer are not what they are in Samsung phones be it it any model.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2

looks....................taller....and cheap.

It's a fake, here's why:
1. T-flash at back
2. 1000mAh on back
3. App: 'Camcorder', should be Camera; 'WLAN' should be 'Allshare'
4. Strangely large home button.
5. MOBIL PHONE rather than MOBILE PHONE
6. Wrong looking MicroSD slot.
7. Should be 'MADE IN CHINA BY SAMSUNG', not made in Korea, and it should be South Korea.
8. IMEI numbers should be seperated by a forward slash (/)
9. There should be a space between S/N and the colon )

Also seems lcd screen, not amoled.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

its fake due what has been said above and also the external antenna on the back is missing for samsung testing purposes,
those Chinese phones with mediatek cpu are getting better at looking like the real thing, I've seen those fake samsung s3 and they use lcd screens instead of amoled, and also a dual core.when you go to info like the OP did you can tell its not real.

[Q] Where was your US version s4 made?

Hey everone. Im a proud new owner of tbe s4. Ive read through the threads on here and some ppl are having issues with overheating, battery life, and lag. Well I cant say the same. Im stock right now, but have cleared data and disabled 65 apps&bloatware that came with the phone. Ive been researching online and found some devices are manufactured in Korea and some in China. Also it says the US market phones are from China(the ones that seem to be having the ill effects. Well mine was made in Korea, and a friend of mine has one from China. Needless to say, my friends phone is having the above described ill effects. So I told him to return the device back to BestBuy and see if tbey have a Korean version. Anyone having issues with the Korean version? Share your stories

i have the korean made one and the only time it gets hot is when it's on the charger overnight. any other time when i'm holding it off of the charger, no matter what i'm doing, i dont notice a significant increase in heat. the times that it does get hot, it is hottest up around the camera area.

I keep a temp gauge onscreen at all time. its rare for mine to reach 100°. once or twice it reached 104° wben using wifi while charging. thats nothing. I came from a lg nitrk hd where my normal temps were 105°+ during heavy use. ive votten that phone to 127° multiple times

There is another post that polled korea vs china

My S4 was made in Korea and have not had any overheating problems or lag problems. I accepted the OTA...rooted... and phone is even smoother than before.

My I9505 is from China and has no issues whatsoever so far, not even the sound cracking issue that everyone else seems to be having.
Most Galaxy S4 phones seems to actually be made in Korea though. I had a "made in korea" I9505 version replaced before (played with it for a few minutes) because it had a defect on the screen (some kind of air bubble between the Amoled and the casing.)

Mine is made on Korea. It works great and the battery life it's amazing.

The Reason for the delay

So I wonder, what's causing this delay in the Z2 launch? Which component is in shortage? Don't you all wonder the same? I'm sure if all of us discuss we can get to the bottom of this.
You can take a good look at all the internal here.
Points to be considered :
1. Its not Qualcomm.
2. Each and every part except for the IPS panel, 3GB RAM and 16GB internal memory is manufactured by Sony. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
3. It cannot be the internal storage as Galaxy S5 ships with the same.
So it has to be either the 3GB RAM from Samsung, probably that's why they didn't include it in their own flagship. Or the IPS panel. To me, it seems more of the RAM issue. What about you guys?

That's already said - it's IPS panel.
Try to search a bit, there was article about that with a link to source.

Not according to Vodafone UK. although I'll only believe it 100%when I have the phone in my hands next week lol.

You'll have to Google it...
Can't remember where I saw that but I know it was on XDA.
But it was said that it'll be postponed but or limited edition will be released with panels they have or they will have.
So I guess it's not problem in manufacturing but most likely it's just factory capacity problem...
There was some rumors Sony won't stayed on IPS for Z2 because of that but I don't believe in that...

Now I just hope Sony doesn't release a Z3 in August. -_-
Z2X with a snapdragon 805 and 2k display would be better! - Wikipedia suggests it'll be a Z2X.

Well mine is still slated for 15th April so no delays on mine from Tele2 Sweden which should be considered a major partner to Sony
