Yes, it's a CLONE. Like always, people are trying to manufacture gimmick devices. The poster of this video indicates it's a clone and there are numerous comments associated with this video.
It seems exactly the same phone as the n900!!

I admit, it's a good knock-off but just that, a knock-off. I would rather know (or hope) I'm getting quality components by paying a "premium" price for my device.
Well i dont want to buy it.. there was an italian store witch says me the sold the n9000 over the n900 as they sad the product is the same!
So.. big liers!

There is an n9000 model, review:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-ebay-daily-deals-for-749-with-free-shipping/
The video though is one which depicts a cloned device. This the poster admits in the synopsis of the video and you can see people inquiring about the costs. There is a legit n9000 model by the looks of things and if you're at a reputable dealer, it's highly unlikely they will be selling you a clone. I would stay away from eBay purchases though or other online sales methods as it may be very likely you would be the recipient of a cloned device.
Simply it's not a real samsung model even if it's exatly the same as a normal n3
Right?

The video you linked to was that of a cloned model. The link I provided indicates there is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 model n9000. If you are at a reputable dealer, they most likely would be selling you a legit Samsung branded model as they would not wish to jeopardize their reputation by selling knock-offs.
Unfortunately, in today's society, there is a huge black-market for knock-off goods. Similar looking but different. The video itself was that of a clone but I'm going to assume the one offered by the dealer is of legitimate origin and manufactured by Samsung.
It's strange.. the n9000 seems completely the same phone as the n900

To clarify... The video depicted a cloned Samsung N9000. In other words, a knock-off which could be bought at a cheaper price. If you are at a mobile retailer and they are wanting to sell you an N9000, this is a legit device. The main difference is the N900 has a OCTACORE Exynos processor which is not as fast as the N900 Snapdragon processor and also the N9000 device does not have LTE capability. The N900 device has a faster Snapdragon processor and is LTE capable.
Perhaps you lot should use the search function instead.

N9000 is the International Exynos version. N900 is exactly the same phone. They're just leaving off the last 0 as that's the model-differentiation number.

The n900 has the 5420
The n9005 has the s800
The n9000 should have the mediateck octa
Btw.. snap is not faster than exy only in gpu.. it has a very BAD math module.. it means more freq for match computation = worst arch
Nope Nope Nope people.
You're just thinking that it should be N9000 because Samsung models always have four numbers (N7100, I9000, etc) but this phone is just N900 people though it would be N9000 following their previous logic but no and thats the reason why it is named as that in eBay and other sites and this Chinese Kirf.
There's no N9000 model just N900

I think this thread has gone off topic and like another member suggested, the OP should use the search function and possibly Google for further information. Both these models are AUTHENTIC Samsung devices which vary slightly with hardware internals. The original link to the YouTube video posted was for a "knock-off" variant of one of these models. Should you wish to buy one of these models and are at a local mobile retailer in your area, they will be selling AUTHENTIC Samsung devices as they would not wish to risk their reputation by selling "knock-offs". As to the version you should buy... This all depends on what features you want and what you plan on doing with the device. This decision is up to you and if unsure, Google both models for comparison and as a last resort, speak with the store representative, explain your needs and see what they recommend. Definitely compare both models yourself though so you have a solid understanding of each. I typically do not take information provided by a sales rep with 100% accuracy.
Hope this helps!

Its probably a fake Note 3 with a Mediatek cpu made by HDC mate. look on google for HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9002 MTK6589T. Look on the box for Samsung stickers, in the bootscreen animation for Samsung and model name and on the battery if it says Samsung.

SM-N9002 version is the version of Note 3 that is with two sim, right? ... why you say note 3 dual sim doesn't exist? Or i just missunderstood

There are many fake Samsung devices in China, sometimes you have to look hard to see if its a genuine device. The price of the device could be indication, look for the Samsung name on the Battery, in the bootanimation you should see Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9002 and look in settings/about phone/device info/ for info. Just saying to be carefull and make sure you get the right one

Fake for sure.
Return it or get a refund, do a PayPal claim.
You should also post the link to the auction to raise awareness.

Hello,
my dad is thinking about buying note 3 n9006 variant, n9005 is also an option, but price difference in our contry is huge. About 150€+ between these models. From specs I can see that only difference is internal memory, and it's ridiculous to pay that much just for extra 16GB. So I'm wondering is there any other major differences between these two models? For ex. camera quality, display quality, and overall quality of the phone.
Any input would be appreciated.
9006 China dual sim .
9005 International version .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574886
Samsung SM N9006 is not only dual sim , I have this phone and is the single SIM variant,difference between the two phones is the model 9006 comes without the Play Store installed.
Thanks for replys. After reading whole thread @JJEgan pointed me to, we went to check our local seller that had the phone, and after checking it, I'm pretty sure it was one hell of a good clone, so we've given up on buying it.

Is Samsung still selling the note 3?

In my country, no. Official samsungs resellers do not have Note 3 in stock and will not getting any of it. In some other stores there's a used ones, and "new" ones which appears to be clones.
If the screen was Super Amoled, which is not hard to check, then it wasn't a clone...
Alright this may be kind of a dumb question and I apologise if it's not in the correct spot/has already been answered but I currently have a oneplus 5t and I want to move to the s9 when it comes out. I am a huge themer and I love to root/unlock bootloader/install custom roms. Based on what I read it seems that exynos version of Galaxy phones are a lot easier to tinker with compared to snapdragon. Id assume if the s8 exynos works in the US so will the s9. Can anyone confirm this or let me know? I have at&t. Thank you.
Yes, it should work. I don't think I heard anyone mention the opposite. So it should work without any issues.
I have an Exynos Galaxy S8 Duos (SM-G950FD) and I use it with T-Mobile here in Arizona. I haven't had any problems with carrier compatibility, 4G/4G+ works like a charm.
Thanks guys!
I went from 6P, to Pixel XL, to SM-G955F(S8+) on T-Mobile here in Idaho. The signal is great, and I dont have any problems. The S8 is much easier to flash stuff on and modify than the Pixel was, and its working fine here in Idaho. I made the move to Samsung in September.

Is yours the international version? Or does it have exynos processor? Sorry I don't know the model numbers. Is exynos generally easier to root and unlock bootloader for compared to snapdragon?
Mine is international, purchased from Clove in the UK. Exynos is best if you want to do any modding on your phone. Root, flashing, etc. are all very simple with Exynos. To my knowledge the Snapdragon variants cannot be bootloader unlocked, so very limited on what you can do.

I assume you have to buy a separate charger then as their plugs are different over there? I assume the pins on the micro USB are still the same?

It uses usb C which I've got a couple cables already. So yeah you could probably buy an adapter or buy a charger if you didn't already have one.

Yikes. And do I have to pay for a region unlock or??? Idk how that all works.
I think the only thing lacking on the Exynos S8 is Band 30 which probably doesn't really matter for most people, as it's so new and of limited deployment/use.
