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!

Disply quality Vietnam vs China/Korea

Hi,
I have 2 SGS2, one made in Korea/finished China, second one made in Vietnam. I must admit difference in quality is noticeable, especially in display department:
On the left side (made in Vietnam), on the right side (finished in China). Please see attached picture.

my sgs2 made in china by samsung . big difference

I have one assembled in argentine, what I noticed it has different brightness profiles than european when both are with xxki3 modem. I solved this issue installing aroki1 modem (2.3.4)
Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk

Are those on full brightness?
Mine is made in Vietnam and doesn't look anywhere near as bad as yours, I'd personally exchange it for another one.

Have you checked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241590 ?
I get similar differences with the different gamma modes. Maybe that will sort out your problem.

mine is vietnam aswell , product code XEF ( France ) and the display quality is nothing compared to your vietnam product. it must be a screen malfunction.

Those are just screen differences, there are three different screens used, Supercurio has illustrated this

I'm from Vietnam and I can confirm that some, only some of our S2 have this problem. There are comparisons on lots of forums about it. I recommend you exchanging to a different one if it bugs you that much.

Are you using stock firmware?
It's said that the color/color temperature might be wrong if you use a firmware whose CSC not matching your phone's original CSC.

Well I've seen this thread, thnx., but in accordance with production rules strict standards should be applied, thus no difference to be noticeable for any sgs2 unit despite origin country.

In addition I've got for the second time defective camera module SCEF02, heavy video stuttering. I'll upload video as well later on today. Display definitely gonna exchange, but for a camera module is gonna be tricky, 'cause i've been adviced it's not for sure what camera module will be delivered. The 1st SGS2 with camera module OEMF01 has oustanding video quality, no stuttering at all.
Please advice if anyone has different camera module in Vietnam version not SCE... one?!

If it is stated made by samsung, then see battery manufacturing country. Usually it is stated made in japan, finished in korea, or made ib korea, finished in china, or like mine one made and finished in vietnam.

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.

Good day. I am planning on buying but i heard that the only models available at local samsung stores
are the wifi only p600 ones and only 16gb. I want a 32gb model but i am not sure if local samsung stores will ever release it in
the country. Where did you buy yours? What model, price and storage capacity?

If you want 32 gb probably you can buy at the online retailer like kimstore they sold 32 gb lte version but they dont have samsung warranty i guess well 16 gb is good enough for a moderate gamer just add a 64 gb microsd card

Of course you're welcome here, it's the internet! The only reason I see for this thread being exclusive for Philippines is difference in hardware or accessories availability in that particular region that may not benefit others from reading posts here. So far I have not seen anything on this thread relevant to a specific region. But if this thread were to exclude anyone who is not Filipino, then that's just silly. The Philippines and its people are known to be very friendly and hospitable to all ethnicity. Just be prepared if no one bothers to explain any cultural differences because it would be assumed everyone here knows what is being talked about, for example:
1. Can I change my tablet to wake up by saying "Hoy!" instead of "hi Galaxy!"?
2. My wife gets mad at me when I use my tablet while we're eating dinner. She says it's too hard to clean the rice off the display. (some Filipinos prefer to eat with their hands)
3. My wife got mad at me for cursing at the tablet in front of the kids. I was only using voice search for Manny's next fight! (Pacquiao, some Filipinos can't pronounce the letter F, so F*** you could sound like Pacquiao)
By the way, I'm not racist, I'm FBI. Full Blooded Ilokano.

My wife hates my tablet compared to her iPad. She says my S-Pen is so small, whenever she drops it on the floor she can't pick it up with her toes.

Don't worry about anything, this is a good thread. I've got a 32 gb, P-605 bought from Hong Kong.I love the snapdragon variant than the exynos version. I have to change the ROM though. Is this available in the Philippines? How much?

I have the G2 for 3 months now and I haven't seen anyone using a G2. I go outside a lot, in coffee shops, (I'm caffeine addicted) where I surf the web for hours and drinking coffee. I see thousands of people daily using their phone and NONE of them using the LG G2.
It is pretty obvious why; in my country (Romania), the telecoms are offering only the 16Gb version of the phone on the contract and this is stupid for a phone with no external SDcard, so nobody buys it. I feel unique in a nerdy way
I also think that LG Romania marketing sucks as they NEVER promoted the phone properly. They have stands in all the shops but none of them have the G2 on display, it's insane! Only the TVs are displayed, hundreds of them.
Anyways, it's amazing to see my friends' flickering eyes on my 35800 points on Antutu with stock ROM (they all have Samsung or Iphones)

A few weeks ago I saw a young teen sporting one at Disneyland... Everyone else where using iPhones or Samsungs...
I hate to see LG G2 doing so poorly when in reality its a beast!
I see it like this viral photo of a University auditorium filled with people and everyone except one was using Macbooks. The lone Acer user was quoted to be the only real smart person in the class! :good::laugh:
Cheers!

I've yet to see anyone with it...I feel out-casted by all my friends and family w Galaxies & iPhones. But it's ok, tiny bezels, 5.2 full HD sleek front display and the glowing LED power button during phone calls makes them drool.

but the price of the G2 was unbeatable 240€ for the G2. N5 would cost me 400€...
so i buyed the G2... now we have a black one and a white one... and so far its a great phone:good::good:
