Hi,
I found (to)cheap Samsung S4 so I need info how to recognize is it original or good fake ?
Sent from my GT-I9100G using Tapatalk 4 Beta
It has the samsung air gestures, smart stay and the likes. That's something that can't be copied easily.
But then again if it's too good to be true then it probably is

I currently own a s4 gt-i9505 clone from China and it does not have air gestures or smart scroll...

During purchase I can try to connect it on the laptop so does Samsung Kies recognise just original Samsung phones or fake can cheat Kies ?
PS.
Price is 330 €

Sorry, that's exactly what I meant on my post. The fakes are easily spotted even though they also run android. They have inferior display and chipset.
My suggestion is to install cpu-z on the suspected fake and check what the chipset is.

use benchmark apps like antutu, you will know if its fake or not if the score is too low.
Also check out the packaging and compare it to the original.
I can view what chipset I have on my phone but antutu can't recognize my device

It looks it, first there is no Android version 4.1.9, second that's not a Samsung baseband version (even custom roms keep the installed baseband) third that's not a TouchWiz or AOSP status bar, it all looks like a fake to me.
If I take it to a phone guy on The market will they b able to tell me

There's no need to have them confirm what we have already told you. You bought a fake phone.
Yup, as all others have said, it's a fake. Not any info in that screen is correct, especially not the baseband.

That's the fake Chinese dual sim S3. Samsung have already proven it's not the S4. It has also been dismissed in many online Android magazines.

Hahahaha it has the same delay as the S3 with the dialer app. The drawer seemed laggy too. I'm not getting this, I'll wait for the Galaxy S5. It even looks almost the same as the S3 so no point xD

When will the S3 get 4.2?
Some time in May/June
Some time after the S4 is released, so May earliest.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Do you think we'll get everything the S4 has provided it isn't hardware dependent? Or will they hold back on some stuff?
We all waiting too.

I can't see them giving us everything, if they want people to upgrade from the S3.

S2 got most things the s3 has. I would assume the same will happen with s3. Things like screen resolution, 13mp camera, air view, pedometer, barometer etc won't come across due to hardware - these are the reasons you would upgrade. Exactly same as s2

Can you not upgrade your phone to the new Samsung software which is coming with the S4?
I am afraid the new software would bog down the S3 and I want my phone running fast and don't really want any of the new software features I have seen.

yeah you shoult think about it 2GB RAM + Quad-core 1.4 , screen with 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches (~306 ppi pixel density) and battery Li-Ion 2100 mAh
its realy awsome.........................
I'll definately upgrade to the S4, even if I love my S2 and it still runs perfectly! :laugh:

I wonder if this Octa version will suffer like the S4 Octa,meaning no CM based roms before 3-4 months?
