Hi, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I have been told by some people that it is fake.
Could anyone confirm this? I will post the CPU Z and Atutu results, as well as the phone:

Its definitely real. No fake phone would have the exact same specs as the real device and look exactly the same too. Jfltexx is the real name of the S4, so yeah, its real. Whoever said its fake is probably just jealous or have never seen the fat back of the S-View cover before.

If you click the link about the VOIP handset you see that just the side view pic is from that.... i think someone wanted to show the "sleekness" and since it is not a finished product they "borrowed" another picture
So here's hoping it is real
On YouTube I found a short preview of the Samsung Galaxy S4 (pre-production version). Seems legit. Cool specs imo.
Titel = "Samsung Galaxy S4 I-9400 pre-production preview"
This is what the author says about it:
This is the pre-production (test) version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-9400. It's a very early test model.
Stunning specs! (see video for more details!)
Origin: Seoul, Korea.
At this moment it is running Android Jelly Bean. It will be released with Android Key Lime Pie (Android 5.0).
it is not a s4 it is s2 you can se the home button it is same home button on the s2

You can see he wrapped his s2 with something and changed the boot logo. Nothing to see here. You've been trolled.. Think why does it have a leather looking edge. Why does it have asop? isn't a samsung phone wrapped in Touchwiz?
I'll buy a fake galaxy s3 wrapp it in some black tape and change the boot logo and call it a s5 and see if people hype..
And of course the comment needs approval
And also the account's country is netherlands LMAO!!
That's a horrible fake...... You can clearly see the tape on the top of the device. Not to mention it looks ugly as hell. 100% fake.
Official visuals and infos are always the best things

It is an S2 or similar unit. The screen ratio doesnt look like HD or FHD ratio referring to the WVGA on the S2.

The Voice could be very similar to one Elite Dev here ..but comparimg Videos it seems he isnt it *lol* .
But it's 100% from Netherlands, the W-Lans showed "Vreedenburg" which is a City and "Meetje" which is normally a dutch word for "godmother".
And the Samsung Barcode in large on the Table is the same one as in the middle of the Phone + the Upper Lable looks cut out from normal Paper and glued onto the Tape.

Seriously just bummed myself out pretty hard with this one. #1 reason for getting an S4 was the potential of the 13 megapixel camera. The one I just broke!
S4 in my pocket, leaned against something just right I guess, and BOOM! Not really a boom more of a sad sad whimper when I first saw my cracked lens.
I've searched this already, and there is hardly even a mention of this happening on google.
Hoping that someone has good news for me, or hopefully some helpful suggestions!
Ghost Glass on the front, Machined aluminium bumper, and not a thing to protect that stupid little piece of glass (why glass?) over the camera.:crying:

Thanks for the info, ordering now, and hopefully it will be here when I get off the river next week.
If anybody on XDA is in Colorado and wants to go get wet/weird in a raft, kayak, SUP, mountian bike, or whatever... Hit me up, nerd friends are my friends. My family owns the 1st Outfitter in Colorado (since 1969) and we are really good at what we do. Not selling, just sayin.

I finally received my camera from China... Quite an interesting trip it must have been for this little thing. About to replace the broken one, wish me luck.
the case is sweet.. I really like that it protects the outside of the phone as that is usually the part to hit the ground first on a drop. I also really like the Ghost glass that I've put on the screen. It feels just like the naked screen and doesn't inhibit the feel of the phone at all. The only thing that seems to not be protected by this setup is the camera... However at $28 a pop, I could think of worse things to happen. I'll be sure to do a quick write up when I'm finished in a few minutes.
Damn this phone is easy to fix. Took me five minutes total to fix.

Can't say where it's from but it's from AT&T directly. Obviously a prototype or test model and it says not for sale on the package. Obviously a Samsung phone, I was scared to play with it much but seems a glass back and front with metal on the sides. I apologize if this is being posted in the wrong section.

Think that is actually the real deal!
So, if you have it at your disposal, can you do a adb pull /system ?
Sure, haven't tinkered in awhile. Give me basic direction in pm and I'll do it!

Warning!! I just came across this at work when my co-worker asked me to set up his phone. I realized something was wrong when I saw the screen and size of this note 4. I decided to show it off for those who is considering picking up one from ebay or Craigslist. See the comparison from a real note 4 and see for yourself. There's no real difference w/ the software but the hardware might be a concern since the battery(charger) is not Original it might blow-up or melt. The fake one is really flaky and has weird random vibration and I would not recommend using it at ALL!!
Is the bootloader unlocked? Jk.
They make and sell a replica of the note 4' I've seen s couple of really good knockoffs, but they run like sh.t. Your boy got a fake phone

Thank God I got mine from the Verizon store and not Amazon.
Is this even a problem if you have Verizon? Just pop your Verizon SIM into it and it shouldn't activate.

I was kind of wondering why this was posted in the Verizon thread. From the painted back to the locked boot, it seems pretty easy to tell if a Verizon phone is the real deal. With that said, compared to the TMO phone, buyer beware
I prefer the color of the fake's one
