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!

German version of GS 4

It looks like Germany is gettig octa core and i want it rather than snapdragon 600. I always had USA version of phone and never tried international version. Although rumors are to be said that Exynos are not going to get much development as snapdragon 600, it is ok because I will not be rooting or flashing rom. So, My question is, what will be the famous german phone sale website that will be selling GS 4 and will ship to USA? (For example in UK, www.clove.co.uk would be a good example)

If I bought one from Germany (octacore) :
1. Would it just be a case of selecting English and using my 3 sim straight off?
2. Is warranty an issue, would I have to send it to Germany should a fault occur?
3. If they ever do bring out an octacore version in the UK at a later date, am I right in thinking you could just flash the UK firmware on the German bought phone?
Thanks

1. Well if you buy sim free unlocked one and your carrier carries the right frequency yeah.
2. I have to research more on warranty but i assume samsung in us will be handle it unless warranty specifically states to be serviced in germany.
3. No idea

Related to #2: Of you buy the phone in Europe, the warranty will be available only in European Union, so in case of problems you will need to send it to Europe.
About #3, if the devices are both OCTA, it shouldn't be a problem.

UK is in Europe (for now at least ) which is why I'm not sure how warranty would work. I wonder if someone in France moved to Germany, would they have to send it back to France if that's where they bought it?

Nop, you can fix it in Germany, as well as Portugal or Romania. If you bought it in EU, you can fix it wherever you are or want. I'm in Spain right now, I will buy it from Germany and if I have problems, I can send it to Samsung Service here in Spain. That's the beauty of European Union.
@jkforce: I don't think it will work. First of all, the whole US will use Snapdragon so Octa will be kinda hard (or needs a lot of time to be fixed because of the component needed and not found locally). Also, an extended warranty works in the same way as a normal one, in this case only in Europe, but covers you of drops or other mechanical damages. You will need to ask Samsung US if they can accept you an extended warranty for an European device in US.

Is the EU warranty valid in all EU countries?

I'm getting my Note today but I wonder if I purchase from Amazon Germany or Italy would the warranty be valid in my country (Ireland). Whats your experience?

Europe phones have europe warranty. So its valid within europe

Yes, it's valid. But you will be required to send it back to the shop you bought it from if it breaks.

You can give it to any official resale shop of Samsung. You don't need to send it back to the shop you bought it

That's not ever been a requirement in my experience. Samsung deal directly with me on warranty issues & that's same whether I am or not the original owner of the handset as long as it's within the 2 yr warranty.
The warranty is with Samsung.

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?

Guys anyone know where can we get samsung desk dock for our tablet localy?

Mine also no 4G written on the back. But no big deal, as long as I can connect to LTE network. That's more important rather than a word "4G".
And made in which country also not a big deal, as we know, Samsung has some factories spread in Asia country. Mine is written made in vietnam. My friend has 1 written made in Thailand. I got another friend written Made for Europe Countries.
It's only a box, as long as your IMEI is correct, there's nothing to worry about I guess.
Cheers.

Thanks man . I was a little bit worried about it. I've heard somewhere that made by Samsung is like made in China or India. At the moment I returned it waiting for a replacement. If it didn't work I'll just keep it.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Why have you returned it? Sounds like you have a genuine device. My first n9005 came form malaysia (was meant to be europe, damn amazon) and had the ugly 4g logo on the back so i instantly returned ot and got a BTU model with a nice clean back
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I thought only the US branded devices had 4G in the back?
None of the EU N9005s have anything other than 'Samsung' on the back, and they're all 'Made By Samsung'. I spend 3 days scouring the box for a made in text after someone asked where they all came from, no such info on EU boxes.
