My box says: Made in Vietnam by Samsung.
I have owned Samsung Galaxy S2, Note 1, Note 2, older Note 10.1 tablet and they all were made in Korea. This is first one made in Vietnam.
I bought two Note 10.1 2014 Black 32 GB and both of my boxes say Made in Vietnam by Samsung.
It was made in Vietnam. That still takes some getting used to here in the US, seeing made in Vietnam, not that I'm against it (I'd rather have it made in the US, but what can ya do), it's just weird to see it. I was 4 in 1975 when the war ended.

Haven`t got my new 2014 edition yet , but had bought 2 from the 2012 edition , 1st one made in Korea & the 2nd was made in Vitenam & build quality was horrible with the Vietnamese one, Korean Build was much more firm & solid.
Mine was made in Nam.
It's a dark day.
i thought the Vietnam Factory was dedicated to the market of middle east / africa
while S Korea Factory directed towards Europe and North America, thats why we try here in middle east to get the Version from Europe or USA with older model of 10.1
need more people to confirm that from USA, or what Retailers selling which version

The Serial sticker on my "2014 Note 10.1" box just says: Made by Samsung. Couldn't find any other reference anywhere on the box, besides letters in the Serial number.
Vietnam here. Vietnam is the new low-cost labor source of Asia so its not that surprising. Its probably just assembly the same way components are made in china and then assembled in places like Taiwan or Hong Kong. Still wish it was made in Korea. At any rate its mostly irrelevant. Everything is done by machines.

Nothing wrong with Made in Vietnam. They have good labor laws that protect factory workers from work abuse. Big quality brands such as Kipling, Northface, etc.. have factories in Vietnam.

Well, they also have a staunchly communist government, that doesn't allow dissent or protest,so they may have good labor laws, but the people have little to no freedom to speak out.
Made in Vietnam. Supporting the Dong.
I hope Made in South Korea isn't becoming extinct like Made in Japan/USA/etc. Previous Samsung mobile devices have been Made in South Korea and the quality has been proven. I'm open minded towards made in other places but the quality is unknown. For example, my new Made in China Note 3 has multi-touch issue which wasn't an issue with Made in South Korea Note 2.
I wonder how to check where my tablet is made?

For Samsung phones it's usually printed on the phone underneath the battery. For tablet, you have to go by what's printed on the sticker affixed to box.
IIRC Some of the things that were done so cheaply in China have moved to VietNam, as laber rates in China go up. Perhaps that has something to do with it.
My Best Buy purchased white 16GB model was also made in Vietnam. I, too, was surprised to see this. I prefer Made in Korea as well.

With many people still waiting for availability it would be useful to know where you can buy one without having to import.
Please don't post to say that it's still not available, but just to post to say when you have found that it is available. Thanks.
I’ll kick this off with the US.

One more word....it seems that French Galaxy tab 10.1 are coming with the USB adapter.
Is the 10.1 available in Vietnam and how much does it cost ?
Hi there, i'm planning a long trip in vietnam and Laos starting mid-september. I was wondering if the marvelous Gtab 10.1 could be available and at what price in Hanoi Airport, or in town. Maybe i can save some money on a 32Gb version or adapters and dock.
Thks.

any idea when the rest of the world will have it?
Looks to be a Taiwan exclusive thing. We get a lot of these exclusive only in Taiwan packages here. They did something similar with the SGII, they just released a pink version here as well. The Taiwanese change new cellphones like they change clothes. Don't see why this Note wouldn't work in Europe, all phones sold in Taiwan are always unlocked and international versions with no branding from the phone companies like in North America.
I just bought a Galaxy s3 off ebay and the box says made in China. Is that where they are made? Did I buy a fake or something?

China is where they are made, like everything else.
Even the iphone 4S is made in China. I had to pickup 3 of them for my relatives back in China since the US version was cheaper than to buy them in China
I diddnt realize that. I was thinking I got scammed. Oh well.. Its a bad ass phone anyway! Only thing that could come between me and my S2!
Hmm? Aren't they supposed to be made in Korea? Anyway Samsung has their own factories not some knock off Foxconn

My Galaxy S2 Skyrocket says Korea. Thats why I was confused. The S3 is AT&T branded and works great so far at leas on WiFi. I am waiting on sim card cutter. Ive heard of many others with Chinese versions mainly in North America. Seems the Euro version is made in Korea. Everything seems legit.
Saw this:
$900.00!
Yesterday, we told you that US Cellular and Samsung India are accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 and today were made public the release dates of Note 2 for several European countries. It seems like Europe will get the upcoming Samsung sensation phone first and you should try to find more info at your local dealers to find out if you can pre-order it.
Samsung says that it will start shipping the Note 2 ‘phablet’ starting with September 27 and the first country that will get it, is Germany. However, almost all European countries will receive the device in weeks 40 and 41 of 2012. It will be released with the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and it comes in two different colors, Titan Gray and Marble White. You should check web sites of your local dealers and see if they are accepting pre-orders for Note 2.
The release dates for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in Europe are these:
Germany – 27th of September.
Italy – 28th of September.
Netherlands, France and UK – October 1st and 2nd.
All other countries in the EU should get the device around the same dates. The device will pack a 5.5 inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera, 1.6 Exynos quad-core CPU, Premium Suite for Note, S Pen stylus, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The pricing of this smartphone-tablet device starts from 700 Euro, but it might differ from country to country. Also, Samsung said that they expect to sell at least twenty million units of the Note 2, but I personally think that that number is a little out of reach seeing that numerous phone manufacturers are getting ready to launch new devices in Q4 2012.
The Titanium Grey and Marble White are the available colors, just like the ones used for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you like big screen devices and you take into consideration the specs of Note 2, then this device is a must-buy and you shouldn’t hesitate to purchase it, even if the pricing is around 700 Euro or $900. Tell us in comments that you think about Samsung’s new Note 2 device and whether you think that it will become an instant success or not.

price is high, GPU is old....
hope HTC will release a phablet soon (im buying only htc, samsung and sony. samsung is expensive and sony wont release a phablet..).
~ 2 more weeks and my suffering will be over (on a Nokia N97 temporary cuz my original note died on me )
The reason the price is so high is because it includes the VAT (value added tax)
For those outside Europe, the price should be about $150 lower.

oh..I always thought it was a "I Gotta Have It FIRST" tax.
According to the US Cellular pre-order, it's $299.99 contract and $799.99 off-contract.

did you buy the international version ?
do you have the URL of the store ?
In India, the retailers are estimating it in the first week of October. Let's see though.
European retailers have links you have in stock soon.
If you can tell me I would appreciate some.
Cheapest I've found is at http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-grey-unlocked/

unfortunately not, even the Euro versions with LTE (right now there are at least 5 different versions, not all have LTE and the ones that do have LTE only work with a limited number of networks, most Euro versions will work with ATT 3G and 2G)
Thank you very much for the link to the store if you do not know any German website send outside Europe as it seems to be the first country to receive the note 2.

oh yes october 1st for UK! Gunna have to buy this on release day!
