Its probably a fake Note 3 with a Mediatek cpu made by HDC mate. look on google for HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9002 MTK6589T. Look on the box for Samsung stickers, in the bootscreen animation for Samsung and model name and on the battery if it says Samsung.

There are many fake Samsung devices in China, sometimes you have to look hard to see if its a genuine device. The price of the device could be indication, look for the Samsung name on the Battery, in the bootanimation you should see Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9002 and look in settings/about phone/device info/ for info. Just saying to be carefull and make sure you get the right one

Yes, it's a CLONE. Like always, people are trying to manufacture gimmick devices. The poster of this video indicates it's a clone and there are numerous comments associated with this video.
It seems exactly the same phone as the n900!!

I admit, it's a good knock-off but just that, a knock-off. I would rather know (or hope) I'm getting quality components by paying a "premium" price for my device.
Well i dont want to buy it.. there was an italian store witch says me the sold the n9000 over the n900 as they sad the product is the same!
So.. big liers!

There is an n9000 model, review:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-ebay-daily-deals-for-749-with-free-shipping/
The video though is one which depicts a cloned device. This the poster admits in the synopsis of the video and you can see people inquiring about the costs. There is a legit n9000 model by the looks of things and if you're at a reputable dealer, it's highly unlikely they will be selling you a clone. I would stay away from eBay purchases though or other online sales methods as it may be very likely you would be the recipient of a cloned device.
Simply it's not a real samsung model even if it's exatly the same as a normal n3
Right?

The video you linked to was that of a cloned model. The link I provided indicates there is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 model n9000. If you are at a reputable dealer, they most likely would be selling you a legit Samsung branded model as they would not wish to jeopardize their reputation by selling knock-offs.
Unfortunately, in today's society, there is a huge black-market for knock-off goods. Similar looking but different. The video itself was that of a clone but I'm going to assume the one offered by the dealer is of legitimate origin and manufactured by Samsung.
It's strange.. the n9000 seems completely the same phone as the n900

To clarify... The video depicted a cloned Samsung N9000. In other words, a knock-off which could be bought at a cheaper price. If you are at a mobile retailer and they are wanting to sell you an N9000, this is a legit device. The main difference is the N900 has a OCTACORE Exynos processor which is not as fast as the N900 Snapdragon processor and also the N9000 device does not have LTE capability. The N900 device has a faster Snapdragon processor and is LTE capable.
Perhaps you lot should use the search function instead.

N9000 is the International Exynos version. N900 is exactly the same phone. They're just leaving off the last 0 as that's the model-differentiation number.

The n900 has the 5420
The n9005 has the s800
The n9000 should have the mediateck octa
Btw.. snap is not faster than exy only in gpu.. it has a very BAD math module.. it means more freq for match computation = worst arch
Nope Nope Nope people.
You're just thinking that it should be N9000 because Samsung models always have four numbers (N7100, I9000, etc) but this phone is just N900 people though it would be N9000 following their previous logic but no and thats the reason why it is named as that in eBay and other sites and this Chinese Kirf.
There's no N9000 model just N900

I think this thread has gone off topic and like another member suggested, the OP should use the search function and possibly Google for further information. Both these models are AUTHENTIC Samsung devices which vary slightly with hardware internals. The original link to the YouTube video posted was for a "knock-off" variant of one of these models. Should you wish to buy one of these models and are at a local mobile retailer in your area, they will be selling AUTHENTIC Samsung devices as they would not wish to risk their reputation by selling "knock-offs". As to the version you should buy... This all depends on what features you want and what you plan on doing with the device. This decision is up to you and if unsure, Google both models for comparison and as a last resort, speak with the store representative, explain your needs and see what they recommend. Definitely compare both models yourself though so you have a solid understanding of each. I typically do not take information provided by a sales rep with 100% accuracy.
Hope this helps!
Hey everyone!
I bought this phone last Christmas on LightInTheBox.
This is all what I can find on my phone (software and hardware):
- HDC Note 3
- Type behind battery: n9002
- Model (what android tells me): U9000
- Runs on android 4.3
- Kernel dates from 3 Decembre 2013
- CPU-type: MT6589 quad core
- ROM: 8Gb
- RAM: 1Gb
- Dual SIM
So I'm having a few troubles I really can't seem to be able to solve:
- When phone is on Edge (E) it constantly locks by itself (goes to lockscreen).
- Can't change the background of the lock screen, there is no function built-in to change this.
- When I go to settings > check for software update it always tells me: there's is no new version but I also get a pop-up screen at the same saying 'failed connecting to the internet' so that clearly doesn't work either.
Can anyone help me solve these problems? Or is there a newer ROM avaiable (link ?) because I can't seem to find one for this specific phone.
Thanks everybody
In case you didn't notice, this is a original Note 3 forum, not a fake note 3 forum.

This is the difference between a REAL Galaxy Note 3 and the chinese knockoff.... If you bought it as a Note 3 thinking it was real, I'm sorry to say you were had. Hopefully it was only around $250US as that is what it's worth from a lot of sites.
Unfortunately though as you bought a knockoff you can't use any of the Note 3 firmwares, roms, recoveries or method to update/root or modify it....
The only thing you might be able to do, and it's a long shot, check with the site/shop you bought it from and see if they will give you an update, though I wouldn't hold my breath...

Ah damnit! Didn't notice I posted it in the wrong section .
But yeah, I am well aware of the fact that I have bought a knockoff! 750 € is a ridiculous amount of money for a phone, that's why i decided to buy this one. Thx anyway for the reply..

Hey guys, a buddy of mine bought a Rose Gold Note 3 while he was in Korea and now is selling it. I am thinking about buying it off of him even though it is not compatible with LTE here in Canada.
My main concern though is if the phone can be rooted and if there is a variety of Roms that can be put on it. I base my buying decision on this with every phone I get.
Is this phone considered different to the development community than say an American Note 3? Will this cause a seperation in the Rom development?
The phone runs a Snapdragon 800 and not the Exynos.
Thanks a ton guys!
ps. Would you get this phone over the M8?
What is the model of the phone? For example the international version is called SM-N9005, please answer this so we can help you out

Take a look here if you want it rooted/custom ROM'd/modded. This is the main thread for Korean Note 3s. I'm pretty sure if he didn't update it often you can still use towelroot.

I wouldn't even get a Note 3 at this point dude. Wait for the new Nexus or Note 4....
Im planning to upgrade my 4 years old LG Optimus G AT&T.
I was thinking of buying used Galaxy S6 or new Xiaomi Mi5, but there was another phone that im interested in, Note 4. Its dual sim N9100 version.
The box is on chinese so i guess its for chinese region.
Does this phone supports newest android? Are there any problems with this model? Can anyone tell me what score is this phone getting in antutu and geekbench?
Used galaxy s6 - 310e
New xiaomi mi5 - 290e
New note 4 dual sim n9100 - 300e

This post is over a year old lol
But if I may say, Galaxy Note FE is terribly over-priced. You can buy an S8 with that money and have some left over, and the S8 has a prettier design than what the Note 7 (FE) had

I just got one and if anyone has had any luck enabling LTE bands other than the default on this thing - I need you to get at me.
I can enable them, but I can't make the work - even with a custom ROM and Kernel.

The only real method is to take the back off and look inside. See if it looks like every other s8 and then check the model number on the primary mother board as it will be printed on it

I chat with samsung they asked for the model number, serial number, and imei
They said that it is original distributed in Korea. I ask for the model name and they said it is SM-G950N based on the serial number and imei that i provide to them
