Install an app like CPU-Z or Phone Info to identfy the phone. Most likely its a S5 copy, so a fake device.
CPU-Z or Phone info aren´t 100% but chinese download mode say its fake

The 900H is an International (Exynos processor) version S5. You didn't give us the baseband /firmware /build version from the Settings menu "about" screen, so we can't narrow it down more than that.
You can find the specs on the Samsung site, but I'm confident that the 900H would be HSPA+ aka "3.5G". Not 4G LTE. Presumably it has Chinese firmware installed on it. Download mode should be.. remove the battery and any USB cable for ten seconds to assure that the phone is off. Then press and hold in this order, so that you end up concurrently pressing three keys: volume down + home + power. Hold until you see the android robot on the recovery screen.
If you still can't access download mode and given the Chinese characters, you may have a better quality fake clone. There are apps e.g. Phone Info, Cpu-z to help identify fakes.

yup chinese writing in download mode
its a very good clone
fingerprint scanner
heart rate sensor
just sucks i traded my new iphone 5s gold for this damn clone

Actually those results are inconclusive. You may have a genuine but esoteric S5 model - a Chinese market 900S from Korean SK Telcom. Or it could be a premium fake like the updated clone by Goophone.
Run an extended benchmark suite to conclusively discern what the processor is and you'd know. Or easier and probably sufficient, what is the actual screen resolution?
.
Screen resolution on google chrome says 640x 340
And on the internet browser that came with phone it's 1280x720
The back cover doesn't have a rubber seal for water proof
It says 900s but the sticker under the battery says 900h
706
Also when I connect the phone to my computer it says there is only 2gb of storage

Because the clones have very bad firmware and even worse hardware, they that make and sell it don`t give a damn and offer no support or warranty. Real devs will not even touch these devices as there is nothing to gain for none other then then for the people that keep buying these knock offs and have themselves to blame. Quality is seldom that cheap

Yup, definately fake mate. Hope you paid a a price in accordence of the device or you`ve been scammed. Look at the kernel (fakes have a 3.4.5 kernel), Board. Just Google the Imei of the phone if you want to buy some guys phone, on a site like this one for instance http://www.imei.info/.

I think the phone is fine!
The storage seems about right! , Remember you will never ever get the full 32 gb and what you describe lines up with what i get on my phone
2.35 Gb of Ram ? Thats also fine, Android reserves about 700 mb for system usage etc!
Stop hissing about, its fine
IT could be that Sammie may have got it mixed up... where did he get the phone from?

Go to Settings, General Tab and Applications. See what the Device Memory on the bottom says. I doubt there is any way to fake a Samsung Moment for a Note 3
Actually I stand corrected. There are fakes out there. But clearly there are differences. Check your battery and compare it to the one in this video. Also notice this device does not have a Samsung logo on the front.

Just enter some of the Samsung dialer codes in the dialer. They don't work on fakes.
Try *#0*# for example.
If it's a fake, it won't bring up a test menu.
The GT-N9005 is the European model I believe. I have one that model.

It seems that this fake does have some kind of menu, but it doesn't seem to be the same as the real one in every way. If you notice, the resolution in the JellyBean test menu is much lower (i.e. the Jelly Beans are much bigger, but on a full HD display, they should be small.)
Try a few more obscure codes. I bet they don't have all of them ported to the fakes.
The best way to check if the note 3 is fake or not is spen. Only original note devices have wacom digitizer. If your brother have an ori spen with him, test it on the phone.

The S-Pen is a Samsung only product and the Wacom digitizer in the Note is tied directly to it. There are some things that cannot be faked, and this is one of them. Testing the S-Pen with the presumed fake will tell you if it's real or not.

Original spen only works on original note screen.
'S' pen is a stylus that Samsung has created for Samsung Galaxy Note. It does not work on any other Samsung phone. So you cannot use it on touchscreen's which do not use Wacom's technology.

Yes.
Go to a store, find demo unit of Note 2/3/10.1 and try on your screen. If it works its a REAL Note 3. if it doesn't its a fake., or go to the app store and download an app called "Genuine Galaxy S4/Note 3". If you have xposed framework installed with xprivacy make sure you have all options unticked. You need to install xposed and xprivacy so if you haven't it's not on there.
Run the app and it will tell you.

If your phone really has a Mediatek processor then it is a fake. But as already mentioned, not all programs correctly identify the chip. You should confirm the finding with another program and preferably provide us with a lot more details about your phone so that we have more confidence in the verdict.
Photos of the phone and any literature? In particular the top exterior, the label under the battery (you may wish to obscure part of the IMEI number) and a screen shot of at least the Settings menu > General > About Device. Particularly helpful would be installing the Phone Info app and tell us the results.

I'm also wondering the same thing. Running CPU-Z returns MediaTek MT6592, 8x ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1.66 GHz.
I've looked at some other videos and discussions online on how to tell a fake one apart, but for the most part it looks real, has waterproofing seals, a 16MP camera, heart rate monitor (though i have my doubts as to its results), etc. The Android version is 4.4.2. The fingerprint scanner doesn't seem legit, though, as i don't really need to slide my finger over the home button and any finger will unlock it. All in all i'm not really bummed as it was a third of the price of the other S5's listed online and still is much better than my previous phone. Really i just wish i could find a way to root it... I actually never really considered that it might be fake, though i was a little curious after reading about some of the things here:
ibtimes.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-10-amazing-hidden-features-you-never-knew-about-1445367
...notably the touch sensitivity, which i don't have as a setting.
The battery life is also really weird, when opening certain apps (QQ, Anki) the battery life rapidly falls (completely gone within a couple hours) and i've got to restart the phone for it to stabilize again. I can watch movies or listen to music for what seems like days, though.
Try connecting via usb the phone to the PC and opening Kies 3
Hey, thanks for the reply. I just managed to root it using the tutorial here (though CWM is upside down??):
youtube.com/watch?v=s66e-kwvKUU
Also, KIES 3 doesn't detect it, should i take that as a good sign it's a fake?
I think it's fake
Does the fingerprint sensor work? If not then it's absolutely fake.
Next is how much was the selling price? Too cheap means probably fake.
Now about the processor, the second you see anything other than qcomm or exynos, it's already fake.

Yep, it says that it can only be used with Samsung phones. I guess that settles it.
Hi everyone
I'm currently considering to buy an used Galaxy S5 on our local website. But, unfortunately I'm afraid that someones going to somehow give me a S5 clone - which I don't want.
So my question here would be this: Can someone, who has the orignal S5, download from the Play Store the CPU-Z app, and make a screenshot of those 4 tabs within the app? There are 4-5 tabs (SOC, System, Sensors, and Battery tab).
This way I will have the correct information from the original S5 and I can compare those to the one that I may or may not gonna buy.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
PS: Sorry for my bad English

Could you make those screenshots and post it on imgur, or any other image sharing website. So that I can compare those with the ones I would get from the vendor

Hi Mudasir, Thanks for the information. Are there other ways to check the genuineness of Samsung Note 3. Actually, I have a lot of important data on my phone which I don't want to wipe up by doing factory reset.
However, a long time ago, I reset my Samsung Galaxy S3 and in the beginning, the phone asked me to select the language and there were several languages in the drop down list which include Arabic, Chinese and several other languages. Do you think whatever mobile phone has Chinese language as an option, is a fake phone?
Ya but if default language appear chines then its is fake...nd try phone info apps from play store nd post screen shots let me c

@mudasir13 : This is not the case unfortunately as my phone and IEMI no. is verified. You were so confident that It seems you have been involved in making fake mobile with less RAM for years.

Yes i saw it mentioned s4 but i don't think it's indicating s4 model as it's s4 pro.
I however missed out 1 thing. The cpu is 2.0Ghz whereas note 3 is 2.3.
@murtza4u, try to install different phone samsung info(by vndnguyen) and post some other screenshot.

Here are a couple of other screen shots from an app which showed it is a genuine phone. This app also showed my full 3GB RAM
Run the Run CPU-Z from the app store on the phone and it will give processor information etc its free to install.

Hi all,
So I basically bought fake Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - was confirmed by Samsung service centre. Firs time in my life is a victum of scam :crying: All reported to police etc. but the problem remains - I need this phone for work. In particular, I need to use the app called "Samsung Gear 360" it works with Samsung 360 camera. The fake one has "Android 6.0.1" which does not support the app.
Question: is there a way to make the fake one to support the app? Or can I update Android 7 to this fake Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge? so I can work untill I can buy the genuine one.
Thanks a lot in advance!
thats probably different phone that looks like s7.
see what you have in model info?

Unlikely I'm afraid as it would rely heavily on Samsung framework and services, which your device is probably lacking

isnt it logical?
different phone=no support for rom
try flash 935f rom to at&t or just different s7 model and see the result - let me help you - brick, so thread should be closed

Not being rude, but I think there is a communication gap here. Firstly you seem to hand misinterpreted his initial post and now you are making no sense at all...
ok, so point him just 1 rom that he can flash if you are so helpful and intelligent.
answer to 1st post is:
no, you cant flash, because you dont know whats inside your phone, it could be mediatek, qualcom or whatever chinese put in.
so no app for this device
