Try testing imei number for verification
I don't know the exact procedure, but it can be figured if the imei number of the device is issued by Samsung or not,

I think it's not original samsung device because when any copy phone comes out they change a litter or number from the phone model becasue it's fake and I see here in the picture that the phone model is SM-G900 with octa core CPU but the real one with octa have the name of SM-G900H and I think they fake it and another thing the about device page that you uploaded is tottaly different from mine and mine is original even in the original there are more informations like security software version witch not appears on your pictures and I will attach a shot screen from my about device page to see the difference ... I hope I helped you

Fake. No version of the S5 has A7 cores, and the versions with Qualcomm chips do not have eight cores.

I've never heard of a 'G900'. I had a quick look on sammobile to see if I could find a match for that devices baseband. (N900UBUB)
I couldn't find any though, so that makes me immediately suspicious.
I would be steering clear
Sent from my SM-G900I using XDA Free mobile app

like the first guy told you, check the imei number. how??
first get the imei number then go to imei.info and put the imei number of the phone in the website and it will shows you if its fake or not ?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Looks fake to me too.
Haven't seen an octa core version cpu s5 and there is no model after the G900 (e.g G900F)

100 percent fake.
There is no 2.5GHz Octa Core Qualcomm CPU paired with an Adreno 330 GPU.

In your country they say:
Quando a esmola é muita o pobre desconfia.
Don't buy that crap if you want a S5.
There's an spanish online shop selling both S5 quad/Octo a bit cheaper (499/520 € + portes) - or a lot cheaper compared with some of the biggest shop's in our country.
I don't know if I can mention here which store is, so if you want to know send a pm.

Fake. You can close thread!

They've got a guy out here who sells cloned s5's.. At the flea market to boot! I called him on it in front of customers and he threatened to have security remove me if I didn't leave :victory:
Sad too, People actually buy clones - Just don't understand why not advertise as such?

As others have already pointed out, those information screens have numerous anomalies. It's not genuine.

Hey guys, yeah it's fake, no doubts now, I'll stay with my nexus 5 for a few more months. He even said it was original(why lie ? not all of us are dumb), in the moment, I find it suspicious that's why I posted it here.
Thanks everyone.

T-Mo Galaxy S3 gimped; using MSM8260?!?!?

According to several news sources today, in response to questions regarding LTE compatibility, T-Mobile has stated that their GS3 uses an MSM8260 SOC rather than the MSM8960 everyone else is getting. For all intents and purposes, the MSM8260 is a Snapdragon S3. This is contrary to the A15-derived Snapdragon S4s (MSM8960) in all other US GS3 handsets.
If what I wrote above is true, then the T-Mo version of the GS3 is a gimped device - more like a refreshed and slightly larger GS2 with an HD AMOLED screen.
Since I'm a newb with less than 10 posts, I can't provide external links to my sources. However, Google "tmobile GS3 LTE MSM8260" and you'll see the CNET article I'm referring to.
I did read they decided not to use LTE on the GS3, I haven't heard anything about a diff processor though. This is CNET, not the most reliable source...
It does seem unlikely to use different SoC with the early hackers indicating that AT&T and T-Mobile are ROM-compatible, but I guess somebody will have to step in with some real proof.
I really hope I'm wrong with my previous assumption.
I forgot to ask, but could anyone with a T-MO GS3 post a screen shot of your processor specifications using a diagnostic application? I'm really curious to know whether or not the T-Mo handset is using an S3 or S4 SOC.
If it's an MSM8260 (S3), then I'll stick with the GS2 for now.
on android system info the board is listed as MSM8960. This info is taken directly from the phone itself. Also, Samsung and T-Mobile contradicted themselves in the article. T-Mobile spokesmen have been wrong before.

Thanks for the reply. I'm happy to know that I've been proven wrong in this matter.
It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me when I read that article - afterall, why would T-Mobile insist on using the SGSII SOC instead of the newer Krait SOC again in their flagship phone?
Edit: Just saw your screen shot. Thank you again.
pheewwww, you guys are giving me a heart-attack with all these "bad" news today.
Lol I heard it was a different soc model number vs the lte version but the cpu and gpu are the same. No scorpion core.

Sorry about that. We were discussing the matter of LTE on the T-Mo forums when I noticed that the CNET article stated the SOC in use was an MSM8260. Thanks to this forum, that misinformation was quickly corrected.

Suprising they're spitting out phones with those specs as of today. I mean, we're almost in Q4 of 2012.
No, no, no... You want the HDC I9300 Pro... It has the MTK6577 processor that goes to 2.0Ghz and has 1 Gb or ram... Its also dual sim (if you want it to be) with a normal sized sim &/or a micro sized sim. Or 2 normal sized sim if you want. White or Frost Blue. And only $210US... What a bargain....
Might be nice for a novelty, if you have a spare couple hundred floating around but I have other things to spend my money on...

This, also with a 8MP camera it's quite the bargain...

I guarantee you it's more like .8MP. I've seen China phones that were 12MP but in reality were 1.2 at best.
And if you've ever used a decent smart phone, let alone an S3 you would definately notice the difference. The knock-offs are horrible to use.

It can be an 8MP sensor but if the processing sucks it'll look like a 0.8MP shot.

S4 Specs leak?

An antuntu benchmark for the S4 has leaked it's specs.
Network: GSM/WCDMA/LTE
CPU: Exynos 5410 1.8Ghz
CPU Cores: 4 + 4!!
GPU Model: PowerVR SGX 544 MP
System: OS 4.2
Display:
Screen size: 4.99
Resolution: 1920X1080
Camera:
Front cam: 2.1 mp
Rear: 13 mp
RAM: 2 gb.
Antutu populates that information by hand for the major devices, it cannot be retrieved from the system information.
Without confirmation it means nothing.
Speculation, in the case of them manually putting it on their servers, if it's automatic it's a fake benchmark.

This was speculation by a major analyst. It isn't fact, it's just an educated guess at this point.
It could be official.
AFAIK, I don't believe benchmark scores in antuntu.
If you put trust into those scores, you could say that dancing around in your garden naked for 5 minutes increases your device's performance.
Well but the specs do look somewhat similiar to what we heard.
Wasn't the rumour of 13 mp, 2gb ram and 8 cores going around?
And here's proof:
I saw an article up on DroidViews as well about this. He was decent enough to upload a photo.

Exynos vs snapdragon. Which one to buy

I am going to get the Note 3 in a few days. I like its hardware, the display, size and battery. But i hate touchwiz. So i will be installing cm11 asap. For this reason, is snapdragon model better than exynos? In India i can get exynos from anywhere but s800 is available only on ebay. Please advice what should I go for? Thanks in advance

one has 4G (SD800) other only has 3G(exynos) -- Depends what you want out of it tbh.
I need only 2g. But i need good custom rom support, especially cm. For that which one is better and by how much margin. I read that exynos source codes are never released.

I had the Note 2 exynos version earlier. I had bad battery life on it after installing cm rom. Can the scenario be different on snapdragon viz a viz the battery life. I think the rom can be well customised only if hardware codes are not restricted.

It is possible yes, but @stanley08 has got crazy battery life on his exynos Note and I myself get very good battery on the Snapdragon model, it is mainly user dependant with battery. - a lot of people have issues on both variants.

i would suggest the N9005 as it seems to be the more future proof device since it comes with 4k Video recording & playback capability & i think games like GT Racing 2 runs a little better thanks to the Adreno 330.....compared to a friend who has the Exynos version..felt a little laggy to me...

ZTE Zmax Pro comes 6-inch, 1080p handset with fingerprint ID

China mobile phone manufacturer, ZTE is committed to launch the third generation large screen android phone, ZTE MAX Pro to support LTE network. It will come with 6inch 1080p screen, which is the largest screen and highest screen resolution of ZTE.

First two generation of ZTE Max has 1280*720 screen resolution. the screen has 5.7inch and 5.5inch. This year ZTE Max pro will be the first powered by Snapdragon 600 Octa core processor, and it has 6inch screen with 1080*1920 screen resolution, running Android6.0 OS. Compared with the former Zmax, it still uses RAM 2GB, but the rom will update to 32GB. As for its dual camera it has 5MP front camera and 13MP back camera. It is very similar to ZTE imperial Max in terms of screen and performance.
In addition, ZTE MAX pro will be the first one with fingerprint scanner, right now we are not sure about its selling price. It is possible to be released this summer. Stay tuned.

It will need to be unlocked. Just tried with my Tmobile sim and it was a no go.
Selling price is $99!

Price is definitely $99, however, you must pay for at least one month of service before they'll let you walk out the door. I opted for the $30 plan, so total out the door price was $137 and change.
Hope it gets its own subforum. I put in a request in the forum request thread but no reply yet. I bought one, it's a pretty good phone for the price. No root yet but people on a couple of different forums are working on it.

My bad, there are a couple places around where people are asking about root but this one seems to be the main place people are working on it so far: http://androidforums.com/forums/root-zte-zmax-pro.3441/
I got mine for 69.00 plus tax.39.00 if you port in; I used a text now number, and 30 for service. This was at an authorized dealer, that tried to argue a bit buy I advised that I called main number and they said 39.00 after port in and I was given that. So ymmv

SO you paid a total of $138? Is it metropcs? I think they bamboozled you into thinking you are not paying the $99 for the phone. Because I paid a total of $122 on mine $99 instant rebate for the phone and tax and activation coz I'm a metro user.
Anyway. I am boggled ZTE people are not advertising this as a VR killing machine for serious. Really boggled. Poor PR people you have there ZTE I would advice ZTE people to hire me as their PR for this awesome phone. LOL. Not kidding! I loooooove this phone! my fave by far!!! I ditched my less than month old samsung on5 for this!!! that is saying SOMETHING!!.
So anyone who wants to buy a samsung on5 with case. BOTH slightly used. Just holla at me.
