Good Morning everyone,
I have just got the S5 - 900F model which I love but i also have just got my Australian visa so am moving to australia in the new year, will the 900F work in australia with an australian SIM?
Also does anybody find the S5 camera "Noisy" in indoor light? ie with a light on indoors it seems grainy (Noisy)
900F is international model.. It should work any where in the world !
But it should be GSM not CDMA. Which nearly most of the world use.
For the camera, im not into cameras a lot. I think once you take the picture it should be good, but the noise might be from too many pixel/detail.. Try reducing it to below 16 MP ?

Since there are a lot of talk about atnts release, I thought I might bring this up.

Featuring a comparison of the Korean LTE model (Black) and and International Model (White).
There are two videos:
1. Boot time comparison
2. Video comparison
I'll do a rough translation of the text. My Korean isn't that great so don't expect perfection..

[Galaxy Note] Galaxy note 3g(international) vs Galaxy note LTE(Korea) comparison (thickness and normal functions)
[insert pictures of the two notes]
Hi this is Mickey. Today we're going to compare the Galaxy note 3g and the Galaxy note LTE. On the left is the white international model, and the right is the Korean LTE model.
[insert picture of the two notes with specs]
3G model: Exynos 4210, FM radio, ???, 3G, warranty not available in korea
LTE model: Snapdragon APQ, DMB, ???, 4G LTE and 3G compatible, warranty available in Korea
Let's take a look at the difference in specs first. The 3g model sports an exynos 1.4GHz, the LTE model has a snapdragon 1.5GHz. There isn't really much of a difference in speed in normal use. Very rarely there is a difference in S Memo.
Galaxy note 3g mode --- blah blah --- * this talks about the phone plans. 3g mode doesn't need a contract -- blah blah
[insert another picture]
3g model has Fm radio while LTE model has DMB. The 3g model has a video maker application. I don't really see a big use for this.
[insert boot comparison video]
Galaxy note 3g and LTE boot speed comparison. Booting is roughly the same, wish a very small difference. The 3g version has a lot of apps installed due to development work, while the LTE is out of the box. You can say that the 3g model boots up just a little faster.
[insert croc picture]
Checking responsiveness of stylus between the models. I failed to prepare the video for this. The 3g model felt faster right out of the box, but after all of the apps on the 3g model (development stuff), the LTE model out of the box seems faster. As you can also see in the picture, the color contrast seems different.
[insert thickness picture]
Comparing thickness, the LTE model looks a little bigger due to DMB.
[Insert video comparison]
Playing a 1080p SNSD music video. Playing works well on both, and so does the playing progress bar.
[insert back picture, stylus picture]
Just talks about pen color --blah blah--
So we saw the difference between both phones. There's definitely pros and cons for one or the other. You can't say one's better than the other. Hope this helps choosing the right phone for you.
This is consistent with this English review of the Korean LTE Note:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd9Pa8jZYW0&context=C37f0d84ADOEgsToPDskJCqhTX3QBpAn2vXlpGm_Ll
There have been lots of reports of dissatisfaction with the Korean Note, but the few reviews I've seen by actual users have been positive. I'm reassured that battery life and responsiveness are not an issue some people claimed they would be.
Hello,
I am aware of the hardware differences between the two models. Fortunately, both are available in my country and I can take my pick. From what I gathered there is absolutely no reason to buy the N900 when the N9005 is available, or am I missing something? Would anyone buy a N900 if they could get the N9005 just as easily?
Thanks,
I had the option to pick either, obviously I picked the N9005 as you should too as you've seen the hardware differences aha.
The only difference that I am aware of is that the N9005 is 4G LTE, whereas the N9000 is not.
I don't have 4G on my current plan at the moment but will be getting it in February.
Exactly, my country doesn't support 4G so that's why. I'll be receiving my N9005 today. The 4K video recording and sd800 are worth the extra 50 bucks. Thanks!
imo really hard to choice. yes 4k recording and snapdragon performance is a huge advantage over 900 one but that sound quality think makes me think again. i dont have 4k display device, my computer monitors are all 1080p like the note3 so i have no chance to watch the 4k videos that a shoot but i will see the sound quality advantage of n900 while listening to music.
im from Israel (Europe) and i need to ask some question ..
i want to buy the I9505 and i dont know if the I9500 is better?
in israel the I9505 is cheaper than I9500. so who is better ?
what i need on my phone is good camera and good battery. im not playing games,only whatsapp, instagram , facebook , listen music and take quality pictures..
in israel the i9505 worth 2370 shakel(NIS) and I9500 worth 2490 .. is it worth to add the 120 shakel to get the I9500 ?
i have now HTC ONE and i didnt like it beacuse of the battery and the camera ! so i want to change it !
I9500 :
- Apparently a Slightly better camera sensor, so better pictures
- GPU does not support OpenGL 3, no issue for any games so far though
I9505 :
- Snapdragon processor, so better dev support, more custom ROM's etc. if you plan to root
- Better GPU than I9500
Battery backup is almost the same on both versions.
Im not plan to change rom
i want the orignal rom
Noticeable difference between cameras? Or both high quality

Have a look at the below thread:

no camera differences....
Really no camera differences to be honest.Indeed the i9500 has a newer model of Camera Sensor but that doesnt mean anything.It's also the camera firmware for the process of the image and if i am right isnt so good on i9500.I vote for the i9505
Hi there,
As the Camera2 API isn't in the last release of lollipop for the note for (I own the F - European version of it), I was wondering if it was possible to allow Raw (DNG) shooting with a custom ROM or anything else... What do you think ?
Thanks !

I think that no at this moment ......I have N910F too, I swapped from N910C before a 2 days but I am very disapointed with camera on F version. There is a too much noise ....photos from C version are sharper.
I sell my Exynos variant due to CM12 possibility on SnapDragon.
AFAIK the n910f and the n910c share exactly the same sensor. So there shouldn't be any difference. Right on your camera's glass Samsung usually put a little piece of flake which you might want to peel off. Maybe that's what makes your shots blurry. Other than that, it might be software settings (or post-processing in case you are on a different version). But the shots should be identical. Cheer on, at least the Snap805 is the better chipset. This big.LITTLE farce is a joke and on the development side you know Samsung will hold their source codes for months before making them publicly available. I have the n910c and it's not that great.
who has the brightcell sensor , the us or the inter. galaxy s7 ?
is-it best than imx 260 ?
the us or the inter. galaxy s7 ?
The camera sensor is a crap shoot. I'm in Australia, my Edge has the Samsung sensor, my mother's S7 has the Sony, both made in Vietnam.
I have the Samsung ISOCELL (brightcell is incorrect) on the international model, it's like Genebaby said, it is totally random which phone get what sensor. I think they just threw all sensors in 1 bin before they assembled the phones.
Several tests have proven both sensors are equally good.
US or International Version has only SoC differences.
Camera is NOT Region specific. Just the CPU is.

Okay, so I have the SLSI_S5K2L1_FIMC_IS sensor, which is.... which one? I'm using AIDA64 to check.

That's the Samsung one.
