Dont think anyone has a clue yet. In Oman, trying to get some bloody info from whatever source I can. The local vendors have no clue either. Is the S800 (n9005) version available in Dubai? (market or online)
Samsung have done a 'Nexus 4 launch style cluster****' on this one.
Does truly nobody know that Samsung has been putting Region Locks in their firmware for months? I assumed it was fairly common knowledge.
i just played with note 3 in Jumbo Electronics, i couldn't see anything written on box like European version.

No - my Note 2 has no region locks and judging by the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457964 this is news to most people.

The people on SamMobile know about it. The S4 has it too. It's nothing new. No, your note 2 doesn't have it, yet. Because it hasn't been updated.

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.

SM-N9002 version is the version of Note 3 that is with two sim, right? ... why you say note 3 dual sim doesn't exist? Or i just missunderstood

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

Fake for sure.
Return it or get a refund, do a PayPal claim.
You should also post the link to the auction to raise awareness.

I found a video on youtube (FAKE Samsung Galaxy S5 Unboxing Replica!) with same back box.....it is a replica.....thanks guys for your help.....I proceed to return the phone
The model number shown on the webpage of the retailer is SM-G935FTKDXSG. Will this phone work in India with respect to making calls and also LTE bands for 4G? How do I find out if its unlocked or not? Will VoLTE, Samsung pay work in India? Also, for warranty, is there some way to get Indian warranty?

This phone will work in India with respect to making calls and LTE connection. But VoLTE will not work. Not sure about Samsung Pay because I don't use it.
Also, nothing can be done about the warranty.
BTW I use an S7 edge bought from Dubai in India

Thanks for the reply! Where did you get the phone from, and for what price? Where would you recommend I but it from? Also, are you aware of any other features being different between this phone from dubai and the one in India? Have you faced any problems with the phone till now? And, does the phone have warranty inside UAE or not?
Thanks for the help!

I got the phone from the website souq.com for a pretty low price compared to the market price. Most shops in Dubai usually just increase the price for no reason.
My phone also came with one year warranty (Only in UAE).
My phone is almost 6 months old and I've had no problems at all with the phone. Really happy with it.
Yes you can use it with voLTE and SPay. Just flash Indian firmware on the firmware and you're good to go.

No, there is not a difference. I think it's around 1800 there and for that money it's so value for money. Nothing gets better than this phone at that price. Myself using a UAE phone. Get this model 935FD dual sim version.
And, don't get from souq. Not heard good opinion about them from people who live there.

I'm not in the UAE myself, so will have to ask someone to get it for me. Could you please tell me where to buy it from? souq.com shows price as 1900 AED for 128gb version. Where do I ask my friend to buy it from? And model number is 935FD or SM-G935FTKDXSG? Thanks man!

Hey check this phone out from souq.com:
https://uae.souq.com/ae-en/samsung-...-128gb-4gb-ram-4g-lte-black-pearl-12075981/i/
It comes with a one year official Samsung gulf warranty.
When I got my phone 6 months ago I paid 2000dhs. And I've had no problems at all with my device.

I bought my Nexus 5 from there and used it for 4 years without any issues. Then I bought my S7 edge from there 6 months ago and it has no issues.
My brother bought his LG G3 from there and used it for 4 years without any issues. He bought his LG G5 recently (around the same time I got my S7 edge) and he has no issues with his device whatsoever.
All these devices from souq.com
The site is good as long as you buy from a good dealer. Since anyone can setup a shop on the site, there might be some people trying to sell bad stuff. Just buy from the trusted dealers and you'll be fine.
I don't think Samsung issues international warranty. My home appliances are Samsung branded which doesn't have and one more using the firmware of UAE Volte will definitely not work unless you flash indian package on your mobile that's why I said no.

Hey are you 100% sure that we can flash Indian firmware on a Dubai model using ODIN?
I am on some custom ROM on my dubai phone but I really want to shift to the latest OREO INS Stock via ODIN. So that I have everything working smoothly including jio VOLTE. Please let me know if you have tried and tested this as I don't want to brick my phone
Also do I have to tick anything special on ODIN? I've been reading about people saying to tick re partition if coming from Dubai model?

Just make sure you buy the international variant applicable to any model of Samsung. Experience wise I usually buy my phone from Sohar, Oman and use it in Manila and didn't encounter any issues whatsoever.

Hi there..
I have some inquiry regarding this phone model.
Are the hardware actually different from these 3 model?
Different market come come with Samsung pay. Some are not.
Mine is SM-J730G, without Samsung Pay. But I saw this line "com.sec.feature.support_mst" in AIDA64. What is that for?
Can someone shed some light?
