Hello,
my dad is thinking about buying note 3 n9006 variant, n9005 is also an option, but price difference in our contry is huge. About 150€+ between these models. From specs I can see that only difference is internal memory, and it's ridiculous to pay that much just for extra 16GB. So I'm wondering is there any other major differences between these two models? For ex. camera quality, display quality, and overall quality of the phone.
Any input would be appreciated.
9006 China dual sim .
9005 International version .

Samsung SM N9006 is not only dual sim , I have this phone and is the single SIM variant,difference between the two phones is the model 9006 comes without the Play Store installed.
Thanks for replys. After reading whole thread @JJEgan pointed me to, we went to check our local seller that had the phone, and after checking it, I'm pretty sure it was one hell of a good clone, so we've given up on buying it.

In my country, no. Official samsungs resellers do not have Note 3 in stock and will not getting any of it. In some other stores there's a used ones, and "new" ones which appears to be clones.
If the screen was Super Amoled, which is not hard to check, then it wasn't a clone...

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 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....
I have the Note 3 but it's the HK 16gb variant. This has been an absolute pain in the donkey at times. The only RoM I really have working guaranteed is Miui, which is great, but ... Anyway, I will not want to fall for the same mistake twice.
I live in China too - and for some reason (probably the bands used) I have never got 4G to work on my Phone. I am pretty sure I don't want to get stuck with a model number from mainland china though, as I cannot read Chinese websites to root and get decent roms and Gapps etc. Really wish Google would stop getting banned in China.
Need it to work when travelling to the States and other countries too.
Any decent advise would be appreciated.
Cheers.
You should go for the international model (N910S)

The Note 4 just released in HK 2 days ago, and it's the Exynos version with 32GB storage.
Maybe you can still consider that...

I have gone with the Chinese variant N9108v and am so far happy.
Cheers,
One of my Co-workers who visits China a lot came back with a new dual sim note 4.
That was the first thing than made me think fake, then I noticed it had no gapps at all... Not play store no gmail etc.
I took some screenshots of the about screens... Even the model number looks wrong (9100)
He swears black and blue that he bought it from an official Samsung shop... But I'm suspect of it.
Why would you post screens of your coworkers device that include the serial and imei numbers?

whoops. good point, will fix and re-upload.
device is fake for sure!
actually as it turns out its real...
It appears to be a "Chinese Gov Sanctioned" version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55939390&postcount=15
Its missing Knox (yay) only comes in 16gb (boo) and has no G-Apps stuff in it (wtf?!)
Yeah, I believe a lot of phones sold in China don't have GApps.
As an example, the Chinese version of the OnePlus One also doesn't have gapps preinstalled.
It's real. All Android phones sold in China don't have gapps, and 9100 is the Chinese version of note 4 with dual sim cards. Dual sim cards is a really common thing in China. (I'm Chinese btw)
How much... I'm in Thailand would it work here and the USA. Can you just download the play store. If much cheaper what disadvantages would there be?
Hallo.
Just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 from an e-Bay trader. I think the dealer has a Chinese seat but the phone was shipped from England.
Please have a look at the photos. I also have a box of the original Polish version. It is in both cases the Exynos variant: SM-N910C.
The boxes are slightly different in the color of the printing: Polish ink is slightly darker than the new variant. On the back side of the package the dubious box has "WiFi Certified" instead of "HD Voice", which is labeled on the Polish box. Everything else is equal.
If the device is nominally a SM-N910C model, however it is sold for the Arabic market, can I assume that this device still is technically strictly equivalent to the variant for the European market never the less? Could it be that different or inferior components are used for different Markets? Does Samsung use different tolerances for different markets? Or is the device absolutely identical to the European variant?
Is there a way to check whether this device is an original Samsung Note 4 without opening the box?
Thanks for the hints!
You could watch a youtube video over the fake differences with the clones.
Just boot into download mood
take a look here,and fill out the IMEI nr

In which country is the Note 4 being produced? I know that the Polish Variant of the Model SM-N910C is produced in Vietnam. My Model is produced in China however. So is it a fake or is the Note 4 being produced in both countries? How does the SM-N910C from Vietnam differ from the SM-N910C from China? Are they technicaly identical? Is one country better" than the other? Are there different parts and tolerances being used?
Note 4's are being produced in vietnam and china....The ones being produced in china are not fake (in my country we get 910c which is made in china under official warranty). You can download an app called "phoneinfo" from playstore it will tell you whether you have a genuine samsung phone or not. The 910C being made in china and Vietnam are identical and have no difference.....no quality preference i have seen many phones from both countries. However this is my personal opinion and experience, a senior member may guide futhur on "different parts and tolerances" being used.
Dont worry about the box. In my country some people import brand new phones and ask the sellers to send phone and accessories only. They do this to avoid custom duty (which is levied on new phones only) so they pose as if they are importing a used phone. Then the use a locally made clone box to sell the phone.....the phone itself and the accessories are mostly original.
If the s-pen works while hovering above the screen then it's a real note 4.
If you turn it on, you will see right away the on the screen.
Replicas will never have SAMOLEDs and you will see right away the difference in colors and they are so obvious.
The Polish C-version, which is manufactured in Vietnam and no doubt original, has an internal memory of 24,65GB (according to Kies and Windows). The new Arabic C-version, which has been manufactured in China, has an internal memory of 24,57GB (again, according to Kies and Windows). Could this be a sign for a fake phone or are such minor differences and fluctuations normal and due to the manufactoring process?
CPU Z and Phone Info show absolutely identical hardware, only the internal memory is slightly smaller in the China-manufactured device. The China-version is slightly faster in the Antutu and Geekbench benchmarks however. So, can I now finally and definitly be SURE that the nev, China-made Note 4 is an original, genuine Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C and is definitly NOT a fake ?
Hmm .. Could all you Note 4 owners write here which version you have, where it was manufactured and how big the internal memory is.
Many many thanks!
P.s.: Where is the N910F (Snapdragon-Version) being produced?

Yes, just instal free "Phone Info" from play store, we'll know it fake or not.
FYI: It's definitly original.. Best way to find out is the Antutu Officer..
Other possibility:
- (Samsung) Phone Info
- CPU-Z
- KIES
