I think all of these are made in China , the only way you can get an original is to buy a broken phone and salvage from it or order direct from Samsung Service centers

thanks xsenman. Would Samsung send me a replace for the screen if I call or write them? These chinese LCD are good for replacement?

as long as you are willing to pay their price, samsung should/would supply spare parts in their service centers ..need to quote their part number or visit them personally ...china parts will be china parts..but will never be the original as samsung would never supply parts in this manner .
on the other-hand china parts should work too

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!

How can recognize an' original Note 3 [N9002]

Edited post

@rankoradza I dont know orignal samsung comes in dual sim

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

Any downsides to using G9006V (China version) in Europe?

Hello all,
I just bought a Galaxy S5 and did some authenticity checking on it. I expected the G900F version since I live in Europe (Romania). It seems that it is the G9006V version. I chatted with a Samsung representative and he told me based on the IMEI that this is the case. I also checked out the download mode and it said the same. Antutu gave it a score of 50483 and says it has a Qualcomm 801 chipset, so at least it seems to be genuine.
I have the option of getting a refund. My question is, do I have any reason to? Are there any downsides to the Chinese version? It does have Google Play, I've read that mentioned as missing. It also came with Android 5, or so it says in the device info screen, and cannot be upgraded to a later version. Does the European version get a newer one? Will mine be able to get updates too?
P.S. The About Device Screen / Model Number displays "SM-G900F" and under Build Number there is a section called "United Arab Emirates". When I went into an info screen in the S Health app I got a screen of text in Arabic... This is weird, does it have any bearing on the software on my phone and the possibility to upgrade it in the future?

Where did you buy it? Unfortunatly this appears to be another case of a falsely labeled G900F

I ordered it from evomag.ro, a fairly reputable local webshop. I'm not aware of the story with the falsely labeled phones, could you please fill me in? Especially regarding how it affects me as a user?

My Galaxy S10 = FAKE

About six months ago I purchased a fake 512GB Samsung Galaxy S10 plus for $800 off eBay..
I had no idea it was fake until a few days ago after watching YouTube videos on fake S10’s...
It looked soo legit when it arrived and the nice packaging...
Live and learn....
I have not been able to update the phone since I bought it...
Is it possible to update a fake Galaxy S10?
What would anyone else do if they were in my position?

So it's one of those Chinese knock offs? Is it even running Android 10 and One Ui 2?

It’s still on Android 9... SM-9750 Chinese...... I wish I could find the China man that sold me this.

SM-9750 is a real Samsung model number. It's the Hong Kong variant I want to say. How do you know it's a copy?

I downloaded a Benchmark app called: AnTuTu Benchmark .app..... It a great app and it told me my phone was fake...
Under settings my serial number is: 123456789abcd... Another sign that my sign that my phone is fake.

Hmm it's possible it might be a hacked phone meaning they hacked the crap out of Android and made everything look legit when it's not. Or it could be a copy. If it's running Samsung firmware with one UI you should be able to flash the latest Samsung firmware with Odin.

Yeah most times if serial numbers don't match like that it's fake and best way to find out is use cpu z and antutu and look into hardware info cpu has to be the qualcomm snapdragon 855 if it's the chinese version if it's like MPD or MTD something something random then yeah it's fake sometimes it will show you the real memory size it's supposed to be 8GB i can't remember fakes ones have less sometimes 1GB or something.
Sorry you got duped bro

Why not simply check samsung warranty here:-

Will tell you serial, both imei numbers etc and warranty status

The IMEI checker says the Brand is Samsung and Black List is Clean whatever that means..

If it gives you serials numbers and matching imei's regardless if single or dual sim, is real.
Blacklist means if it shows BLACKLISTED it means the previous owner has reported the phone lost or stolen for an insurance claim, or not paid rest of bill, thererfore the network provider block the imeis from operating, aka no calls, texts or data ONLY wifi can be used.
And other easy way to test is to do a software update or manually via odin, download official software.

Ok, thanks.... In the app “ AnTuTu Benchmark” .app it tells me my phone is fake...Cool little app...
Thanks for all your help..
I hope I can update this S10 to Android 10.

Sounds like it's a hacked phone more so than fake to to me. You might be able to flash the latest firmware and everything reset to normal depending on if China messed with the internal circuits or not.
