I am about to buy an Galaxy Note from Australia which will be the Global GSM version.
I was wanting to buy a few accessories from Korea since it would be cheaper and I would have a bit more to choose from.
But since the hardware on the Korean version(LTE + Snapdragon) and the Global version(GSM + exynos) is a bit different, was wondering if something like a battery would still be the same so I can use it in my Global version.
Also, could someone please let me know if the dimensions are the same?
(for cases, screen protectors etc?)
Yes, the battery dimensions are the same. All the GNote's batteries are the same and all are 2500mAh. As for the dimensions, I am not exactly sure. I am guessing since Note LTE has the same specs as the Canadian and U.S Notes, it would be .35mm thicker than the N7000, so it would be a hair off, the case would work.

So I just purchased the T-Mobile variant of the Samsung Galaxy S2. However there seems to be little to no cases available for it.
Does anyone know how physically different these versions are?
The case I'm looking at says it will fit the international and Canadian versions but not the Sprint version. (It doesn't say anything about the T-Mobile one).
The case is the Case Mate Galaxy S2 Pop! I'd post a link but can't just yet.
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!

The case on the international version will not fit the T-Mobile version. Our phone is slightly larger, wider. Also the camera and led on our phone has an up and down design, the international and at&t version has a side by side design for the camera and led. You will have to get a T-Mobile specific case!

Dunno where you're looking but I have found almost all the cases that there were for the Sensation on ebay already.......
search eBay "t989 case"
Thanks guys!
I'm looking for a few specific brands I've used in the past.... specifically Case-Mate and Otterbox. However neither have a T-Mobile version yet that I can find.
size wise they are different the Tmo version is bigger / wider
some accessories wont fit

I have not seen the seller selling the original battery for the Int'l version of the Note (N7000), however there are some that sell original battery for the AT&T version. However, they noted that the AT&T version is not compatible with the Int'l version.
I am thinking that the AT&T version can be used for the Int'l version, so I emailed on of the seller and their response is:
Both the international Note and the US version of the Note are constructed a
bit differently. The battery for the international version is different
than the battery for the US version. Not sure if it is to accommodate the
voltage difference of the wall chargers but I hear from the customers that
the batteries are different and not interchangable. The Note battery we
sell is for the U.S. ATT Note SGH-i717 only and will not work on the Samsung
Note N7000.
So it seems that there is an issue with charging the battery, judging by what this seller's customer reported? Can anyone provide insight on this?
My goal is to buy ORIGINAL Samsung battery, so I don't have to deal with quality or incompatibility issue and ended up damaging my Int'l Note, which have NO Samsung US warranty. If the AT&T version can be used in my Int'l version, I can buy one from an AT&T store!
NOTE: I used to have a Nokia phone a while back and I use 3rd party battery (non Nokia battery) and it damaged my phone, so I don't want to go through the same thing again.
I use both with no problems!

Think about it this way:
Compatible means physical size, shape, electrical contacts, and voltage and charging are the same.
What you are worried about is crappy chemistry, poor quality of manufacturing, or other poor design. Which is not an issue with any OEM battery.
Go to ATT store, pull the battery, read the ratings and compare their size and shape. If they match, you are golden.

I did order one of the AT&T Note batteries for my N7000 international Note. Both batteries look identical. After several charges with the new battery, it doesn't seem to function any differently either.
So if you want a second battery, proceed with one for the AT&T Note.
Best is to check part numbers if present.
One thing I know is that in the I777, I9100 batteries wouldn't work - the I777 specifically checked the ID resistor (the pin between + and -) for a value that was different from I9100 batteries - but with the I777, NFC was in the battery.
In the I717, NFC is in the battery door instead of the battery.
Is there any hardware difference between Note 4 variants?
I broke my screen and bent the housing. On ebay, there is a replacement part for Sprint Note 4 (N910P) and the seller says that it will not work for other variants.
Can anyone confirm this?
This won't fully answer your question, but I know for a fact that the Verizon version has the microphones in different places than the ATT and T-Mobile versions. I know because while buying a case, I kept seeing Verizon users rating the case's as 1 star because the case was covering the microphone. ATT and Tmobile users were giving high ratings and saying that the case fit perfectly and didn't cover the microphone.
So my point is that yes, there are some differences, but it depends on the varients. Some varients are the same in some areas, but different in others, while some varients are 100% same. I just don't know how the Sprint version compares to the ATT version though.

Hi, I bought a Galaxy Note 2 from S. Korea in my visit but now I am back in my country and having problems with my battery. So naturally, I thought how can I replace my battery. However, when I take a quick look on the google I realized international version of battery and Korean version of battery have different code names as;
Int : EB595675LA
Kor : EB595675LK
and I am wondering is there anyone tried the international battery on Korean SHV-E250* phones? Is it compatible ? Otherwise, I would have to pay 4 times to order from S. Korea.
Thanks
They look the same and same volts so most likely they are 100% the same just different model numbers.
are also the Amp's the same?
I know the S22 variant made for the US market does not have an unlockable bootloader. But is it possible to buy a rootable S22 that will work with a Verizon SIM? Order it from overseas maybe?
yeah you can get a Korean 908N version on eBay with a very reasonable price. I got mine several days ago.

Awesome, thanks. I wasn't sure which country to look for. I prefer a pocket-sized phone and it looks like SM-SS901N is the small one and it's readily available.
I'm still running SABS on my old S9 (installed before Samsung killed it) and I was afraid I'd have to switch to a Pixel to get root, but the smallest Pixel 6 is bigger than I want. The small S22 from South Korea seems like a perfect choice.

No problem at all. I always got the Korean Variant instead of US one. Works for me all the time. I just didn't understand why they didn't provide an option of unlockinh BL on US variant. I feel like it's not even necessary.
are you looking for exynos or snapdragon? there is a large performance and compatability difference. Hong Kong and Singapore are where I got my last two phones from, bootloader unlockable snapdragons.
I'd have to say Snapdragon, which is also the South Korea variant (I'm guessing this is why it's popular for US buyers). Would there be any reason to consider an Exynos for use in the US? According to the reviews I've read, performance & battery life on the Exynos vary between meh and unusably awful.

Hello, may I ask what carrier you're using this with in the US? On Ebay, it says that it doesn't work with Verizon (due to CDMA).
I'm aware that Verizon does a little bit more than CDMA these days, but their base is still CDMA from what I understand. Thanks in advance.
