[Q] My Note 2 is made in China. I've seen other ones made in Korea. Any disadvantage? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello,
I just purchased a genuine Galaxy Note 2 (At&t version). I noticed that my phone is made in China, mos of the Notes 2 that I've seen are made in Korea. Is it common to have a genuine chinese Note 2? Any differences?
Thanks

All the Note 2's sold by AT&T, T-Mobile. Sprint, in the United States, are are Made in China
Verizon's Note 2 is Made in Korea
Shouldn't be any disadvantages; unless you want to discuss in respect to carrier differences.
I always thought Made in Korea was always best, not necessarily. Head over to Verizon's Note 2 forums and you can see that many are finding display issues.

Note 2 Made in Korea?

Where is the Note 2 built? My Note 1 says China. I ask this because when I was with Sprint the Nexus S was 100% Korean.
China!

My Rogers Note II is made in China.

my international note2 n7100 Made in Korea
My Telus Note 2 is made in China too.
Whats the point?
Seriously, when you sell 3 million units in 37days, it's not where they are manufactured, but how much production capacity can be tapped. I've not doubt that the Note II is being built in multiple facilities across both Korea and China. Other locations are likely as well. I am still wondering why it matters.
Per comments from other forums, first batch of high end models likely to be made in Korea and other factories will follow afterward. My N7100 is MIK.

[Q] Galaxy note 3 Unlocked (N900, N9000 or LTE N9005) Which to purchase

Greetings all,
I am thinking of upgrading and replacing my GS3 with an unlocked Galaxy Note 3 from a third party dealer. I am in Southern California and a T-Mobile customer. Apparently there are several versions, the N900, N9000 and the LTE N9005. I am not sure which one I should purchase. My intention in getting an unlocked phone is so that in the future I can switch carriers easily if I choose. This is not something I expect to do any time soon, but it would be nice to have the option. Obviously, I also want the best performance. Any info would be appreciated.
Thank You,
--Jim

hardware differences

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.

Post your Note 7 model to identify the faulty models.

Samsung rep. mentioned : "China is not affected by the sales suspension." The company said it used a battery made by another supplier for the Note 7s sold in China.
I bought this model "SM-N930FD" from Hong Kong, I'm not sure if this is imported from another country as it's not officially sold in HK yet.
Can anyone confirm if this model is safe or not? Also would be great to know the Chinese models.
Mine is SM-N930FD bought from Dubai

Mine was bought in the US but made in China. Wonder if it will be part of the recall or not.
Canadian purchase (SD model) made in China.
why? Let Samsung complete their investigations.
I think "made in China" doesn't mean it's a Chinese model. Also FD model supports dual sim, not sure about the other models.
According to Samsung (through Yonhap: famous Korean source), they were relying on 2 battery suppliers. 1 supplier was the reason of this mess, Samsung didn't mention the name of the supplier but they said the battery is manufactured using a material that cause excessive heat when being charged. Chinese models were manufactured using the other supplier were no issues has been reported by users or Samsung. Also the company said sales wouldn't be interrupted in China.
The purpose of knowing the fine models is to avoid scams by sellers, I'm pretty sure there will be large drop on the prices of the faulty models.

FD model Singapore variant as well. Requesting exchange from eBay seller as well. We will see. Not that concerned about it. Hopefully they release a list of serial numbers affected.

I have a UK N930F made in Vietnam, it's actually stone cold in comparison to my S6 it replaced.
I'm not worried about it, but if I can get a new replacement that is guaranteed not to have the problem I will take it just for peace of mind.

So manufactured in South Korea is probably a bad sign then?

I know, from what I heard even Samsung doesn't know, which is why they are recalling them all.

it's probably easier at this point and gives more user confidence rather than picking and choosing out of the millions in the wild.
Would be great if the ones made in China are exempt

Changing regions of my Note 10+

Hello, I would like to ask if anyone has any way to change the region of my Note 10+.
I got my refurbished Note 10+ (N975U1) some time ago online and I found that Samsung Pay is showing US ads and deal as such.
I currently am living in Malaysia and know that the version common around here is the Exynos version (N975F).
Would appreciate feedback or tips given, Thanks.
