Made by Vietnam Samsung phone is original or no?

I have a phone Galaxy Note 3 (made by Vietnam)

Samsung has a big manufacturer in Vietnam, and there are many Samsung products, including the Galaxy Note 3, which is made in Vietnam. These products are all original. However, if you're worried you may have a clone, there are a number of ways to determine whether your Samsung Note 3 is genuine or fake.

The first thing is the physical shape of your device in comparison to another Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Often on a fake Galaxy Note 3, there are gaps between power, volume, and home buttons. The screen of a fake Note3 will also usually not be as bright as an original one, and of course, any cloned Samsung Note3 will be made of cheap and lower quality materials.

That said, the best way to find out if your phone is genuine or not, is to use Samsung Kies. If you haven't used the Samsung Kies program previously, follow these steps to download and install Kies on your PC:

Made by Samsung design by the UK and made in Vietnam or made in Korea differences?

I want to buy a Galaxy S7 of giant "Germanos" shops but I encountered a problem behind the phone does not say made in Korea and Vietnam, made in than Made by design by Samsung UK has two years warranty issues they told me that all original but I am mistaken why does the factory who produced the phone and gave the same characteristics with those from Korea and Vietnam

That just means that the phone is specified to be sold in the UK like Samsung USA or Samsung Canada. Check the specs against the specs listed on Samsung UK for the Galaxy S7. Keep in mind that shops like the one you are buying the phone from often sell reconditioned phones rendering most IMEI number checks useless because software parts were replaced beyond the original factory.

Samsung Galaxy 8+, how to know or determine the fake or original?

I bought Samsung Galaxy 8+ made in Vietnam but I think it is fake because the RAM is only 4gb and the internal memory is 16GB. Please tell me how to know the originality. The one discussed in the article is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 but mine is Samsung Galaxy 8+. I have tried: I tried comparing it another maker like the one made in Korea and I discovered some slight difference so I want to know how to determine the original. I think it was caused by: I really do not know the cause that is why I want your help

If there are slight differences it is usually done by a large cell phone carrier. For instance, Verizon will have features on their devices that Sprint does not. It is how they compete for service contracts.

My friend have bought a Samsung Galaxy Note3 in Saudi Arabia at 0 from a street boy considering it to be a set stolen from port?

The IMEI number behind the battery and the one in software are different. Sticker beneath battery says Made in Vietnam by Samsung.

The phone may be a reconditioned one where a separate factory other than Samsung replaced internal software components. Then again you did buy it off a kid as suspect it is stolen goods so when the purchase was made you were 50/50 already on whether it was a knockoff clone or not. If the device works, then be happy and not so worried if it is a clone.

Hello I bought a cloned phone from Gumtree and unfortunately the seller doesn't answer his phone anymore and the website that I bought from, they can't do anything about it so what can I do with the phone?

I bought a cloned phone from Gumtree and unfortunately, the seller will not answer his phone anymore and the website that I bought from, they can't do anything about it so what can I do with the phone

Since you paid for the phone, you may as well use it. The Chinese cloned phones are not the worst phones in the world and you can at least use it while you save up to buy a genuine phone. In the future, avoid buying phones on sites like Gumtree unless you can test the phone with Samsung codes before you purchase the phone.

I couldn't test a hardware and software testing for my phone?

I couldn't test my speaker test for my Galaxy S6 Edge phone. It is not working

The Galaxy S6 Edge has had bugs with call volume. Check to make sure that the speaker is not clogged with dust or debris and if it is, use a few shots of compressed air to clean it. If the speakers still do not work then perform a hard reset. Beyond that, you will have to try to return the phone under warranty.

My phone doesn't give any response to *#07#?

My phone is Samsung Ace (Bought in Feb 2012). The settings show model as GT-S5830i. Android version 2.3.6, the RAM shows only 290 MB total space, Kind of runs slow when too many apps are opened at once and even hangs sometimes on its own. Is it possibly a fake device?

Not if all the other codes work. Some codes are for devices that have the specs for those codes and yours may not.

Hi I need to buy a cellphone online from a seller kindly guide?

I am worried that will I get original or cloned mobile I don't know so I am worried, payment has to be done in advance what should I do

First, check the reviews from that particular online dealer. Second, ask for a screenshot of the specs if you see reviews that are shady. Third, avoid buying phones online from unauthorized dealers if you expect a real Samsung phone.

I have a GT I9190, help me know its source?

The GT i9190 is a clone of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini so if you were trying to buy a true S4 then your phone is fake. It is a Chinese manufactured fake phone.
