AoA,

Hi friends, i have been searching on different webs for details but want to ask my brothers 2 I know you guys are very helpful, i am going to buy an android cellphone soon ... my budget is around 15k for now, there are a lot of options for me like Q mobile Huawei, used Sky 830, Used Sony Xperia, and now i came across with this Samsung Galaxy S4 Korean Version that is available only in 12-15k, looking at its specs its a beast but why so cheap ?? :wacko: I want to know whats the difference between Samsung Korean and International versions. Is there a performance difference ? or what ?

Is it worth buying? or any of Samsung Korean mobiles like, SII, SIII, cause these are also available in my budget.

and how about Sky 830, 2 of my friends have bought this set from Hall road, and they are more than happy with it. But i want to buy a reliable brand like Samsung or Sony I don't know about Qmobiles so if any one can give me a detailed guide on all these aspects i will highly be obliged.

My requirements are : Good battery timing, HD camera, and for playing 3d Games.

:fp2: Another China Copy vs. Korean fiasco

Aray bhai S4 Korean version original S4 se itna different nahin hay. Which means its nearly equally priced to the original S4.

What you are getting in that price is a China Copy and should be treated as such. Shopkeepers have a habit to lie.

Korea se bhi "china copies" aa sakti hain brother. And Korea se Original S4 bhi aa sakta hay, but its likely to have a telecom logo on the back.

I am hardly an expert or knowledgeable when it comes to china clones of smartphones. Thats because the market is heavily infested with them.

From what i gather, there are different level of Copies they make. Like A+ or B Class etc. Usually the A+ copy looks exactly the same as the Original, but with internal chipset or memory being very different (they usually use Mediatek chipsets and Internal memory is limited to either 4 or 8GB ... mostly)

Then there are B Class copies which can be identified from their build quality. For example the Original S4 has very thin bezels, but the copy will look like a QMobile having thicker bezels ... and the phone will feel bulky. Rest of the internals remains vastly the same.

There are even worse copies available.

So you see, its not easy to check for Clones Market. Atleast i can't do it.

I was able to find a couple of websites which listed these Clones briefly. You may try Google if you are interested.

So what about others brands ? What about SKY 830? and Samsung SII Korean?
