S4 (Korean Clone) is around 20-22k.
S3 (Korean Clone) is 15-18k.

Not sure about Note II.

I checked these market prices in RWP two weeks ago.

Korean and clones are different things, korean sets are original sets with slightly different specs according to their market.Clones are high quality chinese copies.

Some people are repeatedly mistaking the Korean models to be the same as Clones, Replicas or China Maal.

Koren models of these S3/S4 etc are the same thing as T-Mobile or AT&T variant models, with different model number than the original.

They go for almost the same price as Original, and in some cases roughly 2-3k cheaper ... or even expensive.

The cheaper variants are Clones & Replicas. They can be easily distinguished from their build, and mostly will have mediaTek processors.

On the Other Hand, Shopkeepers are taking advantage of this situation by selling high end Chinese android replicas of famous sets like S3/S4 & fooling peoples that they are Korean variants. People who don't know much about tech may get fooled by those shopkeepers. Buying Refurbish sets are another mistake a noob can do. It happened with one of my relative. He bought Nexus S for 18k, while the market price was 15k. Shopkeeper told him that its brand new set. After 6 month Now its DEAD :crying:

[MENTION=20871]Radz[/MENTION]! Don't you think its the job of the person buying the product, to search and gain some info before going to the market?

Would you marry a girl without ever seeing a picture (at least)?
Would you jump down in a river or pool without knowing its depth?
Heck would you ever leave your house without choose your route or finalizing your destination?

So why is that people don't do market survey before buying the product? Or atleast analyzing the available products which can be bought in their price range.

Anyway, i am sure you get the point.

People who are looking for such handsets should search on the internet as the information regarding both Korean as well as Clones can be found on the internet.

@abobobilly

Every person don't have tech knowledge & read reviews before buying gadgets, its new generation who checks tech specification like processor & ram, what about old peoples aged between 50-60 who don't know whats the difference between MTK & Snapdragon Chipset? Even if they managed to read reviews Trust is the another factor, Shopkeepers can simply lie about and sell set as Brand NEW while its actually refurbish. I have seen, Sets being repacked, Warranty being faked/bought. I am talking about used sets market here. Brand new sets with full warranty is different story. Its safe to buy brand new in most cases

P.S: Marrying a girl and buying a mobile are 2 different things, we don't change the girl every other day just like mobile :p

Why people are mixing clones and china replica phone with original phones
Korean samsung and lg phones carries different model from international version.
Clones are having same model no as international phones.
Korean phones are not related to this ..
And they are sold for the same price as international model phones ..

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
