Can anyone tell me about how does these korean phones work? Like, I mean obviously no one offers warranty on them. How are they so cheap and what about resale value?

they are been imported from Korean and thus being only kit and used, and a imported piece the prices are very low and due to people disrespecting Koreans, there market is stable their otherwise it would have risen up. nothing different from the international versions, yes resale is abit affected.

guyz while buying these sets from the market
kya kya check karna chaiye
Everything...... but following things strictly:

1. Appearance / feel of set . I have seen too many refurbished sets in market at hall road and hafiz centre, mainly LG lu6200 and LG f180 (Like all other sony htc refurbs) - LU6200 has dull chrome which is repainted and pathetic shape, does not have shine of chrome. Many F180s are coming in marketing with stickers all around the set and sometimes their casing is changed.. so watch out for such things.
2. Some sets have signal and wifi issue. It might be due to corrupt IMEI or partitions got f**D up due to messing with too many custom roms.. so make sure you get good and continuous signals.. no disconnect.. you need 7-8 hours to be sure it is OK in terms of network signals.
3. General things, Bluetooth, sensors, calling, vibration, sound, screen / touch etc.

P.S. Even if you know many things.... still you have a chance of getting a faulty set.. so LUCK also counts here.. Make sure you get atleast 24 hours replacement warranty from shopkeeper.

I have checked and it supports Urdu language in sms. You might need to change rom. to check which rom is installed Go to:
Settings >>>About Phone >>> Software information...... The last line shows which rom is installed.

Read the Korean S3 section.

I used to have the SHV-E210L s3. It was crap. No custom roms at all.

There's a way to root it and remove KNOX though, check the OP.

I am interested in buying LG Optimus G Pro from the market. The problem is that there are so many versions out there that I am now confused. What version should I buy and what things should I need to check before buying the phone? What software modifications will be needed for it to work?

There'll be a million disadvantages especially if you buy the L version.

Stick to an international Note 3.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
