Samsung Mobiles: Made in Vietnam or Made in China

Samsung Mobiles: Made in Vietnam or Made in China

In Qatar now a days,  samsung mobile phones are sold which are made in China or which are made in Vietnam. Does anyone know about "made ins...."

If you are trying to look on back of your phone, thanks appreciate your efforts, but unfortunately its printed inside the phone and the battery needs to be removed to see that. I am not asking for that effort :-) LOL

Does different countries have different "made in" of same Samsung mobile device?

Is there any difference, or one is better than others. Please suggest.

HDC in China makes one of the best Note 3 copies with a true quadcore processor (though Chinese brand processor), 1 or 2 GB Ram and true 16 GB of memory. You can get it for about 200 USD, just a bit more than what the locally available clones are going for, which in Deira Dubai is about 350 AED to 400 AED. Don't know yet what the going prices are in Qatar.

When you run these tests you will see that the clones have either single core processors or dual core processors, while the original Note 3 has a quad core processor. However, for 80 percent of users, the clones are sufficient devices, though the cameras are not very good. That said, I don't think the cameras on the original are that good either, not worth 2500QR or AED.

There are two small programs you can install on Chinese clones to see their true specs: Antutu X Benchmark and Antutu Tester. The latter is a smaller program and runs very quickly. The former requires five to ten minutes to run a performance test. An original Note 3 will score about 35,000 on Antutu X Benchmark; a clone, 10,500.

I have explained the specifications of both phones they look similar but are not same... China has fake note 3 which has lower specifications and features. What I'm saying is from experience the fake note 3 is just a look but not performance that's why it's cheap...

Now original ones made in China are same but not the faked copies.

I have bought samsung Note 3 for my daughter it made in Korea however it is duplicate looks similar like the original...

Specification are 1 Ram and internal memeory only 2Giga ...in addition to that the software will show 16giga bite... It is not bad mobile but cant be compared to the original one...

Be careful once you buy as it is similar to original from in and out ... there is one thing when you check the setting in will show data connection and original will show mobile data...

well it all depends on your mind set :) both of the versions are the same..

and have the same qualities..but nevertheless people these days, still tend to have that negative view, when they see a phone which says made in china. they tend to think its fake, blah blah blahhh..but to help you with ur question...the phones which are made in either china or vietnam are the same and carry the same qualities...but if you feel better looking at a label which says made in vietnam rather that china, go for the vietnam one :)...but one major dis-advantage..sometimes even the store which is selling the phone will not know whether the phone is manufactured in china or vietnam, until he breaks the seal and checks the phone..but in order for them to break the seal and check, we will have to confirm that we will be buying that phone..or else, once the seal is broken they will not be able to sell it to a different customer..
