Is Korea's Version of SGS3 Bigger than Int'l Version?

i saw a pic of 2 versions of the SGS3. the korean version is square looking, while the international one is rounded. is the korean version bigger than the international version?

I haven't seen photos of it but the Korean version is said to be the best of the S3's with quad core processing AND 2GB of RAM

is there any way of buying the korean version? and would it work on tmo's 4G?

It's only 0.4mm thicker. If both the areas I use my phone in weren't LTE I would've gone for the Korean version and turned off LTE.

[INFO] Model information

So as you know good 'ole Samsung released lots of different versions of our phone.
So here you will find more info about each model
If you go to Settings> About Phone you can find model version (eg. I8190(letter here)
You can see list below for more info:
No letter- 8GB international model
N - 8GB NFC international model
L - Model for Latin America
T- 16GB NFC international model
I - 16GB international model (unconfirmed)

Thanks for the List, lots of people asking what's the difference between the various models of GT_i8190. Didn't know there was a I model.

So there is no hardware difference
#except the storage#. ..mmm, then why each one have different roms?

I think the Nand memory is the same in both models 8GB and 16GB. I've heard Samsung uses some sort of a workaround to lock 16GB models to 8GB, and that it's simply software based. I've also heard that people successfully unlocked their Galaxy S3 from 16GB to 32GB right here on xda.

Wow.. how is that? i have a gt i8190L (8gb, without NFC) i hope can get de 16 gb :fingers-crossed: ,
talking about NFC, have the same problem? i mean, is lock like in HOX or definitely dont have NFC?

i hope it understand
thanks

I have I8190N 8GB bought in Poland, and it has I8190NXXAMB2 firmware. Can anyone confirm if it is the latest stock firmware for NOW?
And can I root it somehow? (I don't want to experiment, and the one with root in thread near hear is ALL6, which I don't know if it is newest one?)

[Q] Storage capacity of US versions

Can anyone who has already received their US version confirm the storage capacity and whether it came with the earbuds like the international version. I'm still seeing conflicting info on 16gb vs 32gb storage capacity.

[Q] Anyone think there will be a 32gig system memory in the US

Still waiting but I may have to get the Note 4 but I prefer the 5.1" size but the OIS is nice.

Yes it will be soon when the international version has 128GB

It's possible (I wouldn't be shocked if we see some sort of "special edition" before the end of the year), but at this point I wouldn't count on a 32GB model being released through any of the U.S. carriers.

Modding galaxy note 4

Hello everyone, do you think that will come out sooner or later rom for notes 4? thanks

Very soon we will upgrade to Android 5.0 lollipop. I think it will need more time to mod on new OS.

If I can find an online store that has the exynos N910U in stock for immediate delivery I would buy it right now. If I can't I will just wait for sd aussie N910G version.
Just cracked my note 3 screen so want a new one asap

Noel Leeming and Warehouse Stationery over here have stock online, but I guess you'd need to use a re-shipper to get it to Aus. Any services over there you could use?

Sweet! Good to see your ROM up to.

extras
Would be nice if a s5 rom was ported to the Note 4 the features on the s5 compared to this is unbelievable...The Note 4 has all the smart scroll,finger view etc in hidden setting but don't work even when turned on so maybe an s5 style rom might bring the load of missing stuff back...
