"Made in China" isn't so bad, wait until you see the "SHG-I7777" pure China-made product.
Well pretty soon we'll be trading in our "made in the USA" stickers for made in China stickers, as much money as we owe em. I'm kinda OK with it tho as long as I get a hawt Chinese girlfriend outta the deal.

Do you know that in China, if you have money and guts you can blueprint any device to the details and mass produce it legally as long as the name isn't branded yet.
This post made me look at my AT&T SGS2 box a while ago... Yeah, mine is also from China
At least as long as it says "Samsung" with the correct spelling, it is Samsung. Just the "Made in China" thing that bothers many people.

You do realize many manufacturers either get parts from china/japan, etc or their products are made there right? Made in the USA hasn't meant high quality for decades....

I just received my GS II (ordered from Amazon US) and found out the sticker inside the battery compartment says "Made in China"!! I was like, what the?? I thought the GS II was supposed to (still) be made in Korea!! The writing on the GS II box and the quick instruction manual are all in Spanish. The warranty card is also in Spanish and seems to be for Venezuela.
Anybody knows if there are any differences (specs, performance, quality, etc.) between the Korean and the Chinese GS II's? I'm afraid mine is a counterfeit/fake unit and is inferior to the Korean GS II's. And worst, there was no factory seal whatsoever (or any kind of seal for that matter) on my GS II packaging!! Should I be worried? Should I just return it to Amazon and get a full refund before I regret it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for rambling. Just being paranoid after shelling out such a chunk of $$$ and receiving something that's not what I'd thought/expected it would be.
Why do you even care? its still a Galaxy S 2
Mine says made in Korea by Samsung.
If yours was a fake surely they'd fake the label too to say made in Korea? Maybe some are made in china. I'd contact amazon if your worried, unlikely they'd sell fakes given the size of the company. Tell them you want a refund anyway cos all the stuff with it is in Spanish and you can't read it

Like I said, it's just me being paranoid. Did some research online and found out some people not being satisfied when they received the non-Korean made GS II.
Actually, it's not that I'm worried about my GS II being a counterfeit one. I'm afraid the Chinese-made ones are inferior to the Korean-made ones (in terms of spec, performance, quality, etc).
Thanks, though. Maybe I'm just worrying for no reason.
The build can be from Korea, China and Brazil, there is a thread about it. And soon they are going to start making them in Argentina, I think this is just assembling...
Mine is made in China as well and came from Chile, the phone is perfect as the SGS2 can be, nothing different other than being made in China.

Hahaha.... Naaah! Everything looks and appears the same as every other GS II I've seen online. Only difference is the sticker on the battery compartment says "Made in China/Hecho en China". No 2nd SIM card slot! Was just worrying for nothing, I guess.
Anyway, will try to power it up for the first time tonight after work. Hopefully my unit doesn't have the dreaded display problem of yellowish tint on the left side of the screen! Crossing my fingers :-\

The sticker appears kinda bland compared to the UK/EU version, doesn't it?
Looks like both cell phone and batt were manufactured in June 2011.
Mine was made in china also with June 2011 on it...but I'm extremely happy with it and no issues at all unlike the screen with yellow tint or something...even if it was fake, china did hell of a job making this phone...

i really doesn't tickle my pickle just yet. i need to see the actual device, i can say one thing though. too much chrome?
I'll leave that decision up for when I see the whole phone. But I must say I like the design if it really will be curved.

I am absolutely into it. Assuming they even come CLOSE to the reported specs, I am already a customer. Now I just gotta convince my fiancee to let me buy one off contract < a month before our wedding!
i was expecting a near edge less frame, mostly glass on the top. maybe a silver band around it, then a black cover on the back with no expandable memory and a non removable battery, oh wait...
but yeah, frameless glass would of been nice. more squarish too. round/oval looking phones are nasty IMO, on of the reasons why i didn't get the skyrocket.
As many 'concept' designs as I've seen out there, I would take this with a grain of salt as well. My understanding (based on other fact-less rumors) is screen will fill in most of the frame without 'dead space' like you see in that image.
My first Samsung ever was the infuse and i loved it. then i got the SGSII and i was blown away. made my mother buy a Samsung fridge too! But anyways, i have learned that samsung doesnt fool around. I am really expecting a good looking device. either way i will eventually give in and buy it lol.
I have to get myself a Nokia too.
Let me know when the AT&T pictures are released.
I'm with chris, at&t does have a nasty habit of making their phones horrendous from the international version. Why they can't just leave the designs I do not know!

the only difference with the at&t gs2 (basically) is they took out that stupid big center home button... otherwise its pretty much identical.

+1 for removal of that center button.... makes the phone look super retarded imho... My mum-in-law has the int'l version, and each time I use it I get a bit jumpy cause I think I'll press the button too hard and damage the phone.
I dont think this is it....for example take a close look at III, last I is much closer to second than first and second are + third I seems little higher...second fact is that words fast vivid slim were already used by samsung for SGSII: http://bmobile.co.tt/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ad_galaxys2.jpg
and the third fact....it looks weird at least to me....maybe only a strange render (if that happens to be real)
Never mind.

As someone above said, I wouldn't count on any of these mock ups as being legit.
Looking over your shoulder...
Usually international versions will always look better and are better.
Like many pre-orders, I received mine on Thursday.
I was disappointed, however, that the seal has been broken and there were scuffles and smudges in the back near the camera.
Perhaps, mine was opened by US Customs to examine.
I'm wondering if there are many others out there who received their phones in similar condition.
Also, I couldn't find any headphones included. Is that right?

The serial number, hex and dec number on my box were different from the ones on my phone. I had all kinds of problems getting it activated until i pulled the back cover and saw different numbers. The tech support guy at sprint i was on the phone with said he has only seen that 1 or 2 times in the several years hes been there. Customs must have taken it out of the box and put it in another.
Yall are just the unlucky bastards.
1st guy... Probably did check Yours and the agent didn't give a crap.
2nd guy... Lol that is 100 percent the agent was a retard. My of broke it and put a different one in it.
Cough get dna... Background cough
Wow that really sucks....I hope you can get that replaced...or at least replace the top plastic.
i'd be madd pissed.
denggg.. so did the customs agents just randomly open boxes to check? i thought maybe they'd take one from each batch or just one period for investigation. rediculous.

Maybe the phone that was originally taken out - was NOT but back in, but they kept the packaging/labeling and threw in another phone? Hence the mismatch numbers. Just a guess Would probably be easier to open a box with no label and just put that phone in the labeled box.

All the phones I have ever had come with headphones (and micro SD too). Odd.
It's a $500-$600 phone, and doesn't include headphones. That's quite perturbing.
@OP
That's really sh1tty. Sorry to hear that.
@other
OG Evo didn't come with headphones either. Box. Phone. Charger.
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
My last 2 phones were the EVO, and the EVO 3D, neither of which came with headphones. The way I see it is the headphones that come with phones are usually pretty crappy and I'd rather have them spend that few cents on improving the build quality of the phone. They're most likely going to cut corners somewhere to pay for the headphones they include.

Is anyone else just totally sick of Apple's abuse of the court system? I recently had the displeasure of having to repair a MacBook Pro for my daughter and I have to say that they have what I can only see as built in design flaws. Like the keyboard. You have to replace the entire aluminum top shell when you replace the keyboard... really? Is that really necessary when the keyboard is designed with thin layers that creates a very strong capillary effect, making it just suck up any fluid that comes close? I replaced just the keyboard thank you. Tediuous and annoying but $65 beats $450 any day of the week. F Apple. I now steadfastly refuse to purchase anything they market. These are acts of fear and not much else I think... keep living by the sword Apple I can't wait to see the tides turn

Hey Apple, I have an excellent idea:
How about INSTEAD of suing your competition, you make your phones BETTER?
Too bad that's never gonna happen. This Cheapo-Depot company is going to make phone after phone after phone, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. They're going to lose one day, whether they give up or someone bombs their facility, theyll give up, and all of us Android users will laugh at their failure and pain.

The Previous Sentence Was A LIE.

back on my htc one as my personal.
so i filed a claim through assurant. ehh. not looking good. they dont have the lg g2 in the system. the rep was trying to give me the lg g2x. lol. i explained to him the lg g2 is a new phone that just was released. he said it wasnt showing up in the system. i was like its probably cuz the phone doesnt official, release until this wednesday.
i checked my claim today online to see whats up. (had to fax in a document also). they revived the document. so that was good. but the device being claimed was the lg g2x. i was like wtf. called them asap. talk to a rep. explained th phone situation. she made sure that they had to call me before processing the claim to make sure i get the phone that i am supposed to get. she said to call back in 3 days.
dont like this process. why offer insurance if they dont have anything. gonna talk to tmobile in a few days
2 weeks later with the insurance (huge headache i might add), i finally got a replacement yesterday. looked brand new in box. except the stickers were cut, so dunno.
