It is a fake nothing on this forum can help you either return it or try a fake forum .
Multiple posts on the same subject fake on this forum its all a dead end as its not Samsung and not SGS3 and not I9300 and it looks as if its not even the standard fake .

I bought a GT-I9300 off craigslist and there's some strange things about it. I'm thinking this is probably an asian or international version, but i'm not sure.
1. When i look at storage settings, it shows Internal Storage total space 503MB, and Phone Storage total space 2.06GB. The phone is supposed to be 16GB so I don't understand that.
2. In regards to RAM, Quadrant shows the phone has about 512MB, but it should have 1GB I believe.
3. I added my Google account, but it won't let me enable sync.
4. Battery says SUNSANG instead of SAMSUNG.
5. Am i correct that this phone won't support T-mobile 3g/4g?

Hi all,
I bought myself a Samsung Galaxy S3 from the internet, however all text was in Chinese. That itself wasn't a problem as I managed to change to English, however there are still some Chinese letters/words in the Settings menu etc. The Play Store doesn't appear to be the correct store either and it came with tons of free apps, all in Chinese.
What would be the simpliest/easiest way to put a stock or custom UK (or even US) rom on this so its entirely in English?
I've tried googling/youtube but there are many many ways to do it, and all seem complicated or you end up with broken links or files etc.
Many thanks
I have a sneaking suspicion you haven't got a genuine S3 could you post more details or even some pictures with the back removed ?

What tells you that?
Just googled the following

And it leads the numerous fake i9300 links
You don't have an i9300 I'm afraid. Take a look in the back under the battery cover do you have dual sim slots ?

Just recently bought the I9300 out here in China. Actually it's the 2nd time I've bought this phone (lost it the first time I owned it). Right away I noticed that some of the preinstalled chinese bloatware apps were different than what came preinstalled on the I9300 I previously owned.
Living in China I'm always nervous of something being a fake, even when I buy it from a trusted source. I think it's very possible that the phone has simply changed since the last time I bought it (about a year ago) but I figure it's better to post the specs on here and let someone who knows more about the phones in China decide if my phone is a fake or not.

I think, your device is a Samsung Galaxy S3 Original.
You have the versión GT-i9300_CHN_CHN from China Unicom.
I have the same versión, but i change the stock rom, i made a modified rom from CHINA and Spain, so i can enjoy Play Store, and full Spanish or English Android.
If you still have doubts, Search the App: Genuine Galaxy S4/S3/Note II, this app tell you if your Galaxy is original, using hardware test.
Good Luck

Don't worry, buddy. That's just fine. You may install a new rom such as XXELLA or later.
The baseband ZCELL1 is customed for CHINA UNICOM. That is the ONLY services provider that have WCDMA/HSDPA network.
