[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prafmetal:
Well my phone is made in Korea and the battery also made in korea/ finished in china. About the hardware part...theres a minor flaw i guess with the design as the backlight is visible near the home button via a very small gap or something like that...apart from that everythings fine. And i really doubt theres any difference in the quality of hardware used to manufacture the phones...let it be from korea or china or the us.

All the nokia phones you get in India are all manufactured in China..but they are as good as the ones manufactured in Finland.

Lol I think it's just your perception that give you the illusion that this phone feels more premium since it's made in Korea not China. But I do agree that China makes Crappy well everything. I do like my devices to made in Japan though. Why Nintendo manufactures in China equals hinge problems on everybody's 3DS. KFC= Kick F**cking China.

Don't be silly guys! There is no difference between Korean made and China made. I have used both so telling you from experience. Had to return the first Korean made because of faults. The China made one is perfect. Touchwood. Hardware and build wise there is no diff whatsoever. Even in the Korean made phone, the earphones packaging said "made in China".

Phone: Made by Samsung

Battery: Made in Korea, Finished in China

On the box it had China (Tianjin) address. Phone purchased online in India.

I have voted China as per the box, however when I did an IMEI Lookup, it still says Manufacturer as "Samsung Korea". So not sure what to infer from it. Though I don't see any obvious cosmetic quality issue other than the misspelled AMOLED (AMOLDED ;))
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Probably that "Made by Samsung" is some batch from Korea.

Phone made in China

battery made in Korea but assembled in China

Bought from Orange Romania.

I want to know if there is the possibility, due to it's origins (China) not to have all the features (like Gorilla Glass, same quality display, camera, lens, sensors etc) as an 'original' one, not saying that it's fake.

but when you look at it closely, there seem to be a film over the LCD but under the outer screen that looks dirty or more precise, dried after it was spilled with something, there are marks of dried liquid

the phone is brand new so I didn't throw it into the water or expose to steam, rain etc...

and more, this film or what ever is looks unclear, when the display shows a white screen, it looks like an old film photograph, very grainy.. any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Maybe you should take it back to the store and compare it side by side with another phone, From what I can see with my eagle eyes, My phone display a very clear and clean white colors.. I cant find anything that resembles your description.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aymara:
Some people say the build quality in Korea is better as in China, others say it's the same. But one thing is shure, all have the same features.

Yes, that sounds like a faulty display ... definitly not as flawless as mine. I would ask for an exchange from Orange.

I seriously think our batch are all refurbished batch from all around the world. Too many people have the yellow tint screen(not mine) and Pink Spot when taking picture indoor with relatively low light from indirect sunlight. No matter which kernel I or all others used,the Pink Spot remains( . Refund is not possible,exchanging with new unit will have the same problem.

I have cross checked with friends overseas(Australia & Holland) who owns Made in Korea SGS2. They found no defect or whatsoever on both the camera and the screen. I am thinking of getting one of those Made in Korea SGS2 very soon but from overseas as all sold here are Made in China.

With android under attack from all sides, including microsoft, apple, and rim, who are now joining together to try to kill of android because of the threat it presents to them, can it survive in it's present 'free' state?

The latest blow came from the 6000 patents bought from nortel by a consortium of companies led my apple and microsoft, who are no doubt going to add these patents to their list of lawsuits against google and it's partners, i.e. any company that produces android handsets.

microsoft is already trying to get $15/handset from samsung.

Their goal is to make android so costly to google and the handset manufacturers that they will effectively kill it off.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Proelio:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] imparator:
I think Google is powerfull enough to cover the $15 per device for Samsung. I mean Samsung have made Android bigger than it allready is......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hansonator:
Ya, seems everyone is out to stop Google. I think they have a plan in place and maybe even as early as fall, with the launch of ICS, they'll reveal that plan. I would say that they have so far reassured their manufacturing partners that they have a plan in place to put these failing dinosaurs in thier places. Otherwise, most of them would be abandoning android.

Maybe Google is taking a closer look at Bing, would be too funny if they charged ms a couple bucks per search if they found something infringing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tommy320:
I think these patents are only enforcable in the US. Every other country doesn't have these patents. So the $15 is only for phones sold in the US by Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] siravarice:
What funny is that apple microsoft and intel can't sue each other because they bought it as a consortium. I'm not worried that google will find a way around this, considering that the android platform is the best out there.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Yeas:
There is a difference between asking $15/handset and getting it. Additionally, I doubt Microsoft is serious about the number and is more likely attempting to licensing a large patent agreement with Google that would cover more than phones and only using this as leverage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
Google could just buy RIM and by doing so get the Nortel patents anyway.

It could also ask partner companies to cross licence for android products which will not only strengthen the patent portfolio but will also protect the android platform and in doing so help out both Google and its partners. HTC and Samsung and Google should have formed a consortium to buy the Nortel patents but by Google's bidding pattern looks like they weren't really interested.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GOTFrogqc:
The patent sale as been approuved by both Canadian and American Gouverments. Damn!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
But yh with the 3 other major platforms, Microsoft, Apple and RIM all bidding to keep Google out shows how all 3 view android as a great threat. Microsoft and Apple are hardly best pals but against Google they joined the partnership. Microsoft was already immune from the patents as its already paid the license to fee to Nortel to use them, so even if Google got the patents they wouldn't have had to pay any royalties. Their bid was a tactical one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d3ck4rd:

An interesting article I found on androidandme.com

"Google ready for war, plans to hire patent experts"

------------------------------------------------------------

If you thought Google was going to take the stampede of Android lawsuits and patent trolling lying down, you thought wrong. Even though the company lost the Nortel patent bid to Microsoft, Apple and others, there are still a lot of companies out there that can be acquired for the same purpose.

“There are a lot of phenomenal portfolios for sale. Assuming they were willing to spend at least the $900 million of their initial offer to achieve the result they were after, they’re going to get there,” explains Dean Becker, chief executive officer of ICAP Patent Brokerage. Simply put, Google will certainly acquire other companies to beef up its patent war chest.

In order to do so, the company is currently looking to hire a team of patent lawyers and experts that will be responsible for “patent-related protection, licensing, dispute resolution (pre-litigation and litigation), acquisition, deals and policy work.” Key word here being “acquisition.” This team of patent specialists will also have to:

Determine strategic areas for patenting

Negotiate patent related deals including licensing and acquisitions

Respond to notice letters and assist with patent litigation

Evaluate and reply to potential acquisitions and licensing opportunities

Generally educate researchers and engineers on patent issues

In other words, Google is going to be patenting a whole lot of stuff from now on, while acquiring a bunch of companies. Of course, this Super Friends of lawyers will also help Google in its current fight with Oracle and other patent trolls.

I have to say, there was moment after I found out Google lost the Nortel bid that I truly feared for the future of Android. There are just so many large companies (Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, RIM, Nokia) that want to see the OS dead. It can be a bit overwhelming to see Google get attacked on so many fronts. I guess that’s what happens when you build something as successful as Android.

But that fear is now gone. Google clearly knows this patent warfare is a very serious threat to Android. Possibly the biggest threat, seeing how most competitors have given up on competing with better products.
