[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkspr1te:
FAKE S4's

Just to add to this,

I Often get asked to fix clients phones, mainly Samsung (see my brick fix to see what mean) , anyway recently I was asked to look at a Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 GSM

I held the phone a few time before i actually took it home, I was fooled, it seemed like a real S4, but it was fake.

Here is details i pulled while i had it
