I BOUGHT THIS SET GM-N9005 FROM A PERSON. WHEN USSD CODE *#1234* IS USED ONLY SHOWS AP AND CSC. NO CP IS SHOWN. MORE OVER NULL IMEI AND UNKOWN BASEBAND IS SHOWN. SO I DOUBTED IT IS A LIVE DEMO. I OPENED UP THE SET AND THERE IS NO ANTENNA WIRE. THE ROMS INSTALL ON IT EASILY. KIES RECOGNIZES THE PHONE. LOOK AT THE IMAGES AND TELL IF IT IS A LIVE DEMO OR NOT? COULD IT WORK IF ANTENNA IS PLACED.

Bucharest greatest city ever
looking at hardware seems legit. China fakes look awfull inside. Battery seem ok, spen as well.
Look at storage, fake has 8gb at most, and A7 or Mediatek chips, not Qualcom.

Use CPUZ to sees CPU/GPU, do an ANTUTU. If you have 30k on Antutu its legit.

Let me laugh

I NEVER SAW I9005 with SPen , Look at the PEN is full fake the button is close to the grey zone almost to the back , at the real N3 is put almost to your 1st finger and is very easy to be activated. And again IN THE LAST 1 YEAR SAMSUNG NEVER WROTED MADE BY SAMSUNG is only SAMSUNG MADE IN VIETNAM OR TAIWAN ( 99% in VIETNAM) I have the model S4 and NOTE 3 and on bouth are wroted MAde in Vietnam . BY SAMSUNG . But usually is N9005 and the full is SM N9005 VERDICT FULL DEMO UNIT OR FULL FAKE DEMO UNIT .

it looks to me like a fake, as even demo unit are named SM-N9005, GT-i9005 is galaxy S4 Lte Model. The SPEN is another pointer about fake.
