This is a difficult situation. Made in....assembled in......produced in....
To the very best of my knowledge even IF ones mobile says "Made in China" it is likely that means assembled in China.
All manufacturers source their components from different sources and assemble them in a factory.
Mercedes is a German brand of car, not only are certain models made in other countries but all Mercedes cars will have numerous pieces made in other countries and the same piece can be sourced in Taiwan, China, UK, Malaysia etc. Even some of the great 'Swiss' watches have pieces made abroad even if its the base material they use.
I think its an impossible question to answer.

What method of quality control and testing did you use in arriving at that conclusion?
Ryland
AT&T version says Manufactured in Korea on the back.
Mine is European unlocked (exynos) version and is manufactured in Vietnam.
Depends where you are in the world it seems. I believe United Kingdom and European models are made in Vietnam. Certainly all my previous Samsung phones were.

Biggest difference is the network bands that are being used.
The 03 seems to be for EU/America's and the 33 seems to be for Asia.
Don't quote me on it tho.

If Sony make a proper push into Chinese/Indian markets, there may still be a dual sim version. We live in hope :fingers-crossed:

Hello, so I'm interested in buying the Z3C from Clove, the D5803 model and I"m from India.
I've read that the only problem will be that I won't be able to use 4G.
So otherwise everything will work on Indian networks? Internet, calling, 3G??
Thanks for your help!
http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z3_Compact_D5803_D5833_WP_1.pdf
Apparently the difference is in the 3g and 4g Bands.
Also the D5833 is the only one to have TD-LTE which is popular in Asia (According to wikipedia) So i'm guessing 5833 is the asian model and the other is the "rest of the world" model.

Thanks. Yeah, I read something about that.
I'm just wondering if I can use that model in Asia. Cause that's the only model available in Clove and that site has lowest price by far compared to any other online store. So I was just wondering if I could use the D5833 model in Asia.

If you are buying fro Clove because of the price difference please be aware that in most likelihood you will have to pay customs duty which will pretty much match up the price you will pay for it in India. I bought the D5833 model with the Indian LTE band from USA. My friend bought it for me and is now in Kerala. Waiting for him to courier it to me.

Alright, thanks for the warning. Although I checked using the duty calculator they provide and it says I have to pay around 4,000 to customs. That still makes it a lot lower than the Indian retail price. Although I'm not 100% sure it's accurate

I agree. However, given that the phone is already selling in india at a much higher rate and if the customs guys have any idea about its selling price in India, I would think that they would tax it to equate your invoice with the selling price in India. I'm not certain on this though. But there is indeed a chance. This is not discourage you. The phone is now available from ebay.in for 39990 with full sony india warranty.

True. I'll probably wait a few more months for the price to drop.
I'll make sure before buying the phone from Clove to see how much the customs will cost. Thanks
So I was out to buy the Note 4 and I wanted to try the Exynos variant because I've always purchased the Snapdragon variants. I figured because the Exynos Note 4 finally supported LTE in the US and the fact that it was using a next generation SoC made it a natural decision for me to finally convert... BUT when purchasing, I looked into Expansys for getting the phone. They specifically advertised the SM-N910U on their website of the phone. I spent nearly $1,000 and purchased next day delivery. To my horror, I found that the model number was SM-N910H, which supports no LTE and will likely have the least support of the Exynos variants. I'm so livid. I don't think I'm going to buy internationally anymore, I don't trust these vendors. :crying:
Thats is really not good. Can you return to them the unit?
Sent from my SM-N910U using Tapatalk
Expansys sent me an opened phone before so I'll never buy another phone from them. And they're not authorized to sell anything even though they advertise manufacturer's warranties.
Just for future reference, what are more reputable sellers to look at?
Exapansys are very very bad. I have rarely heard good things about them. Apparently they are also a nightmare to deal with for returns or warranty issues. Although I haven't used them yet, but I heard tons of good things about Clove. www.clove.co.uk
I will most probably buy the Galaxy Gear S from them soon.

When Worst Buy states "Unlocked" what does that specifically mean ? To me unlocked = Nexus type freedom, as in unlocked bootloader and freedom to root with ease.
I hope BB doesn't mean unlocked as in SIM card and network only. Because noways that's totally legal for all phones to be unlocked per the U.S Govt. law this year. That should not even be listed as special feature nowadays.

When I went to Best Buy, they had the unlocked stickers on the edge of the table. There was about a $50+ markup on the unlocked models over the carrier ones. According to the Samsung rep, Best Buy is trying to bring more unlocked (Samsung) phones in their stores. The S6 Edge+ 64GB for example was $919.99

I went to best buy today in Milwaukee and spoke with someone from best buy as well as the samsung rep - both said that they did not offer an unlocked phone - and said they were not aware of any best offering unlocked phones. Had to choose a carrier when you bought the phone - I think I saw that you are in HOUSTON ? Maybe that is a test market or something? It aint happening here - (though I really wish it was - I would much prefer buying an unlocked phone that i could use anywhere.

We actually end up having a lot of "test market" experiences here so I wouldn't put it past it. I never actually considered that being the case as most of the Best Buy stores here in Houston contain a fairly large number of unlocked phones. I was actually surprised to see the unlocked S6 edge+ stickers all over the area. They weren't pushing it but they said it is something they offer.

What a question..
It doesn't matter from where are you buying it.
It only matters to support EU bands.
3003 is the correct model for EU.

Well, since this phone isn't sold like most other phones in local stores, instead it's sold directly from the design-company. Especially now when OnePlus has stopped selling them, now we have to buy directly from the producers (Aliexpress) or from stockpilers/resellers on Ebay. So yeah, this is an import phone either way and, ao it's up to us buyers to choose the direct band-locked modell.
Also, there's actually no physical difference in the models which is important to know. Only in software which locks which bands that it will connect to.

Did you know someone getting it and have OEM Unlock present?
Interesting how fast the price is dropping in EU.
Can already find the S9+ for ~€800. It launched at €950.
I say give it another 3-4 weeks and it'll be under €700.
Also, can be had for $820 on US Ebay - S9+ dual sim exynos.
Price is falling WAY quicker than the S8 and S8+, both due to slower sales and incoming competition that should be fierce.

That snap will likely have an unlocked BL but they never get any love from developers.
Exynos is still the way to go despite the OEM wait, hopefully the patch made by Dr Ketan works on oreo.
