My friend's mom got this phone for him supposedly but since it wasn't for Verizon carrier(and they use Verizon), they are trying to sell it.
I have been searching this thread and Google, but cannot seem to find out the retail price on this or even if this is legit.
The previous thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/galaxy-s7-sm-g930fd-64gb-model-exists-t3401143 seems to mention that they exist but are rare?
Anyways, was wondering if you guys can help confirm if this is real or not, and maybe the retail value if it is real?
Update:
Thanks!
Look at the gap between the top of the home button and the bottom of the screen on yours, vs a real one

The size of the bottom bezel is too big on yours too, pretty sure you were already told in the thread you have linked that it's a fake
Its a real fake phone, value of maybe $100.
The thick black border around the screen is a dead giveaway, if you pull the sim card tray and its metal its also fake, the real one is plastic and has a rubber seal around it.
Okay so I told my friend it could be fake according to you guys.
We checked the Sim-card and it did not have a rubber seal around it.
So that prompted us to install CPU-Z to check the processor.
Can anyone confirm it is fake? I updated the pics on the first post.
Thanks in advance.
Its super fake, cpuz says it even has an s7 edge kernel.

Thank you. I almost paid $400 for a fake phone.
I took a picture with it and it was as bad as my ZTE Maven.
Thanks man, appreciate it.
This is fake. Take note the processor its using MTK6580

This is a Fake phone , like others have said its running a so called edge kernel and firmware lol , the black on the sides of the screen , the phone side edges are flat dead give away
you can snap the back off and see the battery under it. u can use your finger to get a part of the back and then lift up.
CPU - MT6580 = FAKE
GPU - Mali-400 MP = FAKE
This is a good video to watch, This person shows the main stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzKnmffM2K4
simple ways to find out if a SG7 is a fake.
1.) go to the system about and click the software info android version and click it a few times
you will see a lollipop
2.) download a app that will tell you the cpu of the phone
3.) also a fake the back will come off as they have a crap battery
4.) the screen will look a bit off and when u press it you will see like a old calc looking liquid under it
5.) they mostly will be the FD model will 2 sim cards
6.) the phone weight is almost the same its about 20 grams off or so
7.) everything looks pretty dam good on the clone/fake/replica
8.) most will not even have a download mode
9.) recovery mode will be old
10.) the side edges cant be faked on the clone so that's a big give away
Best way is to download a app that can show you the processor the system has
I can tell you i seen some fakes that even look better then the one in that video
'Tis definitely a fake then. Another red flag would be the camera bump protruding a bit more than the real thing, though clones with flatter camera nubs do exist.
Oh and another thing... Can you install AIDA64 and give us some screenshots from it?
Case looks like Galaxy S6.

Hi boys and girls!
I was planning on buying the new Diamond 2 as soon as it hit the shelves here in Norway, but as HTC still thinks I should pay for the repair of an USB port which was DOA I have decided to try to find some other phone...
So - anyone have any good suggestions?
Cheers!
Nokia 5110
I prefer the lime green casing myself, but that is personal preference, as is selecting a device or a type of wine.

@ Red: Thanks for the suggestion, but I find it too small for my liking. My three "musts" are:
1. The handset need to be sturdy. If i forget my hammer, I need something to hit other drivers with.
2. Must come with its own backpack, and the fabric must be washable.
3. I sometimes use the phone in my care, so the top part must be possible to detach from the battery. There just isn't space in my estate car to have the battery in the front.
My best bet til now is this model:

haha great response. With all honesty go with something a bit inexpensive in the meantime if you are waiting for TP2 to be released in your country.
Actually, I'd rather go for something NOT from HTC...
Go for Touch Pro 2 or Toshiba TG01
Or buy the new HTC Touch HD ...
Thanks for the suggestion. Will have to have a look at the Toshiba. As for HTC, I'd really like to stuff the aforementioned phone (the Ericsson) somewhere the sun don't shine. Unfortunately, I think I will have to use "most people" as a baseline for sun-exposure, as I have a feeling these guys (?) do a lot of "work" on all fours
I understand your reluctance to get a HTC again I for one have a HD which is actually really good although when i first brought one it had 3 dead pixels and although htc wouldnt replace it the shop i brought it from would, now after 3 months or so my replacement has just developed a stuck pixel which I have never seen before I've has so many products with lcd screens and worked in a shop for a bit that sold them and only ever seen them come with a dead/stuck pixel. its not really noticeable but very annoying considering the price of the phone. So I was thinking thats the last time i buy a htc but then I realized there isn't any 1 else who makes anything near as good in terms of features and looks.
my first choice would be the hd
go for the HD or a super processor snapdragon on the Toshiba TG01

Id say real, looks like a authentic photo with reflections on the poster
Shows 1.2ghz Dual core Processor, with the dates 10/11/2011 or 11/10/2011 american date
Super amoled which we guessed etc 4.7" screen it says
I agree with you. Lets wait for HK tonight and confirm all this
one thing that i find strange is
Why are the 3 dot connectors on the same side as the power button? if u have it docked on the side how would u turn it on?
Seems abit silly which could indicate fake but its hard to call something real when its unreleased
But "what if" that is not a connector?
any theorys on what else 3 dots could do? 3 dots is pretty common for dock connectors
what if they are on both sides?
like ,for fingers, not to "slide" from hand ?

That doesn't make any sense at all. (No offense, just being brutally honest.)
The dock pin connectors belong on the other side but otherwise this is pretty much spot on.

they are on the power button side
The official teaser video showed the pins on the same side as the power button. The only thing I see that makes me doubt it is the lack of curvature on the screen.
i like it and think thats what its going to look like. we will see today and i work at a cell phone store and the nexus is in my cellbrite for like two weeks already and we get promo posters and cards and t shirts all the time before phones come out so why not and its china we all know the chinnese got the inside info on everything
why don't you take a few shots and post here to see those posters

The curve is probably pretty subtle like on the Nexus S. Those blue lines in the teaser really exaggerated the curves

Yeah, but I saw the enhanced photos from the video, and the curve on the actual device appears much more distinct than the Nexus. We'll see though I suppose.
It's real.
Comparison.

if so yuck

What concerns me is the bottom bezel. It looks like there's a lot of black after the on-screen buttons on the bottom. Seems like a lot of wasted real-estate. In the leaked videos, it's even more apparent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9TfZGie48
I think the phone is too long... =T
Friend of mine asked me to repair his galaxy s4 screen, well after taking a good look at it i think it might be a knock off or (clone). My concern is if I purchase a OEM part for a galaxy s4 im pretty sure its not going to be the same part.
The screen is cracked where i cant get into the settings menu so unable to tell the version of android it is on or verify the phone model. I included a few pictures hope i can get some help.
Basicly my question is what phone model is this if it isnt the S4 or how can I find out.
Thanks,
Kory

Highly doubt it's real. A real S4 would have Samsung branding on the battery. It has dual SIM capabilities so that says it was made in, and for a Chinese area. The micro SD on an official S4 is not in that position. The front screen looks cheap, as well as the back plastic. I am pretty sure it's a clone, or Samsung just dramatically reduced its quality for its lower-income markets in foreign countries
Edit: Also, the font is not stock. Course one can change the font, but I assume the user didn't. Fake phones tend to have different fonts
a real galaxy s4 doesnt look like this .....I found an s4 with triple sim slots and , again , it doesnt look like that . I agree.... its fake

Remarks : I do 30-50 emails daily on S5.
It looks cool, though I worry about the magnet doing something to the phone over time. Probably unfounded though.
Otherwise, yeah, I've been waiting for some sort of S5 equivalent to this:
No one has comment... any one using it? Good keys for typing?
RodimusConvoy, where is your picture from? It has no S5 model yet?
It looks nice too

As far as I know, there are no versions of this for the S5, there's only versions for the S3 and S4.
I'm not sure who originally made it, as a bunch of copycats/clones have popped up. I originally saw it at Minisuit, but when I go to the website I see its no longer available. But if you put "sliding bluetooth keyboard" in parenthesis in Google, you'll get hits including where to buy it. For instance, NewEgg has it.
Though that doesn't help if you own the S5 . What you showed may be the only alternative for people who want a keyboard with the S5. And it doesn't look bad, just wondering about that magnet.
I've always been curious about this kind of case. I was looking at this one. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/galaxy-s5-slide-out-bluetooth-qwerty-keyboard-black-p45647.htm
Sorry, I haven't used one myself...
EDIT:
On closer inspection, I don't think those pictures are the S5... S4 maybe?

Its an S4. The phone in that picture is identical to the one in the pic I posted. That site is pulling a fast one. If you look at the S5, those three "dots" are all to the RIGHT of that tiny bar at the top, plus its corners are squared compared to the rounded S4.
I saw the same thing at Alibaba. It looks like people are taking advantage of the fact people want a keyboard for their S5 by misrepresenting what they're selling.

Sorry I missed this the first time. Its an alternate unverse, evil Rodimus Prime. Its from a comic and toyline called Transformers: Shattered Glass only available during the 2008 BotCon (an annual convention for Transformers fans).

Yes, I'm very late with this response.
I didn't like it. I found the keyboard inconveniently small, and the corners of the case that clipped onto the phone broke within a few months of use. I'm still looking for a keyboard case for this phone that will give me an experience comparable to having a true QWERTY slider, and I'm really POed that there are no current options available for one.
Samsung is apparently making keyboard cases for the S6 and one of the Tabs that approximate the old Blackberry feel. Not what I'd prefer, but I wish they'd do one for the S5, so I could at least give it a try.
Does a real picture of the exclusive Samsung colors exist? I want to see what they look like in real life before i decide to order one or not. More specifically, I'm trying to figure out if the edges of the graphite colored phone is going to be a black/dark like the phantom black, or will it have a chrome/metal looking side. It's hard to tell on the render they have in the website. From the from view it looks black/dark and from an angle it looks Chrome.

My Graphite order hasn't changed, it still says heading to my country. On a separate note, I finally went into Curry's to have a play with a S22 Ultra, it was the 8Gb/128Gb model. And my word it was super fluid and fast at doing everything I tried on it. Opened lots of apps, repeatedly...

My Graphite S22Ultra is still waiting to be delivered, hopefully not long now.

Thanks. I really just to know that it's going to look like in real life... Not on some rendered picture that might look different from what it really looks like
You can check out some reviews on YouTube...
Try browsing Reddit Galaxys22, plenty of Samsung exclusive pictures in there.
Flossy Carter did a video of the Red one earlier today, I have 2 Graphite ones. I'll take a picture in a moment and post it.
Edit: It has a lamp on top so it looks a little brighter than normal.

Damn that is sexy. I have ended up placing two orders.
One Phantom Black and the other Graphite.
Will cancel whichever doesn't ship first but I hope I end up with Graphite.

That looks really nice. Does it have a shimmer or metallic touch to it or is it completely matte?
My burgundy looks more like purple... Never knew Samsung to actually match the true colors for their actual phones once you have them in your hands. All a moot point anyways since it is truly just the 1% that rock this phone naked without a case or at least a skin.
