Are all GG made in Korea? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hi
It's a curious question. I'm seeing some online sellers in my country selling GG with different boxes (larger) than the one my GG came in. My box was smaller and also i'm seeing a different lettering of the inside of that watch vs mine.
Have a look at this link: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ve/MLV-415953986-nuevo-reloj-samsung-galaxy-gear-_JM
My GG on the inside back has a BC symbol and 6 lines of lettering and also reads made in Korea. I understand this is the usual right? Bit confused with that vendor images.

Not sure where these ones were made but China usually takes over production after awhile. At least from what I have seen from older samsung products. However the gear is relatively new so I doubt anyone else besides samsung (Korea) is making them right now. Packaging may vary.

Mine just says 'Made by Samsung'. No country of origin mentioned at all? I don't have a BC symbol either? I do have in large print ce0168

This what mine reads:

Mine also says Vietnam.
I live in the US

Vietnam as well

Looks like Korea pawned off the manufacturing to Vietnam instead of China this time. Mine says Korea but I got mine the first week it came out.

Bought in Laos.

I bought in UK

Wow they all look much different. Please upload more pics! for the curiosity.

Mine says "Made in Korea by Samsung" both on the watch and the box. FYI the box mines came in is a more of a cube not a rectangular like the one post on that website.

Glad I got mine early!
Yeah, I checked a few days ago for the heck of it and it said "Ships in 3-4 weeks," but yesterday it started saying "Coming soon!" So ridiculous. I would have preferred they waited an extra month to stock-pile their units rather than proceed with a borked launch. Water under the bridge...
and, they're back..

Seems like they've only stopped selling the 16GB to the whiners in the US. Good so that other parts of the world get a chance. I'm in the US so don't nag me.

Troll fail. This is a US based device, as other countries don't even get to use the main reason the Nexus was even released: the Play Store.

True to an extent, but many countries do. (e.g. Australia)
I got mine at a local Staples. They seem to get small shipments in every week and not many people would think of them as the go to place to get the nexus.

Last Wednesday I ordered two 16GB models. The shipping status was listed as "ships 2 to 3 weeks"
They arrived Friday morning. Something is really out of whack with the status

[TPU Case] Are these fake?

So i bought a m*****y case for about $12 in my country (ph) and i wasn't aware of counterfeits.
But then, i encountered these:

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.158250030919750.38542.140699362674817&type=3
So now i'm doubting. The material is of high quality Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) case. So i really don't know.
1. The box does not have hologram sticker
2. The box's design is 100% different from the one advertised by the korean company

Looks like the real thing. From the placement of the logos and the packaging looks very legit. I'm from PH also. Where did you get it? Online or local sellers? Wish seeing one in white for my nexus s.

local seller only has yellow and red, so i bought yellow. i ordered white via ebay. will arrive within a month.
Man, I could rock on with the red one for now, til the white one comes along. Could you please indulge me with the location where you got it from, if you wouldn't mind? =)

I'll pm you with the seller's shop name, location, and contact number. But there's a small chance the red one's still there.
I was planning to get the black one 3 days prior to purchase date but when i went there it's gone.
Looks pretty real to me
the price is normale and the quality in photo is good... why someone would need now to fake a cover of the nexus s?
Nope it's a real product I have once red for my nexus s i9023 and it's fantastic

? Possible White Nexus 4 @ Carphone Warehouse? UK

I went into my local CPW yesterday to ask about the availability of the N4 this week, the girl I spoke to looked it up (big screen flashing up warning NOT to give customers any info and to keep stock in the back etc)
I asked if she could look up the price for SIM fee and she tried another approach, searching on the system for lg nexus 4, a simple screen popped up with the price for 2 nexus 4's.... now, unless my eyes deceived me, I saw one for "nexus 4" and one for "nexus 4 White" (both said £389.99 or similar)
Obviously as I wasn't looking for that info it didn't really sink in until a moment or two later so by that time the screen had been closed etc.... just wondering if anyone had seen anything similar? I don't want to cause any undue excitement, pant wetting etc but surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility? I had a quick search but couldn't see any mention of it...
Anybody? Maybe the o2 exclusivity thing has the white one as part of it?
I hate white phones so not interested, but one of you lot might be into it!
We will find out tomorrow I suppose, but you heard it here first eh!
(....probably been old news for a while or complete rubbish so slinks off to cry....)

Yeah there was a picture on Twitter a while back showing a CPW display that had both black and white options on it.

Ah, it's right enough then... I thought for a second I'd imagined it. I read that article too, must have been before the update with the white option.
Sorry for the pointless post then!

Strange we haven't heard anything official from either Google or LG about it... Wonder how it looks, as my Gnex is the white version.

gold or silver note 5

does anyone know or even think the U.S market will get the gold or silver note 5 any time soon?I really want a silver one.I don't understand why they would show all those colors at there press release but not make them available.It is kind of upsetting and makes me wonder what is wrong with samsung marketing people.I wonder how many more sales they could of had at the release with those colors.
Yeah I feel you. In my country only the Black and Gold are available and I really wanted either the White or Silver, because these 2 colors don't show fingerprints a lot. The Black and Gold are constantly dirty. I wipe mine down at least twice a day and it's still constantly disgusting.
To answer your question, no I don't think colors will be available everywhere. They are market dependent. Maybe down the road they will arrive but by that time it'll be too late to own a Note5 anyways

I was in the same boat. I'm on AT&T and didn't like the black (blue?) option or the white one.
I really liked silver and loved the gold.
I ended up buying the N920i international model and am currently using it on AT&T flawlessly.
No complaints whatsoever.

No there isn't, I checked and nothing works on Verizon except for Sprint and Verizon phones.
The one I have is not compatible either. Sorry.

missing tweezers and replacement nibs?

Are we supposed to receive a tweezer and replacement nibs for this phone in the box? I ordered it from Samsung direct and cannot seem to find it.
Is anyone else missing it from the box?
Yes, those are supposed to be included: http://www.samsung.com/us/galaxy/note8/specs/ .

This is going to be a problem. I know from bitter experience that if an item is missing Samsung will require the whole box and contents including your mobile to be returned! Unless your outlet can arrange with the Samsung rep' to just give you a pack. Its an absurd situation. I speak in relation to Southern Europe, if you are in the USA or UK etc things 'may' be different?
It happens, it has to considering millions of these mobiles will be shipped. Its just a pain to resolve.
I know numerous Note 7 buyers where NOT requested to return all the contents of the box only the mobile. To that end maybe a decent member here who has a spare set could send it to you as a kind favour? If I had a set I would do so. When I returned both my Note 7's the outlet (Samsung) required everything, including the so called free VR head set! :silly:
Hope you can resolve this with a minimum of fuss.
Ryland :good:
It also happens that customers sometimes fail to check every nook and cranny of their packaging, or fail to unbox their device in the middle of an otherwise-empty surface where they can easily see everything that's removed from the box, and where there's no danger of knocking tiny items to the floor.
Worst case, though, is that you can order replacement nibs for a few dollars.
what are the little tweezer things for anyway?
