Hi 1ds!
I'm researching about which smart phone I should upgrade to next year, when I found your post.
I too have recently become concerned about where my future smart phone will be manufactured. But not because of any product quality issues.
I normally would not be bothered about buying products made in China (PRC). But lately I have realized that I can no longer support products made in China in good conscience because of their maltreatment of the Tibetan people, as well as PRC creating territorial disputes with its neighbors (using aggressive bullying tactics and brinkmanship).
Although I respect other peoples' decisions to buy products made in PRC, I just can no longer justify to myself how even 1 tiny cent of my money might help the PRC to continue doing what is currently doing.
So if anyone can provide a list of smart phones that are not Made in China, it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
Then, the best way to make sure about the country where our Samsung device were manufactured is: taking out the back-cover, removing the battery and reading what says in there?
Is that completely reliable information?
Regards
They both have qurality because of the "Product controlled by Samsung US." or something like that.
The differences are the models which usually have different the Cellular and wireless, just like apple. for instance
Apple iPhone 5s have 5 models:
But I believe that Galaxy note 3 3G model is from China while 4G model is from Korea.
Hope this was helpful.
