Short Guide to Samsung designations

[Guamguy]

If you want to understand what Samsung designations means, decoding a new number can tell you what carrier it will go to.

GT-i Generic International smartphone high end, if this ends with a letter, letter denotes region.
GT-T Generic T-Mobile US
GT-S Generic International smartphone low end.
GT-P Generic tablet
SHW- Korean carrier only, designation ends with letter denoting carrier (-L for LG Telecom, -K for Korea Telecom, -S for SK Telecom)
SHV- Korean carrier only, denotes LTE
SGH-i AT&T
SGH-T T-Mobile US (replaces GT-T)
SPH-D Sprint
SCH-i Verizon

-V suffix would sometimes denote 4G
-3 as the last number of the code would denote SLCD instead of Super AMOLED.

With this in mind, you can smartly decode the Samsung entries on this:

Nena Innovation AB - NenaMark results

Note SPH-D710 in Nenamarks 2 had been reigning on this list since July, long before there was any Sprint Galaxy S2 was announced.

Mystery phones not shown here but appeared in Nenamarks before:

SHV-E120S

Note the phone currently on top of the chart is SHV-E110S
