Not grey imports from Kogan but parallel imports, my brother got an S4 from them and he cant complain but specs are a little different as Utemad said CPU's and ram/ storage do differ.

That’s what the original purchaser specs for the phone, it is not a country thing, IE Optus is buying 10 000 phones they want to cut the best deal. they all come from the same factories.
Besides there is no Samsung licensing as such to sell there phones, anyone can buy direct, just if you have the volume to be able to do so.
Had my s3 with casemate for 14m. Dropped a few times and no drama. It did need the main board replacing. ..known fault with the 16gb model. Good phone.
Smashed mine again:(
I have 2 of them, my own one has a recurring problem with the media controller, every now and then it decides to stay on andit will chew out the batterty in about four hours, the screen gets warm whn this happens, but if I manually stop the media in the application manager, it wll stop it, it doesnt happen all the time.
The other one is great, never had a problem with it.
I dropped my 1st S3 and broke the screen.:mad:
Got another one,this time its in otterbox..:)
Does anyone know a ph place in western sydney that will/can replace the screen on the S3's.
cheers
As 85 County said - they are a DIY job if you are up to it. Have a look at the YouTube clips and see if you are up for it. I've done screens on Samsungs, IPhones, HTC's and an Ipad. The Ipad probably isn't for beginners, but the phones aren't too bad.
What I really need is a family that doesn't break there stuff so regularly...:D
S3's & 4's are good. A thousand times better than any iPhone and most Androids...
If you're still in the market... The Google Nexus' are the best though. ;) Also quite cheap in comparison. No breaks after a few drops, only a couple of dents on the casing. Screen is still 100%...
Under no circumstances buy an HTC. Mine cost me an extra $450 off the list price due to "unwarranted" issues which were not user faults. I will never purchase another, and will never speak a good word about HTC. I hope they go bust.
The note 2. All the above benefits/features but bigger ala a phablet. Love it. Brilliant device. Especially with the eyes fading
