Is it possible to tell apart a Nexus 7 LTE US unit and an EU unit?
As in, I'd like if there is any indication on tablet itself (either when it's powered on, or off - a label, SKU number, or by serial number)?
Also, is there any indication on outside of the box, if the unit is still sealed?
Thanks.

Hey folks,
I just made an ebay purchase for an A8183.
I recieved it today and the box barcode and labeling match the imei and model number, but under the status setting it says A8181. The back says next g and telstra plus the box matched the sellers description.
The seller is allowing me to return it. So everyone planning to scoop one up, make sure the seller sends you a picture of the status page under settings, and it says a8183.
peace
My Desire is A8181 as well. What's the difference?
Frequency for hsdpa/umts. a8183 is for att in the usa.
it's possible that the seller flashed an A8181 ROM. if you haven't done so already, did you test to confirm you could/could not use at&t 3G? what is the model number under the battery? A8181 or A8183? i mention this because if i used a UK ROM cook's European ROM on my Telstra Touch HD, it would show a UK ROM number. it didn't matter tho, i could still connect to at&t 3G. oh yeah, my HTC Telstra HTC Desire also says A8181, but i can connect to at&t 3G without a problem. the seller flashed a UK ROM on the device.
I got a feeling your right, because everything matches under the battery. It says a8183, but the status page under settings shows a8181.
The build number as I investigate show test keys in their tag.
What radio are you using? Its the baseband I believe.
Any suggestions?
Yeah I am using the nextG branded and I got it from the telstra shop, so it is legit, but I just checked mine and it says 8181, though mine has been rooted, did its have any of the telstra cooked in crap or not? if not then I would say it was actually legit.

Presumably you are using this on AT&T in the US. If so, if you can get a 3G connection, it's an A8183 and you are good to go.

Definitely AT&T, the lack of 3g is what tipped me off. But there was no telstra software apps, just branding and packaging.
Also the baseband was not the same as the Telstra specs, and the rom version was not found anywhere within xda or google. I think the kernel version ended with the word test keys. 1.21 and
But I got my refund and reordered an unopened today from A GA company.
Is it possible that the radio or rom was to blame for the lack of 3g. I think it can from my should I say lack of experience porting android over windows.
Caint wait... I have been having withdrawal syptoms since I did the return. Suddenly my free backflip is awkward and dull.
peace,
Hello, can anybody tell me the size of both boxes?
here a link that compare them:

*or is there a way to know from S/N or other number on the box, if it made for UK or other Europe country? I just want to be sure that I buy the variant that sold for Europe, so I would not need to buy adapter for UK plug, as I live in Israel, I asked local shops, they all say it's Europe variant with EU charger, but most sell them in sealed boxes, so I cant be sure what inside, not even sure if they can allow me to open box before I pay $$, thank you all for help.
You could always buy a usb adapter if you don't get the right plug?

I know I can, but don't want to, just want to be sure that I buy original Europe package, and not the UK one that is bigger, so any one can measure the boxes for me?
Seriously what is the world coming to these days.

Hi there, I've just received my Galaxy Nexus (i'm in the UK) and it seems to be an american model? Model number behind the battery is GT-19250M, but the sticker on the box is GT-19250TSGGEN? The phone also came in 2 boxes-the Samsung retail box with a 2 pin american power adaptor and that was in another box with a UK 3 pin plug. Before I use the device I just wanted to know from you guys if the USA model has HSPA+? Is the european model different? Do I need to send it back? Cheers

The International GSM gNex & the US (Play Store Device) have the same hardware, an I9250 is going to be HSPA+

I'm confused, I recently bought the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML and it clearly is the Chinese version as it has CN on the box and the inside plastic cover is written Chinese too. What I do not get is my firmware which is the ww version out of the box. It clearly reads on the packaging ZenFone 2 Z00ADB and ZE551ML which I'm sure is the Chinese version. I have updated to the latest ww firmware which I got off the ASUS website with no problems occurring. I'm just curious as to whether my device may be dodgy or not and was wondering what experienced owners/users think.
Did not see the other q&a thread so delete this one if you need to.
Where did you buy it from? If from a Chinese vendor they often load the ww firmware on the phone before shipping, the only difference is that if in the states or Canada or Mexico you won't get the 4G/LTE bands, there are a number of people here at xda who are trying to resolve that problem.

It was new of eBay. I believe the seller may be Chinese but it was all bought here in the UK and wasn't shipped as it was listed as UK stock. I've got no problems with the device, 4G on my EE SIM works fine. I'm just curious I've not got a dodgy device. It has a ww firmware out of the box and all the packaging is Chinese even that plastic cover around the device which highlights the specs.
I'm currently browsing in Qatar and keep seeing N930X as the model number for the displayed Note 7s in various different shops - Is this the Middle-East regional variant or is the "X" part of model number just used for display handsets??
What model number does your Note 7 have if you have purchased it in the Middle-East? Is it Dual-SIM??
dubai - n930fd
I live in mexico, and the displayed units have that 930x too, the model sold here is 930F, so, I think that the "X" indicates a demo unit
Philippines, X is also the display unit and FD is sold here.
Finland, N930X is the unit in the stores and N930F being sold.
Thanks people - so to confirm, N930X = a demo unit model number.
I managed to check the retail box today (...should have done it before posting this thread, duh!) - I can confirm that in Qatar it is N930FD (dual-SIM).
Now to decide if I should go for it or still stick to my Note5 for now in the unlikely hope of custom ROMs to extend its appeal-life......
man, if you found some help, do not forget the thanks button
I need help putting another n930 variant on n930x

Only way to make it work like a phone is to change the mainboard. The X models are demo unit with all the functions except cellular.
