Is it? I check out something in a store, lets say a shoe. Try it on find it comfortable and so buy it. Now they give me a new piece. The phone looks the same on the outside but the cushioning is worse. Less flexibility, more bites, etc.. Is it not a con? I agree I'm being nit-picky but why not have the same model as the one on sale as the display piece. And what actually gave it away was when I was scrolling through the camera options and the slow recording speed option came up.
Isn't it a 4x zoom as 4K is approximately 4 times bigger than 1080p?
You have written the differences between them, but what exactly are you trying to say?

Other than CPU, 4k & LTE there is no further difference.
Why samsung pushes exnos in India instead of SD is another debate.

RAM management issue with 3GB Ram ?

From one review i watched the heating issues are not as bad as with the S4. Its a different chip. Same reviewer discourages buying the S4.
RAM management issue with 3GB Ram ?

Comparing shoes with phone ahhaaaa.
I challenge u cannot find a difference in both the phone if not looking on the model number.....Also if you like the sd version u can buy that also.

Read what I said...I was fiddling with the camera and the slow mo option popped up. Then checked the model no. and saw that it was N9005. Saw your challenge has been accepted and destroyed!!!!
The shoe example was given to simplify it. I would personally want the Snapdragon version just for the camera and developer support.

SD as display model being con is a red herring argument to me.
The most helpful comment on FK is a rant about price (!)
A phone that has 32GB instead of 16GB, 3GB instead of 2GB RAM, a 5.7" amoled with a wacom that beats the G2 in sunlight visibility, is going to be pricey. Yes, the first amoled to beat an LCD in sunlight.
If 32GB, 3GB RAM and 5.7" amoleds were the norm i'd accept the charge of price being too high.
hey, who says you have to buy one today, wait a cpl of months more or longer. Lets see what bugs come out.

Read I think u need to..... what exactly u want to say.....my answer to u was u cannot find a single difference between the 2 if u leave the 4k recording, One side ur saying they are showing u something and delivering another that is why I said u cannot find a single difference between the 2.

For the most basic tasks even a note 3 clone with mtk6589 thingy will work. So getting to know whether it works faster or slower is not a question.
It is just not right that you put up a phone for demo which you are not going to sell to general public. Probably 99.99999 % people do not notice but there are some people who love custom ROMs and all and they care.
What if someone checks the phone in store and sees a 4K recording option and want the phone because of that feature and then gets a different model with no 4K.
Or buys a phone and intends to later use in the US etc over the LTE network and is surprised to see that there is no LTE at all.

Is more then a month now since it was launch and still you discussing about the sd version is there any point cribbing about that they had sd version on display and selling the exy version.
I think only one thing is left one should SU Samsung for this reason.

there are differences based on batch details, month of manufacture, and location.

I agree with people who are saying that this amounts to conning the public.
You are saying there is no difference but that is not the point that is being raised. The point is that you are showcasing a different phone and selling another one and that is both unethical and illegal. The only problem is who has so much free time on their hands to go after Samsung for this.

This is a first from what i can tell. What is the advantage ? they do not need to open any sealed models. The display models are sent back to Korea when they are done with. This might allow them to offer the note 3 for cheaper over time as there isn't a loss incurred here. But why this was done at all is still unclear.
I asked the samsung sales person why they would not sell me the SD version, they said its not being offered, i said then what's it doing here. He said its only display. At this point i told him i'm not interested in this model and walked away. My issue was they would not sell a SD version despite displaying one. So in my case, the word i would use here is 'tease' rather than con. As i mentioned earlier this is a seperate debate. There are 3 other alternatives if you want SD so it not biggie.
To someone who is oblivious to the CPU difference i don't think it will matter. With the s4 and games people have said exynos had an edge in performance over SD. I've known people abroad to prefer the exynos over the SD. Course the thing here is these people have a choice of either, we don't. Charges on FK that samsung is dumping low quality exynos in India is bunk.[DOUBLEPOST=1383217225][/DOUBLEPOST]
iFun charges a Rs.10k extra premium depending on internal storage configuration ie 16,32 & 64GB variants. When i pointed this out somebody said nand memory is expensive.

If you have seen my posts you do know i never blindly defend apple (at least i try not to). I know they make expensive products and charge a kidney.
I know some apple fanboys defend apple when its phones do not have some features which are there in other phones. That is why i used that term.
Like defending lack of 4K / LTE etc. It is not a question of usability of the feature, it lying to the customer or misguiding.

@karankapoor You challenged me to find a difference without checking the model. I told you I found the difference just because I was checking the camera out and I knew that the Snapdragon version has 4K and slow mo. Also when I pointed this out to the sales guy he said that they are the same though he did say that the one being sold to you won't have 4G. 40K+ might not be a small amount for you but for me it definitely is. Imagine my horror at buying something ad then realizing its something else. May be 40k is chicken shit for you so it could be difficult for you to realize it.
And those who will say 4K and slo-mo are a gimmick, I would definitely like these gimmicks.

Where did samsung ever claim you would get 4k/LTE in india ?
Had they explicitly stated it in marketing literature or similar and then reneged you would have a case.
4k is no gimmick.
