N5, all the way, there is no way around first updates plus extremely customization supported on phone. Not to mention pure android experience.
You can get pure Android experience even with S4 i9505 installing its Google Edition Rom. I flashed that once, it was just unbelievably smooth but I had to remove it since I was missing Samsung's Camera Effects and Dialer/ Contacts which are much better in TW ROM.

Ofcourse but rooting is a process not for everyone. Just saying, people can mess up their phones.

Rooting is the real fun in Android just like Jailbreaking is fun in iPhone. So many possibilities.:gg:

I love development stiff and flashing ROMS and mods. Also liked AOSP , Pure android experience. Only with i9505 you can flash Google Edition ROM of i9505G enjoying the Real experience of Nexus too..

I searched i9500 vs i9505 and there was not even much difference in benchmarks... Obviously i9505 is your best bet.

i9500 is for all those ladies who want to buy in warranty as Official Samsung Pakistan is giving that in warranty.

Ok boss, aik baat aur. Aj mrkt gaya tha purchase krny bt aik shopkeeper ny 2 packings dikhai non warranty S4 i9500 ki. Aik sealed tha wooden texture box mai 48000 ka uspy shiny tag tha *original* ka, dosra black box mai tha sealed 43000 ka. But he said *agr ap chahain to main apko yh open kr ky dikha skta hn seals hum khud lagaty hain aur yh 7 days used kits hoti hain* maine es trha ka scene first time dekha hai...

Aur online store kon sa acha hai...? IMX py trust kiya ja skta hai ky sahi cheez dain gy...?

the one i bought was in Black Box from HSN, ofcourse for Black Edition it was in Black Box, it cant be in Wooden color

You can check the video below to see, its exactly what I got.

Samsung Galaxy S4 IV BLACK MIST Edition UNBOXING / First Look / Setup - PlayIt.pk

But there two things that were suspicious about the Phone. \

First it had White Original Samsung Headphones, in unboxing videos they are all Black colored

Second, The black Edition has black wallpapers and screen savers stuff which were not present in my Phone. Mine was just like the old TW roms. I had a suspicion that mine Originally came with some Russian or German Roma nd HSN has flashed an Official European ROM in it. The box was original, I can confirm that.

But both things were not serious to consider since those wallpapers are easily available and can be copied and Black Headphones arent a must, even whites are original and working good. Main thing was S4 was original Black Edition i9505...

S4 Black Edition was selling for 52000 in Dubai Plaza here in pindi and with HSN it was for 46000, so I opted to buy from them. Experience wasnt a bad one. I am happy with my phone, its warking flawless. Spent 30 mins to check each and everything

Brother you should returned the phone or replaced it. I know you are satisfied with your phone but you paid your hard earned cash for the Black edition and accessories which comes with the package.

Your phone is Rooted by default?
Well good you got the original hands-free black colored, I got white, this again shows homeshopping.pk repack things, black Rom isn't big deal, you would have to flash other Rom anyway to get 4.3, update for black edition is going 2 b late,

4.4.2 stock Rom has FC9 at end, that's latest one

Rooted by default means KNOX warranty void already. anyway that doesnt matter, its anyway going to be without warranty.

FC9 wali I flashed on my mobile using ODIN, there is no region stuff in it. its the latest one. just flash it. you can always flash some other ROM of same 4.4.2
