Also I would like to know if I can get the Android update 4.4.4
Okay , so I bought that phone for as much as 100 $ and after I examined it , both labels : the one an the back of the phone after you remove battery and the battery label say " Made in Korea by Samsung " .
From searches on google , it says that this phone is a Chinese clone , however I don't see anything lacking on it except 4G service and the battery which is 2800 mAh , but it drains very quickly...
I read that updating at Android 4.4.4 must resolve some battery issuies ,,
So , is this phone original & can it be updated? Currently I run Android 4.4.2
Thanks!

The G9006V is China Unicom version and is legit. But it doesn't have google services in its stock rom. You'll have to root and install the gapps yourself. Regarding the battery draining very fast, I think the battery is probably a fake one. You can try if the NFC works or not, as the fake ones are most likely to not have the NFC chip in it.
