My first replacement Note7 was 9-17-16. Picked up on 9-19.

My current replacement Note7 is 9-14-16. Picked up on 9-23

Both were Made In Korea

i bet you meant 8-17-16 and 8-19-16 for the first one.

still 9-14 seems to be the newest.

Nope, both were post recall.

Both said September.

Anything sold prior to 9-15 was deemed a bad device. The "oldest" post recall manufacture date I've seen was 8-31-16.

I also used the phone info app everyone was suggesting on both devices to find that info.

So you had 2 n7's originally and were able to get replacements on 9-19 and 9-23 or the first replacement was also replaced? How did you get a unit made in korea on 9-17, and shipped to you 2 days later?

So in looking at the same app again. I see on the first page a manufacture date of 9-10-2016 but if i scroll thru(didnt even bother looking at anything in the app the first time) I see under the android tab/section a build date of 9-17-16 at 00:32 kst. Mine was also had on 9-19. that is a lot of ocean in 2 days to go from korea to charlotte, directly or what. must have cost a few pennies.

Yup. My first replacement was picked up on 9-19. Noticed the screen issue that night. Downloaded the Phone info app. Saw it was MANUFACTURED on 9-17. Though to myself, wow, that was a fast turnaround.

Returned the device on 9-23, in exchange for the current replacement device, and installed my apps. Ran Phone info again, and saw this was MANUFACTURED on 9-14. I thought to myself, "Damn, this one is "older" than the last one. First world problems" and laughed at myself.

I read somewhere, either here or XDA, that the manufacture date is the date the phone was made and the build date is the date the software was last compiled. So I suspect your carrier last updated the software on the 17th.

That would make sense. Which is why it it get to the end user in 2 days. But why msg? I assume that's Korean standard time

FWIW - I've had 2 replacements (first replacement had screen issues and was overheating when I was placing phone calls.... Weird)

First replacement picked up on 9/19 was manufactured 9/9 - iirc.

The one I have now was manufactured 9/12 - picked up 9/28

Both mad in Korea - ATT

ATT was very interested in the issues I had... Asked me a bunch of questions... I also was the first to replace a replacement in the area apparently... So they had to call several people to figure out what to do.
