Did you buy a Verizon Galaxy S 4 made in China or Korea?

This is a continuation of the former thread in the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 forums:

The location of assembly is printed on the bottom of the box, the back of the box, and on the battery. On the battery, will say "Made in Korea, Assembled in ____" or "Made in Japan, Assembled in ____"

EDIT: It looks like all Verizon stock is made in China, not sure where people are getting the Korea from unless they have AT&T:

Also forgot to add - there's a fourth place where this can be found - on the battery slot itself (with the battery removed, of course).

Interesting you brought this up, as I was reminded of this exact thread. There appears to have been a difference in quality on the GNex units based on location of manufacture/assembly. Unclear whether the S4 will suffer from the same dynamic.

Mine was made in Miami, Florida.

China..............

My battery says manufactured in youngbo. Does that mean it's Korea?

If you pull out the battery, it should state the country of assembly on there.

Youngbo is a chemical company in Korea, though.

Never mind, the battery is made in Korea, the cell still says assembled in China (parts are apparently from Japan).

It appears that there are no U.S. Galaxy S4's that are made in Vietnam.
