Placed the order during the 10.10 flash sales and received it on 14.10.. item is well protected as you can see from the photo.. Indeed is the global/international version and not the China version.. used it for gaming and can feel the better gaming experience with no/lesser delay.. nice phone!####[['phone', 'Overall#Overall', 'positive'], ['delay', 'Signal#Signal General', 'positive'], ['protected', 'Product Packaging#General', 'positive']]
