Hey guys I have spotted an incredible offer on ebay where theres an imported samsung galaxy s5 for sale at just rs.25000.Samsung Galaxy S5 Copper Gold | eBay This is the link.The seller states that fingerprint scanner and GPS will not be functional in india.The former is something i can live without.But the lack of GPS is a hard pill to swallow.Is there anyway to make GPS functional,like flashing the device with the indian SGS5 official ROM? Please advise

Lol yeah. HD IPS screen, 1 GB RAM, Extreme Quad core CPU, 720p video recording, not only a fake, a bad fake.

Add 7k and get yourself an original s5. This is definitely fake. You can also try Galaxy Alpha if you like Samsung! Else I'd say Get LG G2.
