Hello! I need to know if the writing on this keypad is korean or chinese. Basically there is 2 variants of this phone, chinese and korean. One of them has fully english keypad, while the other one(on this picture) has some foreign markings on it. I need to know if the model i will be getting has the english variant or this variant.

TLDR The writing on the keypad(not display) , is it chinese or korean?

I am Korean, disregard the trolls, I can verify that this is Korean.

I am Chinese, I can read like 20 words in Chinese but I can tell between Korean, Chinese, and Japanese easily. They look extremely different

Korean, because Korean has more round in its symbols than Chinese.

Thanks, many people have already replied that it is Korean, but more reassurance is always nice.

Was going to just leave it as it was answered, but figured I would put in my two cents as to why I thought it looked like one over the other.

 

Korean seems to have more circles in its symbols than Chinese.  This is just from seeing the script for both side by side in tech coverage in Korea and Hong-Kong, I cant actually read either. xD

Japanese = Simple, straight forward symbols (although some more complicated ones mixed in). Usually lots of squiggly characters.

Chinese = Looks like a complicated mess. Complicated symbols everywhere.

Korean (what's in your image) = It has a lot of straight lines and circles.

yep, I would describe it as

Chinese: looking really complicated, weird. 

Japanese: Chinese with extra squiggly lines

Korean: different from other two

Japanese = Artistic Chinese

Chinese = Robot Language, The Matrix

Korean = Stick Figures and cute faces

Except Japanese use Chinese characters. How can you tell if the Japanese is written in kanji?

Yeah it's Korean lol.

I spent maybe 4 hours trying to study Korean. The hangul alphabet is easier but words a lot harder lol.

It's pretty cool though, super easy.

Japanese language uses 3 scripts - kanji, hiragana and katakana. I don't know Chinese but in Japan traditional kanjis are being used (as well as in Taiwan). In China they use simplified kanjis as well so in that case it is easy to distinguish whether it is Chinese or Japanese. Also if you see text with only kanjis it is Chinese in 99.9% of the cases. In Japanese hiragana is used after kanjis to indicate eg. verb stem etc. so for me it is easy to distinguish a difference although I am not Japanese.

 

One funny thing I encountered during my business trip to Taiwan was that kanjis for letter in Japanese mean toilet paper in Chinese （手紙） xD
