how to know original samsung

hello! Now let's discuss about Real

& Fake Samsung galaxy phones because the

rate at which this cloned (fake) Versions of

Samsung galaxy, Samsung phones and other

mobile phones are infiltrating the technology

market is now very much alarming.

Most people have gotten there phones bricked,

damaged or even worst, for using different

methods such as rooting , Imei changing, etc

designated for Original Samsung phones on

there fake ones or MTK versions (Cloned)

simply due to ignorance.

This phones come with difference in both

processor, camera, screen resolution and may

look very identical to the original based on

body design & dimensions.

They are bought at far cheaper rates than the

Originals. For as low as N14,000 and then

resold at same price as the originals to

unsuspecting victims.

Though this cloned versions maybe useful to

those whom may not be able to foot / afford

the prices of the original galaxies it would be

wise you know how to differentiate the fake

from Original

How To Differentiate Between Original And

Fake Samsung Galaxy Phones

Brand Name

Look carefully on the phone's brand name

there probably will be a difference in spelling

E.g SANSUNG, SUNSUNG, SAMSAMG,

SINGSUNG instead of SAMSUNG or NOKLA,

NOKI instead of Nokia. If none, open the back

cover of the phone and check the brand name

on the battery and also at the little strip paper

inside, where Imei number is written.

Body & Weight

If you have indeed held an original version of a

particular Samsung series before, you should

notice a slight difference in size, design and

weight whilst holding a fake one. As the fake

actually do look bigger and heavier.

Processor

Samsung galaxy s5, rocks on a 2.5GHz Quad-

core Snapdragron 805 processor with a 2GB

RAM. Whilst this fake niggaz are built with

MTK Octa core processors or less.

Camera/Display

The camera, display of a fake Samsung is

generally poor compared to the real one. Takes

pictures with sizes as low as 300KB. So take

pictures with it and see how sharp it is.

Check For Features

Check if the phone has Face recognition, image

stabilization, smile detection, HD Video, S-

Beam, S-Health, S-Pen, Smart-Stay, ChatOn,

Samsung Wallet, SideSync 3.0 or Samsung

Content Viewer. I would have included

Fingerprint scanner but lately Manufacturers of

this clones are now equipping it with finger

print scanners as well.

See the image above to view one of this fake

device I saw on Aliexpress with finger print

scanner on it.

Charger Connector

The USB connector is different between the

two. Real Samsung comes with version 2.0 and

not 3.0. In v.3.0, we have two ports in one,

while the v.2.0 has one. So If the charging

point looks like the one in the above image,

RUN!!



Original Samsung devices (galaxy, Note 2/3

etc) imei should start with 356, 359. If it starts

with 8 or any other number not 3 then its a

clone.

To access your Samsung phone imei, dial

*#06# or goto Settings => More => About

phone=> Status . You should now see imei imei

there.

Language

Though the language maybe set to English,

most things on it may still be written in

Chinese

Samsung Codes Test

Finally dial this codes to see if its really

original. If it doesn't work, know its definitely a

fake.
