Differentiating Between An Original And A Fake Tecno Phone by hovatek: 11:04am On Sep 07, 2015 |
Most people seem to be satisfied with the IMEI-VC method @ http://gc.tecno-mobile.com/ . Its even more surprising to see many popular Nigerian Tech. blogs chorus this same inadequate approach without scrutiny. The IMEI-VC test is inaccurate because all that's required to pass this test is to change the sticker behind the phone and write some info. to the phone. We decided to carry out a research by comparing fake/cloned Tecno phones to original phones (side by side) and it was only a matter of time before we encountered a fake Tecno M3 that passed the IMEI-VC test flawlessly (just as we expected would happen soon). I'll be discussing some of our findings in this thread to help you better differentiate an original from a fake Tecno phone. Please * If you're a die-hard IMEI-VC loyalist and not willing to listen then you can just click the back button instead of arguing unnecessarily. * If you're Anti-Tecno then please, don't try to troll; we've done the same for original Samsung vs Cloned/Fake Samsung and other popular phones (Infinix just might be next in line if these pirates are still who they are) so this thread is aimed at helping, not arguing superiority or inferiority Visit https://plus.google.com/116652750662576629438/posts/PdPvTZtCr42 if you wish to go ahead of the techniques i'll be listing here. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Guys, this isnt an inferiority / superiority thread it you use an iPhone, there are fake ones it you use a Blackberry 10, there are fake ones it you use a Samsung, there are fake ones it you use a HTC, there are fake ones so far what you use has a good market, you can bank on finding a fake somehere! and guess what, most people who tout these brands cant even differentiate an original from a fake. 1 Like |

Alright: Lesson 1: Why the IMEI isnt a reliable method. When Carlcaresophia posted a thread on tracking a lost Tecno phone using your IMEI (refer to https://www.nairaland.com/2122383/how-disable-stolen-mobile-phone) and I quote Carlcaresophia: You can imagine my reaction after reading that thread. Changing the IMEI on an MTK phone is hyper easy, GLO BIS 101 & IMEI Tweaking 101 The same method used to fix a null IMEI can be used to change the IMEI . the video below sheds more light on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAK1DL_L_eg * Summary: An IMEI is far from being a reliable criteria. |

Nsonaso: You're lost! So Tecno released M3 that runs on Spreadtrum Chipset abi? Your ignorance knows no bounds. Tecno has sold very well in Nigeria so they're worth cloning if for nothing else, at least, their market share. He who doesn't know, and doesn't know that he doesn't know is a fool, ignore him! |
