If you've got the phone with you and it's on, there are ways to check if it's an original Sammy.

However, if you don't have access to the phone - only the sealed box, then the best way is to check the IMEI info. This doesn't absolutely guarantee you sha. IMEI can be faked. One can get a phone and make it display the IMEI of a Galaxy S7. So, don't put all your hopes on IMEI.
you guys are still getting wrong i said Imei of a phone must shows the real information of your phone also know that one Imei cannot be put on two phones and different phone one Imei is main for one .....shikena

I can see that you're a learner in this field. One IMEI cannot be on more than one phone? I laugh at you in Hungarian.


If I have an S7 clone, and I want to make you believe it's original, all I have to do is get the IMEI of an original S7 and make it the IMEI of the clone. Also easy to print the IMEI on the box of the clone. If you get the sealed box of the clone, and check the IMEI info online, you'll see Samsung Galaxy S7. Doesn't make it original. Simples

As much as this info is quite valid and valuable, do you know you can still fall victim of scam?...
All they gats to do is change the imei to that of an original phone.
Even they recognize the original ones... So all they do is collect that and tweak other devices with same imei.

Just read thru the second page to see someone has cleared the air on that.
People are indeed learners!.

The guy still dey insist say e go know grin

What can I say? A little learning is a dangerous thing. E better for person not to know of IMEI at all, than for person to believe say IMEI go totally prove genuineness. At least person wey no sabi at all go dey more cautious than person wey put all im hope for IMEI.

Don't mind the guy. He bough a low end Hauwei y3. A Chinese entry level phone, of course u don't expect it to be of high quality. Slot do not sell FAKE Samsung phones because it is Samsung that supply them, so how can Samsung supply fake phones?

The only way i know of now is booting the phone to odin mode. that is (vol down + home key + power button). i think that original odin mode has not been clone yet. the fake samsung display different odin mode from the original.

The only method I check the genuineness of a Samsung phone is to connect the phone to Samsung Kies in a laptop. Samsung Kies only detects original Samsung phone.

Can you please teach me the ways to identify cloned Samsung devices Sir?
