pc guru:

post the pix of the samsung S4 with the OS on, also how long have you been using Android

kayswag100:

Sir, I totally disagree with u. How on God's earth would u dare to say 'sometyms a used lasts longer than new' ? On what f&*ing basis?

Any phone you buy depends on the way u use it.

answer this cheap question. Does a used phone have warranty?

oga, you can always demand for an exchange if your brand new has manufacturing defaults.

moonraker:

My friend, no pictures, no case, period!

ewizard1: Hmmm!!!
When it comes to Android, only ones who knows what to look out for would fish d original. Camera Resolution, Memory and Some stock apps can help you fish it out.

For someone asking how London Used Phone can better New...
An inported London used Phone would last than the New shipped into Nigeria cos it said they manufacture device to best standard if ita to be sold in their country, which means you can neva compare it to the ones Manufactured to be brought to Nigeria.
For example.. A london used AT&T branded Phone would last longer than a New one.

@Jereyz Samsung has the most clones because its the device in town and the china peeps know people are rushing to have one.
If Tecno wasnt from China, there would have been millions of the clone cos they know say naija peeps fo larimo like mad

youngbilly1:
God nawa o why some fools like this just few nairaland sef. The name is the same, same battery, same air gesture thing, same shape, same OS, same everything only the picture quality and the storage capacity. There're not only one fake version of S4 get it in your head, there one that its S4 but when you remove the battery and turn it to the other side you see the name "sinsung".

youngbilly1: Am suprised no one or company is to be trusted in Nigeria, a friend of mine was at ikeja and bought a used Samsung S4 at Affordables Phone,i gave him my trust about the company but to my suprised they sold him fake korea S4 for N65k. On getting there for a refund we couldn't get a refund but we picked another phone.

Where am driving at is when we checked other stores for the New Samsung S4 it was the same korea Version so we moved to SLOT, we got to slot check the phone out it was original in the display cool! on getting home charging and turning it on it turned out to be a korea version WTF! We complain and they changed it for us. I wanna let everyone here know how to spot a fake S4 and the Original, pls don't be deceived by anyone, both the fake and real looks alike software wise and hardware wise and even the pack.

How to spot a fake S4
1. The camera has a poor quality, when you check the pixel it stops at 8mega pixel while the original is 13mega pixel.

2. The fake has Voice Search instead of S Voice

3. The memory of the fake S4 is 1.8gb instead of 16gb like the original.

4. The screen resolution is poor.

5. If you are buying a used S4 goto samsung office and see the features and resolution of the S4 then you can compare what you're buying when you get to computer village.

Cheers.

youngbilly1: God bless you this new year

pc guru: I can spot a fake Samsung S4 even with my eyes closed, but come on even looking at the OS is a give away, the day i buy a fake product that is a phone, i will end my life. How can you not know unless you don't know your phone well

emeritus00: Bro... xcept u av used d fone b4 u cnt differentiate d fake frm original even if u av read everitin abt dem online bcs al d specs u read ar dere 2 c. They exactly d same in terms of software and hardware. The grapics of s3 is almost d same wit original s3 wit al d functions bt s4 graphics is nt as sharp as original bcs of it high resolutn.

pc guru: But this one is so easy to spot, Samsung uses a certain font and even the notification of samsung's touchwiz is very unique

pc guru:

As a developer i got to see and play with lots of Android devices even the China ones, no matter how much its been faked, one thing they can never fake is the OS, which i will definetely open to test, God Forbid am paying 95k and can't open the phone to test, you should always remember China Phones are China Phones meaning inferior products, they will obviously use something of a poorer quality, if i ever come across a china phone which emulates everything in a phone from scree, to graphic card to memory then i might as well use the china version

pc guru: What am saying is this can't be faked


and if it can which i doubt then that's a tough copy to crack

Bandit C.:
Isn't Samsung a korean company. What is with the "fake" korean remarks?

Or are there now two Samsung companies in Korea, one real and one fake?

My guy, the fake Samsung you bought isn't from Korea but China.

Next time, learn how to read phone specs properly to even understand what you are attempting to buy.

I don't know about Nigeria but all mobile phone retailers always have an exemplar of the phones they sell on display for customers so that they can go through it before purchasing.

If they display something different from what customers receive in sealed packets, then it's a crime.

Worwor: This man is talking rubbish.
1* galaxy s4 has different version and spec
2* there is nothing like fake Korean
3* if they are the same both hardware and software wise, then they are the same

Always get your fact right before rushing to create a thread.
