How To Know If Your Android Phone Is Fake Or Original by Olasco93: 4:40pm On Nov 28, 2015 |
Mobile Markets are filled with Fake Phones and they selling them as Original even with Branded tags beside it the replica phones are present in the market that looks similar to the original phone, to check whether your phone is original or fake there are two ways of checking it. These methods will help you a lot while buying a used cell phone. 1. First Check the following Features : Be careful about the spellings For example, Soniericsson, Nokla, Techno and Samsvng Warranties: Always insist on 12 months warranty certificate from the handset manufacturers; Never an oral agreement with the seller. Fake phones come with a shorter warranty periods since counterfeiters cannot guarantee it will last so long. Check for performance of the handset: Some people carry their phones home without testing it first. Some dealers encourage this, knowing the handset is fake. As you check it out, you may notice some points of low performance such as memory which is smaller or poor quality photos. Appearances: like dull colors , Fake logos,built quality difference in weight, screen size, location of buttons and battery, quality of printing and paint finish, added or missing functions, quality control stickers and holograms and an overall lack of quality. 2. The other method is checking Phones quality through 15 digit IMEI code: Dial *#06# IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a 15-digit number and may be found in the packet of the mobile phone. It may also be found by removing the back cover and it may be placed on the battery sticker. The number might be as below: 3 6 9 3 9 5 [b]0 1 2 3 5 5 6 7 8[/b] Now look at the 7th and 8th digit. These two digits will ensure your phone’s quality! If the seventh and eighth digits are 00 this indicates your cell phone is manufactured in Original Factory which ensures the best quality. If the seventh and eighth digits are 01 or 10 this indicates your cell phone is manufactured in Finland which is high quality. If the seventh and eighth digits are 13 this indicates your cell phone is assembled in Azerbaijan which is too bad. And it is also dangerous for health! If the seventh and eighth digits are 02 or 20 this indicates your cell phone is assembled in Emirates which is very poor quality. (NB: Some Indian sets have this number) If the seventh and eighth digits are either 03/30 04/40, this indicates your phone is made in China but its quality is good. But not good either as 00, 01 or 10. If the seventh and eighth digits are 05 or 50 this indicates your cell phone is manufactured either in Brazil or USA or Finland. If the seventh and eighth digits are 06 or 60 this indicates your cell phone is manufactured either in Hong Kong, or China or Mexico. If the seventh and eighth digits are 08 or 80 this indicates your cell phone is manufactured in Germany which is fair quality. This will help you to pick the good one. Try it. But, remember, these tips may not work with the Sony Erickson Mobile Phone. Though the above information has been collected from very reliable sources, 1 or 2 of them may slightly vary. I hope this help. 68 Likes 19 Shares |

In most cases yu can easily tell if a phone is fake by mere looking at the screen resolution. Fake phones use to have this kind of pale and irritating screen. The UI is completely terrible with very ugly fonts. 8 Likes |

Ur criteria on serials is void. . Most phone parts are made in china (except for probably apple devices) and assembled in various countries depending on the market they are intended for. . If u see a chinko replica or chinko android wanabe, d font, menu and screen resolution or quality would always give it away. .. The file manager is the simplest means to find out a chinko. Just open d file manager and voila. ... 4 Likes 2 Shares |

This is for which phone model? Nokia or what? Op, do you have idea how IMEI are coined?? These are following parts of an IMEI: Type Approval Code (TAC): 6 decimal places, centrally assigned. Final Assembly Code (FAC): 6 decimal places, assigned by the manufacturer. Serial Number (SNR): 6 decimal places, assigned by the manufacturer. Spare (SP): 1 decimal place. Thus, IMEI = TAC + FAC + SNR + SP. It uniquely characterizes a mobile station and gives clues about the manufacturer and the date of manufacturing. What you refer to is the old IMEI numbering system where location of manufacture can be found in the imei TAC: **-**** - FAC: ** - indicating where phone was made. SNR: *****- uniquely identifying a unit of this model CD: if it is a GSM Phase 2 or higher SVN: ** - The "software version number" identifying the revision of the software installed on the phone. Be double sure of what you post. 7 Likes 2 Shares |
