Hi! evening to all in the house.....
So I've been looking to buy a new phone, Samsung galaxy A5 2016 to be precise,.. but then after my research on the phone, I realized that there is an influx of cloned Samsung phones in the market...and nothing scares me more than buying a cloned Samsung phone. ... I have been a victim of fake phones once...can't afford to loose again.
please, I'll need phone geeks, phone engineers e.t c in the house to give me tips on how to spot a fake and genuine Samsung galaxy A5 2016....
tips that I can actually apply before buying the phone.
nt the types that required one to download an app first, cos derz no way I can download the app before buying.

Mods please help a sister, move to front page...I need truckloads of advice

the screen display and camera quality is enough to spot a clone Samsung galaxy A5

but how do I know? I have no genuine A5 to compare it with.

peculyachi:

dial *#0*# on the phone

dial *#0*# on the phone

so if I do this, what's to be my expectation? what will I see, that will enable me identify its authenticity?

it seems like it only works on samsung device ,an interface will pop up to test the basic features.just buy from a reputable store around you

Simple dial *#06# and count the imei number if it's 16 good to go, but less than or more than run for ur money

Download an app on play store known as genuine galaxy or copy the imei and paste them into imei checker website it will tell you information about the phone model manufacturer etc

Dial *#0*# for Samsung test and also particularly
Dial *#1234# to see phone model version identifiers AP, CP, CSC

Copies won't show...
