Spot The Fake HOT 4 - Simbrave's Experience by Simbrave: 5:33pm On May 25, 2017
I own an ORIGINAL Infinix Hot 4 and after Saturday's incident of exploding Hot 4, I sought out to have a feel of the fake Hot 4 so as to point out the difference between both phones.

On the hardware side, the first visible difference is the front camera. The Original Hot 4 has it front camera located on the top left while it is found on the top right corners on the fake. Secondly, the charging port is at the bottom left of the Original Hot 4 while it is at the top centre on the fake.

Coming to the Software aspect, a noticeable difference can be seen with the UI on both phones. When you are on LockScreen mode with the fake phone, you will notice the fingerprint/lock screen icon in between the Call Key and Camera Icon at the bottom of the screen while there is an absence of fingerprint/Lock Screen Icon on the Original phone. Camera mode wise, the Original phone has the Gallery Icon, Shutter Icon and Video Icon at the bottom of the screen while on the fake, you only have Camera icon at the middle bottom of the screen.

I also found out that when you connect the Original Phone to the system, you get the Name of the Device has Infinix Hot 4 whereas if it is fake,
names like Phatom6, OLIVER, HINTOM are what the computer will display. I will advise anyone who wants to purchase this phone to buy from Infinix authorised dealers so as not to fall victim of this fake device.

@ ogobaby23
I greet you righteously.
.
Funny You But It's Not Necessary The Doings Of Aba Boys.

I hate to admit it, but the whole town is flooded with fake Infinix products, fake battery, fake charger even fake device.
.
As a matter of fact the other day, a fake Note 2 was spotted on the all famous Jiji. Posted by an individual I believe.
.
Yours could not neccessary be fake but, HEY! It's a plus one to you, being able to identify a fake Infinix phone.
.
Spotting a fake product is easy, i believe so. It's the more reason why i always advise people to know the phone they want to buy, google and confirm the specs and price before going to the store.
.
In an article i highlighted how we (phone Pandas) confirmed the Note 2 on jiji to be fake.
.

hope it helps

It is called constructive criticism.
It's a very well thought out article (which a lot of us would not have thought to write), but the pictures would make it easily understandable.
Please OP, can you get some "visual aids"

it's not about spewing thrash, pictures is part of evidence at least he got a hands-on experience with the fake. Here is my own Hands-on experience with HOT4(fried itself) last week(with pictures)
