Fake Vs Original Smartphone: How Do I Spot The Difference? by Obejorstore(f): 9:43am On Jul 29, 2019
Good day all, today Obejor Online Store would be revealing to you all,something you might not have known about smartphones.
In this post Obejor.com would show you how to diffentiate between a fake and original smartphone.

Here are the tips below:
Tip 1: Compare the handset to a confirmed Android of the same model. Hold both phones side-by-side and ensure they are the same size, and then do the same for each edge. Many models come in a variety of colors, but all other details should be exactly the same.
If you don't have access to an Android, search the internet for a photo of a genuine model that matches yours.

Tip 2: Verify the materials used to make the phone. Go the website of the company that manufactured your phone and look for a page that describes its building materials. The listed materials should match your phone.

For example, if the manufacturer states that screen is made of glass and your new handset has a plastic screen, you'll know your phone is inauthentic.

Tip 3: Check the IMEI number at http://www.imeipro.info. Each phone has a unique IMEI number. Searching for that number in a database will provide you details about the phone. If the IMEI number displays information about a different model, you'll know you've come across a fake.

To find the IMEI, dial *#06# on the keypad or look under the battery.

Tip 4: Run a third-party benchmarking app like AnTuTu Benchmark.This app runs some tests on your Android and displays information about its specs. If the specs and model you see are different than what's supposed to be on the phone, you'll know your phone is not authentic. You can download AnTuTu for free from the Play Store.

Hope this article has helped you to spot the difference between a fake and original smartphone. This article was culled from https://www.obejor.com #SundayChat
