How to identify genuine and fake mobile phone
In addition to the fake cell phone on the market posted a “big” of counterfeit goods, there is a refurbished machine, is to collect the original movement, or outer shell repair or processing, and then sell the machine as new machine. Consumers should pay attention to when purchasing a phone recognition.
Watch mobile phone shell
Open a new machine will be very obvious to note, and really when compared false work is generally more rough, the color does not look bright. In the machine “critical position” has a key protective film to do, such as the internal display, external display, camera, etc., as long as contact with these parts, it will leave fingerprints. When you see the fingerprints on the new machine, you can probably determine the phone problems, and not easily believe that the dealer explained. In addition, traces of dust and the use of refurbished machine is equally difficult to avoid, the gap between the upper and lower case machine, the space around the keyboard, as well as the charger slot, etc. are easy to “filth” in place, flip the machine’s hinge will be used to leave traces, also needs special attention.
Look at the packaging machine and manual
Formal specification of new packaging and printing machine fine, mostly coated paper printing, fonts, and images are very clear, layered, and the packaging was fake and mostly ordinary single-sided paper copy, fonts, and images are very rough, illegible printing Many non-formal channels or even the modified copy of the manual.
Although there are some refurbished machine is used in the original box and manual genuine, but after the machine is old, must wear their packaging, instructions are also there must be used at the scene, pay more attention to the time of purchase, you can find.
See network license
Really have a watermark on the network license, the surface of the color is uneven, with a shallow depth, Rough is fine; but mostly fake copy, surface color does not change.
If you do not see it, you can also use the network license Detector according to what is really there and will be showing a security pattern in red “CMII” pattern. The false pattern is blurred.
Real network cards are usually printed with a dot matrix printer, digital clear, close look at the dent with stylus, and leave the network license is an ordinary printer, digital is not very clear, no dents. In general, the network license is more difficult to fake, fake, after all the necessary equipment costs are higher.
See serial number (IMEI)
IMEI as the phone card, each machine’s IMEI number is unique, in general, one can determine which machine is genuine. Determine as follows: In the standby mode, enter * # 06 #, the phone displays a string of numbers that its board serial number, to note; remove the battery the machine to see the back of the fuselage two white label The serial number on the label (ie, chassis serial number label is usually another network license) is consistent with the previous figures; look at the machine’s IMEI number on the box, compare the three, to see if all the same.
If the motherboard serial number and chassis number string is inconsistent, then this machine is likely to be assembled after repair or parts, do not buy. If all three have the same serial number, coupled with a network license, basically you can prove that this machine is genuine, but not hundred percent sure, because businesses now what can be false, the motherboard serial number and use of computers Software brush writing, fake serial number
Label and network license is a few pieces of money can buy, as a precautionary measure should also be more comprehensive and integrated authentication.
Watch mobile phone accessories
Regular factory new machine with a full set of original accessories, at least “one electric charge.” Refurbished cell phone accessories are generally not complete or is not original, the best to go before the purchase-related website to find out what are the standard of original parts, in order to prevent merchants cheated.
In addition, if we find matching charger and headset plug on the scratch, then this phone is also most likely not new.
Use records to see
Take a look at mobile phone games, SMS, phone book, call records, ring tones and other projects have not used the record, if any, there are very large renovation suspect. Also in normal use, the machine automatically shut down or crash frequently, you can say for sure that the phone’s motherboard or software there are certain problems.
