Now I will tell you some signs which are seen in a Samsung fake mobile, if your mobile also has this sign, it means that your Samsung mobile is fake:

 

1. Price: If you go to a mobile store and there you get a Samsung mobile whose price is less than the market price, then it means that the Samsung mobile is fake.

 

2. Packaging: The packaging of the original Samsung mobiles is very high quality, branding is clearly visible and the logo is at the right place and the packaging of a fake Samsung mobile is of low quality and looks different from the packaging of the original Samsung mobile and misspelled words are also used in those packaging.

 

3. Build quality: High quality materials are used to make the original Samsung mobiles and the cover of the fake Samsung mobiles is flimsy and their weight is less than the original Samsung mobile and some of their buttons may not be working properly.

 

4. Software: Samsung Company make their own software for their mobiles, if you have a different software in your Samsung mobile, then it means that the mobile is fake.

 

5. Camera: Original Samsung mobiles take photos on high quality and the fake Samsung mobiles take a picture of blurry or pixelated quality.

 

6: IMEI Number: Every original Samsung mobile has a unique IMEI number and the fake Samsung mobile does not have an IMEI number.

How to check if Samsung mobile is original or fake?

 

First method: So first of all, if you want to check whether a Samsung mobile is original or fake, you have to go to the call application of your mobile and there you have to dial *#06# code and after that you will get 2 to 3 IMEI numbers there, you have to copy the IMEI number at the top and then go to this https://www.imei.info/ site and paste it there and you will get your mobile information.

 

If you do not get the information of your mobile by entering the IMEI number then it's mean your Samsung mobile is fake.

if you dial *#0*# code on call application of your Samsung mobile and after dialing you do not get that option, then your Samsung mobile is fake or those model numbers are not matching with each other then also it's mean your Samsung mobile is fake.

 

What should I do if I already bought a Samsung phone and suspect it might be fake?
