Identify and distinguish the originality of the smartphone

Verification of the authenticity (authenticity) of the smartphone and detection of counterfeiting.

How to detect a fake
Counterfeit devices are mainly manufactured in different Chinese and Taiwan mini factories, so they are all different from each other.
There are no guaranteed signs that can distinguish a fake device from its original appearance: sometimes fake devices can be distinguished in the body elements, others on the screen, and still others in the inscriptions.
Basically, you need to know how the original device works: system versions, processor, screen, graphics shell, and more.

Therefore, the only way to distinguish a counterfeit from the original is to have the device inspected by a qualified professional.

Also pay attention to the translation quality of the menu items.
The translation on the original devices is of high quality, error-free, the notes are only in English and Russian. So far, the Android system has not been fully and qualitatively translated into Uzbek (Latin script), so we recommend that you check the system by translating it into Russian or English.
On fake devices, Chinese characters may be used in menu items, the translation itself may not be clear, and the phrases may seem illogical.

Just in case, check the IMEI number of the smartphone at https://uzimei.uz/ (the only useful feature of this system that I know). But the result does not guarantee 100% originality of your device.

Where counterfeits are sold.
Often counterfeits are sold manually and on free classified sites.

Manual sales:
Someone near the subway, train stations, supermarkets will offer you to buy a smartphone or tablet at a low price and explain the discount as an urgent need for money. Usually, there is even a check and warranty card. The seller is in a hurry, constantly talking to you and not allowing you to properly review and inspect the device. He can tell you that all his money and documents have been stolen, that his children are waiting for him, that he is late for the plane. In general, he will do his best to make you feel needed or embarrassed and give you your money faster.

Selling on free classified sites:
You will find ads with very low prices on the site. When you make a call, they may come up with another myth that the smartphone already has a buyer or that will motivate you to buy it. Often the price is explained by the fact that the device is given as a gift, but the seller has another smartphone or tablet. Questions are answered with general phrases or catchphrases. They make an appointment near the subway, shopping or business centers, almost never calling to the addresses of residential buildings. When you meet, they will rush you and show you the device in a well-lit area at night. After the sale, they will delete the phone number or blacklist you.
