It is true that thousands of people have been lured into buying fake android phones (Samsung, Itel, Infinix, Tecno) because of their cheap prices, but it is also true that the motivating factor behind their mistake is a lack of awareness.

 
Why are there Fake Android Phones?

The reason for fake Samsung, Infinix and Tecno phones is because Samsung galaxy, Infinix and Tecno phones run on android and android is an open source operating system. The source code of the OS is open to all interested parties under open source licenses.



With this, most phone manufacturers take advantage by creating the counterfeit of popular devices. And these companies are doing well in the art of manipulating consumers into buying their knock-off phones at very low prices.

 
How to Identify Fake Samsung Galaxy Phones

1. Check Samsung phone IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number.

The IMEI number is a unique number for every smartphone. So it is important that the device IMEI will be similar to the manufacture box IMEI number. In other to check the IMEI Number of your Samsung device, simply dial *#06#.

2. Samsung Code Test

In an original Samsung phone, you will get some software and hardware info by dialing some codes from dial pad. Simply dial the following codes from the dial pad.

*#1234# (View SW Version PDA, CSC, MODEM)

*#0*# (Samsung General Test Mode)

*#12580369# (Device SW & HW Info)

*#0228# (ADC Reading)
