How to identify licensed and parallel imports on Samsung mobile phones?

A few simple tips to identify the Samsung water element

1. Front. Check whether the front of the phone is marked with the word Anycall. Some are licensed products, otherwise they are parallel imports.

2. Keyboard. Open the phone and check the stroke marks on the keyboard. If it is transparent, it is a licensed product, otherwise it is a parallel import.

3. Input method. If you need to change the input method to input Chinese characters, it is a parallel import. The details are as follows: Some parallel imports have no Chinese input in the default input method after turning on the computer, and you need to modify the input method before inputting.

4. Mark the nameplate. Take out the battery of the mobile phone and check the back of the mobile phone. If the nameplate is blurred, it is a parallel import. Gently scratch the IMEI number barcode with your finger. If it can be easily blurred, it is a parallel import.

5. Circuit board. Take out the SIM card and check the circuit board under the card. If you find that the phone model marked on it is not the required phone model, it must be a parallel import. For example, SGH-T108, if marked as SGH-T100, it is a parallel import.

6. Mobile phone battery. If the Chinese characters on the battery nameplate are unclear or fuzzy and small, it is a parallel import; if it is marked MADE IN JAPAN FINISH IN KOREA, it is a parallel import. Among them, especially BD (Thin Electronics), many JS will make a fuss on BD.

7. Packing box. If the printing is blurry and the text is in Traditional Chinese or all in English, or the paper quality is poor, it is a parallel import.

8. Data cable. If the data cable is roughly made and the color is dull, it is a parallel import. Through comparison, it can be clearly found that the connectors of licensed data cables are smaller than those of parallel imports.

9. Accessories. Check the mobile phone accessories. If you find any loopholes in the mobile phone accessories, you should report it in time to prevent being deceived by JS.

10. Supplied CD. If you find that the phone model marked on the supplied CD is not the one you should use, you should be careful. The situation is similar to point 5 above.

In addition, information provided by netizens:

When purchasing a mobile phone, I saw an anti-counterfeiting label on the outer packaging box of the mobile phone. Scratching off the coating, you can find the 15-digit number. For the anti-counterfeiting code, you can check it by sending the text message "Anti-Counterfeiting Code" to 2315. A text message will be returned shortly, telling you the serial number of your mobile phone. Compare it with your own serial number. If it is the same, it is authentic~ Enter it on your mobile phone “*#06#” can call up the serial number of your mobile phone.

Samsung mobile phones are divided into four categories: A goods, B goods, C goods and D goods.

Goods A are licensed goods, that is, goods purchased through authentic channels. They are mobile phones imported according to formal customs declarations and specially sold in mainland China. They are Simplified Chinese models (packaging and instructions) and are sold by Samsung stores or It is sold in large shopping malls and enjoys Samsung's nationwide joint warranty. It is directly supplied nationwide from Samsung's Beijing dealership and Shanghai branch, and can be certified on the website of the Ministry of Information Industry.

Cargo B is a Samsung model exclusively for Chinese users. It is no different from the licensed products in the mainland. It is just imported from Hong Kong and other places through illegal channels to evade taxes. Some are smuggled by groups, and some are smuggled by individual relatives and friends. Friends brought them in by themselves. Due to the evasion of customs duties, smuggled mobile phones are generally nearly a thousand yuan cheaper than regular imported mobile phones. For example, the T108 is even nearly 2,000 yuan cheaper. It is also called a licensed mobile phone. It is a mobile phone sold by Samsung in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It is in Traditional Chinese. For Samsung phones, the model (packaging and description) is the same in Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, because the menu can be set to Simplified Chinese at will, and then smuggled to the mainland from Hong Kong and other places, the functions are the same as licensed products, and there is no way to evade customs duties. Network access certificates, some places also enjoy nationwide warranty from Samsung.

C goods are generally Samsung models exclusively for the European market. After smugglers upgrade the Spanish version to the Chinese version, they smuggle it to the mainland for profit. This is what is usually called a modified version, and the modified version is more The smuggled mobile phone (B goods) is at least 500 yuan cheaper. It is the x00 mobile phone sold by Samsung in Europe and the United States. It is an E-language or other European language model. It is smuggled to the mainland from Hong Kong and other places and then imported by parallel importers using the same level of Chinese software. The mobile phone's Flash is modified to Chinese x88. Only in places like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, revisions are called c-goods. It is a local dialect or a customary method. Often only smaller businesses know these terms. (Of course I know, and now you know, this is an exception, haha)

As for D goods, they are completely inferior goods (even the ones that deceive the battery and show that the battery is low as soon as it is discharged) Toy Samsung mobile phone) or it may be to recycle the old Samsung mobile phone and replace it with a new case. All the accessories are used to make do, and the cost is reduced as much as possible. If you buy a refurbished phone, you will just...cry!

In summary:

Cargo A = licensed product: (with genuine network access certificate)

Cargo B = original machine (joint warranty machine): (We call it Shuixing here. It has the same characteristics as licensed products. Those who evade tariffs do not have a network access certificate. Even if they have one, it is fake. Some places also enjoy the nationwide warranty of Samsung)

C goods= Renovated machine: (Spanish version upgraded to Chinese version/No Anyacll)

D goods = refurbished machine

Samsung mobile phones can be strictly divided into those for sale and those for customs clearance.

What is sold is the ABCD mentioned above

Customs entry is also divided into ABCD. The ABCD here is specifically for modified machines or smuggling machines (that is, B goods and goods on sale) C goods):

Every batch of machines smuggled into the country is divided into pieces. Each piece contains 5 boxes of machines, and each box contains 5 mobile phones. One piece contains 25 mobile phones. (All mobile phones confiscated by customs look like this)

a: It is also called a ‘sharp’ phone. It is the best machine, it can be said to be the original factory, original shell and original power. There is no difference in performance from licensed products;

(Please note that the A product here is not the A product above, this is the time of sale. The above-mentioned goods B and C are divided into goods A, the same below)

b: Also known as a 'flat' phone, it is the original shell of the factory, but the battery is not real, maybe One part is fake and the other is real;

c: It is also called a 'modification' machine, but it is different from the modification machine we know. It is just an implicit name for smugglers. Such a machine, Original factory, but the shell arrives separately from the machine, which means that there are special channels to transport the shell separately, and then some js in China assemble it themselves.

d: This is the worst machine, usually a refurbished machine.
