How to distinguish between licensed products, parallel products, 14 secret machines and refurbished mobile phones?

*#92702689# The call time is displayed as 000000: 00, not for renovation.

1. First of all, it is certain that parallel imports and licensed products are produced by regular manufacturers. Parallel imports do not mean that products are mixed with water. Don't treat parallel imports as fakes. At present, the technical integration of mobile phones is not backward enough for people to copy, unless it is OEM products, such as Kejian and Samsung, Lenovo and LG, Shouxin and Nokia, etc., but it is also a formal transfer of property rights. Therefore, there is no essential difference between parallel imports and licensed products. You don't have to look at parallel imports very badly.

2. So what's the difference between parallel imports and licensed products? The answer mainly lies in the different differences in regional sales and services. The so-called concept of parallel imports is only a regional sales concept, or you can roughly and mainly regard it as a service concept accompanying regional sales, rather than an essential concept. In fact, at the time of purchase, we can see that a valuable service of the manufacturer is virtually tied up in the branch company in the product sales area. Whether it is necessary or not, the cost is different.

1. Mainland licensed goods (Line A): those mainly produced in China and sold in China market are called mainland goods. All licensed machines in Chinese mainland can get free warranty service in the customer service center. In some areas, the purchase invoice must be presented, and Nokia Continental Bank can not repair the invoice warranty. Sony Ericsson can insure without invoice, but only once. Sony Ericsson has a copy of the invoice, which can be guaranteed many times, but there is no original. Mainland licensed machines all have network access licenses. Certificates can be displayed under purple light.

2. Mainland licensed products (line B): Generally, it refers to changing the serial number of machine writing software in Hong Kong into mainland licensed products, and most machines can enjoy nationwide warranty.

Third, the original parallel imports (European version of the machine, parallel imports): there is no warranty in Hong Kong mainland, and it is sold in Europe, so it is called Eurowater. Generally, English versions are changed to Chinese versions, so some of them are called Eurovision. Generally, the keys have no Chinese strokes, and the instructions and packages are in English, and most of them are input in simplified Chinese. This version is also easy to recognize, the keyboard is clean, only English+numbers, no Chinese strokes (why do foreigners need Chinese strokes? ), the fuselage may be customized by European operators such as O2 or Vodafone, and the European version of the mobile phone has a great feature-it is made in Finland, Nokia's hometown. Personally, considering the strict industrial standards in Europe, if it is not necessary to use the stroke input method, it does not matter whether the keyboard has strokes or not, then choose this version first. It can't explain why Nokia designated the machines sold in Europe to be original in Finland. I am full of confidence in strict European industrial standards and the particularity of Finnish manufacturing. If I care about originality, I will choose the original European version. After all, I personally think that the original keyboard with strokes must not stand the test of time. You can also talk about the price on the grounds that "this is the European version, not the Asia-Pacific version you sell". (Recommended, but buy an original keyboard without strokes)

4. Arabic version: (also known as Latin version, West Asian version, Thai version ...): This version has a unique feature-the tadpole-shaped regional characters on the keyboard, which I think are ugly, I would rather not, hehe, the price of this mobile phone is lower than that of the European version and the Asia-Pacific version, and the original keyboard of this mobile phone has no Chinese strokes. Not recommended

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Asia-Pacific Edition: Currently, it is mainly sold in Chinese-speaking Singapore. The original keyboard has strokes, and the original system has simplified Chinese. The place of origin is complex, which belongs to the industrial integration process of packaging Nokia accessories in the world base, so the place of origin is very vague. "Made in Nokia" is not guaranteed in mainland Hong Kong, but sold in Europe. The prices of general merchants are higher than the European version and lower than the so-called Hong Kong banks. This is a natural China machine. There is no difference between the hardware and the operating system (Hong Kong Bank has traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese, and the Asia-Pacific version only has simplified Chinese), and it is superior to the European version in software. The disadvantage is the high price. (recommended)

6. Hong Kong licensed goods: mainly imported from Hong Kong, sold and guaranteed in Hong Kong. Now Nokia and Motorola's Hong Kong banks can guarantee in Chinese mainland (but the original Hong Kong invoice is required). If not, it can only be guaranteed in Hong Kong. There are simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.

Generally speaking, there are three kinds of licensed products in Hong Kong (Nokia only), one is the licensed version of the regular agent, which is the most common, the other is the licensed products directly wholesale with Nokia by seven major operators, namely, Okanagan Valley, Broadway and Okanagan Valley (at present, most invoices entering the mainland are in Okanagan Valley), and the third is the customized products of some telecom operators (such as CSL, 3HK, etc.) to Nokia factories.

Among them, the first edition and the second edition are both zero editions, and there is no difference between the machines themselves. The machines of the seven major operators are easy to distinguish, and generally have the logo of telecom operators. For example, the 3HK version has three characters, and the software is customized, which is different from other versions.

At present, all the "Hong Kong banks' markets" in Chinese mainland: Having said that, there are basically no licensed Hong Kong banks sold by js in Chinese mainland. Yes, there are basically no Hong Kong banks (I really want to say absolutely not, leave some room). Because of the high licensed price and low profit in Hong Kong, js will not buy or sell this machine; Moreover, only so-called Hong Kong banks with official sales documents in Hong Kong can enjoy Nokia's warranty in the Mainland. At present, the Hong Kong banks in js are all European versions of the Hong Kong version of the operating system, which is what js calls Hong Kong banks. The Bank of Hong Kong means that the operating system is from Hong Kong, while the origin of computer hardware is actually from Europe. Therefore, if you want to buy a real Hong Kong bank, there is only one way to buy it yourself in Hong Kong. Of course, if you think you are an excellent rp player and meet a js with a conscience, you would rather lose money than sell your real Hong Kong bank, then it may indeed be a Hong Kong bank. The original system of Hong Kong Bank has two languages: traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese, and the others are not much different from Asia-Pacific. Unless you have special requirements, there is no need to insist on buying the Hong Kong version. The origin of Hong Kong banks is also ambiguous "Made in Nokia".

Therefore, I don't recommend Hong Kong Bank. After all, it is hard to believe that there are banks in Hong Kong in js now. The so-called Hong Kong Bank must have been modified by the European version or the Arabic version. Crows in the world are generally black, and many js are not gamers. They don't know what a Hong Kong bank is, and they think that js in traditional Chinese is a Hong Kong bank. Forgive them, you can only cultivate your own eyes!

7. Australian machines: mainly from Macao, imported more, sold and guaranteed in Macao, not together with the original goods in Hong Kong, and can not guarantee each other. Now Nokia Australia can also guarantee in Chinese mainland, generally called Hong Kong Bank (but the original invoice is required), but it can only be guaranteed in Chinese mainland if it has the national warranty label of Nokia Supreme Store. If not, it can only be guaranteed in Macao. There are simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.

Note: Parallel cargo plane does not mean water inlet machine, and different sales areas do not mean that there is a problem with machine performance. Finally, don't forget to look at the place of origin when you buy it!

The above versions all refer to the original brand-new mobile phones. At present, there are the following types of mobile phones modified by js:

(1) The European version adapts to the Asia-Pacific or Hong Kong version: Because the keyboard of the European version is relatively clean, it is convenient for js DIY, and the technology is not complicated, and considering the profit difference between the European version and the so-called Hong Kong version-Marx said-as long as there is a profit of 10%, capitalists will take risks ...-In js's last home (Big js). The identification method is very convenient. Please keep in mind the method of origin identification. As long as it is made in Finland, no matter how gorgeous your Chinese interface is, it must be made later. 100% is sure.

(2) Arabic version is changed to Asia-Pacific or Hong Kong version. The Arabic version of the keyboard is too fancy, and it is useless to carve strokes by laser alone. Generally, it is disassembled for imitation or genuine Asia-Pacific keyboard. This is the worst modification, which destroys the originality of the machine. It is also possible to buy an imitation keyboard, which is not recommended. Recognition is also easy to recognize. Look at the attached instructions in the tadpole, but the keyboard is a standard Chinese keyboard, so be careful.

6. Refurbishment machine: that is, the second mobile phone is replaced with a shell and a package, and parallel imports can be replaced with new ones. Some parallel imports are licensed, and the renovation of licensed products is not guaranteed. They are all parallel imports, refurbished or mainly sold as new machines. Now all the people who do decoration are more professional. Generally, the original shell and original accessories are used, and there is no original goods for packaging. So most of them are assembled, the process is rough, and the paper in the manual is not as good as the original one. Renovation is mainly supplied to the new machine market. The refurbished ones are only sold at a loss and will not be sold as second-hand mobile phones. Therefore, players who buy new machines should pay more attention, mainly not to be greedy and cheap. Because the price difference between refurbished machines and brand-new machines is very big, it is easy to attract players who want to buy new machines cheaply.

Refurbishing a mobile phone is actually collecting the original movement, shell or outer packaging for maintenance or processing, and then selling it as a new machine. There are many kinds, mainly including:

1. Old machines with circuit board problems are repackaged for sale after maintenance or parts assembly, and their performance is the most unstable;

2. The shell of the normal old machine is sold as a new one after being treated or replaced;

3. Irregular channel vendors' machines are sold as new products after being refreshed and repackaged by software, which lacks the stability of general software for such machines.

These refurbished machines have a common feature, that is, they can't enjoy after-sales service like regular licensed products.

Here is how to identify the experience of refurbished mobile phones. Let's have a look.

★ Look at the serial number (IMEI)

The serial number of a mobile phone is just like the ID card of a mobile phone, and each mobile phone has a unique IMEI number. Generally speaking, it can be used to judge whether a mobile phone is genuine or not. The discrimination method is as follows: enter * # 06 # in the standby state of the mobile phone, and a string of numbers displayed by the mobile phone is the serial number of its motherboard, so write it down; Remove the battery and look at the serial number on the white label in the two labels on the back of the fuselage. That is, the serial number of the chassis, and the other label is generally the network access license. Whether it is consistent with the previous figures; Look at the IMEI number on the box of the machine and compare the three to see if they are all consistent. If the serial number of the motherboard is different from the serial number of the chassis, then the machine is probably repaired or assembled, so don't buy it. If the three serial numbers are the same, plus the network access license, it can basically prove that the machine is genuine, but it can't be 100% sure, because JS can fake everything now, the serial number of the motherboard can be written by computer and software, and fake serial number labels and network access licenses can be bought for a few dollars. In order to be cautious, we should continue to verify from the following aspects.

★ Look at the outer packaging and instructions of the machine.

The packaging and instructions of the regular new machine are beautifully printed, mostly on coated paper, and the fonts and images are very clear and layered, while the counterfeit packaging boxes are mostly simple one-sided paper imitation, with rough fonts and images, blurred printing handwriting, and many instructions modified by informal channels are even copied. There are also some refurbished machines that use original packaging boxes and instructions, but after all, the machine is old, the packaging box must be worn, and the instructions must have traces of use. You can find it when you buy it.

★ Look at the network access license

There is really a watermark on the network access license, and the surface color is uneven, deep and shallow, thick and thin; Most of the fakes are imitations, and the surface color has not changed. If you can't see it, you can also use the money detector to look at the network access license. Is there really an anti-counterfeiting pattern in it? It will present a red "CMII" pattern. The false pattern is blurred. The real network access license is usually printed with a stylus printer, and the figures are clear. Look carefully at the dent caused by the pin, but the fake network access license is printed by an ordinary printer, the number is not very clear, and there is no dent. Generally speaking, it is difficult to fake the network access license, after all, the equipment cost required for fraud is relatively high. In addition, you can also check the authenticity of the network access license through online inquiry, which will not be explained in detail here.

★ Look at the phone case.

When you open a new machine, you will obviously notice that the "key parts" of the machine are covered with films for key protection, such as internal screen, external screen and camera. As long as these parts touch, they will leave fingerprints. When you see the fingerprints on the new machine, don't listen to JS's explanation. In addition, dust and traces of use are inevitable when renovating the machine. The gap between the upper and lower casings of the machine, the gap around the keyboard and the charger slot are all places where it is easy to "hide dirt and shelter evil people", and the rotating shaft of the clamshell machine will also leave traces of use, so special attention should be paid.

★ Generally, the casings used for renovating mobile phones are original or carefully processed old casings, so the front and rear parts of the casings of mobile phones are easy to close loosely and have a large gap. The identification method is to try whether the fingernail can be inserted into the gap between the upper and lower covers of the mobile phone. If it can be inserted, the housing is assembled. For machines that don't replace the shell, JS sprays it with water mist similar to detergent before selling, and the surface of the old shell immediately presents a matte effect similar to that of the new machine. If you don't check carefully, JS will get away with it.

However, it won't be long before the paint on the shell falls off. When you buy it, you must carefully observe the shell, because JS technology is no matter how good it is, and it is not as advanced as the original one. If you look carefully, you can see a small particle, which is dust, because it is not done in a vacuum room when painting.

★ If it is a clamshell machine, you can also check the joint of the clamshell machine, because sometimes, even if JS handles the surface of the machine well, these places will inevitably leave some traces of dust. In addition, check whether the screws of the fuselage are brand new and whether there are any traces of screwdriver screwing. More importantly, many new mobile phones have obvious sandalwood smell, while old mobile phones and shell changers generally do not have this smell, or the smell left during processing.

★ Look at mobile phone accessories

The new machine of the regular manufacturer has a full set of original accessories, at least one charge and one charge. The accessories of refurbished mobile phones are generally incomplete or not original. Before buying, it is best to go to the relevant website to find out what the original accessories are standard, so as to avoid JS buckle accessories. In addition, if scratches are found on the plug of the matching charger and earphone, then this mobile phone is probably not brand new.

★ Look at the usage record.

Look at the records of games, short messages, phone books, call records, homemade ringtones and other items in the mobile phone.

If so, the transformation is highly suspected. In addition, during normal use, the machine often shuts down or crashes automatically.

Then it can be said for sure that there is something wrong with the motherboard or software of this mobile phone.

★ See the warranty

Ask the dealer about the warranty period of the machine and ask for a formal invoice. Refurbished mobile phones cannot enjoy all the rights and interests stipulated in the "three guarantees" of regular mobile phones.

Therefore, there is generally no warranty period or a shorter warranty period. If the seller says they are responsible for the warranty, they can't agree, because regular mobile phones are generally guaranteed nationwide. If the seller can't do this, then there must be something wrong with the mobile phone.

★ Look at the price

As the saying goes, greed is cheap, and big losses. Before buying a mobile phone, it is best to find out the price of the mobile phone in the local newspaper or website. If the price of JS newspaper is "very cheap", be on your guard. Such a "cheap" mobile phone is either a refurbished mobile phone, an informal channel product, or an accessory that is "short of weight". It is recommended to buy a mobile phone in a regular store with good reputation and heavy service, and the three guarantees are complete? Valid invoice and three-package card. In this way, the legitimate rights and interests can be guaranteed when the machine has problems.

★ Smell the smell

Most new machines have a special smell of electronic products when they leave the factory, which is by no means imitated by ordinary perfume. A similar fragrance can be smelled on the newly manufactured computer accessories. Refurbished ones generally don't have this taste. Even if JS is fragrant, it is by no means the smell of a new machine.

Seven, charger: charger is mainly used for a short time, you can't see that it has been used, and some licensed products still have a warranty. The mainframe and accessories are all original, and there are licensed parallel imports, and the price is relatively cheap. I really don't know whether selling such a machine is a good thing or a bad thing. It is best not to tell yourself, so the psychology will be more parallel.

8. Splicing machine: Splicing machine is also called assembly machine and parallel installation machine. Mainly based on parallel assembly, because it is generally bought in a small factory and assembled into a finished machine. That's why it's called a trigger. It's a big quality problem. Because in the production process, generally speaking, parts without sound function will not be installed in the machine. (For example, 83 10 only has a base frequency of 900Hz, and there are no high frequencies such as 1800Hz, 76 10, 66 10, 6 100. ) Generally, the trigger only returns to production for machines that sell well, because they can afford it. (For example: 82 10, 8250, 83 10, 72 10, 7250, 66 10, 6 100, T6 18. Similarly, the board is only for second-hand sellers, and players who buy new machines don't need to worry about not buying triggers.

Nine, revision machine: revision machine is equal to women disguised as men, such as T6 18 to T628, 82 10 to 8250. The main reason is that the same motherboard is easy to transform. Mainly use the revision machine. You will only be scolded to death if you buy a new machine. So friends who buy a new machine don't have to worry about buying a revision machine.

Tips: The mobile phone market is extremely complicated, and refurbished machines, chargers and trigger machines can be seen everywhere. I solemnly remind every customer that besides paying attention to the price, please pay more attention to what kind of machine you bought!

What is the secret of ★ 14? In foreign countries, such as Europe and North America, network operators have such a service: you only need to open a number in the network, sign a usage agreement, pay a certain phone bill every month, pay enough for two years, and give this mobile phone a trial period of 14 days. If you feel dissatisfied, you can cancel the agreement and return the mobile phone to the network operator. This is a bit similar to the prepaid phone charges launched by China Mobile and China Unicom. The difference is that foreign services are more humanized, and there can be a "probation period 14 days". If you are not satisfied with it, you can change to another model at will within 14 days. It's up to you whether to use this network or not. All you have is this 14 day machine. The machine has good color, and the product color is 97~ 100%. It's new and has a full set of original accessories.

★ Is the parallel plane a refurbished machine?

Generally speaking, parallel imports are things that have not entered the China market through formal customs declaration, but most of them are new machines (except 14 model and second mobile phone). Because machines in foreign markets are cheaper than those in China, especially because of the time lag between domestic and foreign new products and the fact that machines listed in the mainland are not sold well for various reasons, many unscrupulous businessmen take risks to get them back and earn a huge price difference, which is huge (a lot).

However, most parallel planes are absolutely brand-new (except foreign garbage). When they enter the shore, they are just like computer parts. Recently, they are rarely packed (except for Asia-Pacific ports) to ensure brand-new.

★ What is the reason for the poor packaging and mismatch of parallel imports? As mentioned above, most of the parallel imports come from Logger Vick, and the accessories are all made in China (licensed products are basically made in China). Some merchants will be equipped with authorized packaging, manuals, chargers, data cables and CDs. Such as Samsung and Motorola. These machines may have original accessories, so there is nothing to say. As for Hong Kong banks, theoretically they should all be all-inclusive. But most other parallel imports and accessories can't be original, such as box instructions. Which merchant would be stupid enough to take such a big risk to smuggle these worthless things back (of course, occasionally)? This is just a battery on the top of the machine. Therefore, it is normal to pirate boxes, manuals and even assemble chargers, especially some machines that are not listed on the mainland. As for the phone number and box, it is more normal. The box is domestic and the mobile phone is foreign. How to check the number?

However, most of the batteries of parallel mobile phones should be original, unless some models really have little original electricity and can't be found. Some enterprises rely on batteries to make profits and use group electricity instead. Generally, the original power is more than thirty or forty, especially the batteries of Samsung and Sony are expensive. Electricity is only tens of dollars, so be sure to say hello before you buy it.

★ Is the quality of parallel imports worse than that of licensed products? Is the quality of parallel imports better than that of licensed products? Both of these statements are wrong. As far as the mobile phone itself is concerned, no matter how many parallel products are licensed and there is no perfect machine, some problems will inevitably occur. It is meaningless to say that the quality of parallel imports is poor.

In fact, a considerable number of Hong Kong banks and Asia-Pacific aircraft, especially Samsung and MOTO, are basically made in China, which are exactly the same as the licensed products, but the packaging is different or the inscriptions on them are different, which is far from poor quality or good quality, and only depends on individual differences.

A considerable part of the poor quality of parallel imports refers to software problems, and the hardware is absolutely fine. Some mobile phones can't brush licensed software (in the past, the memory of parallel planes was small, and Chinese characters accounted for two bytes), so they had to change them themselves. Some experts rewritten the software or something. From the immaturity before to the maturity now, generally speaking, most of the rewritten software has no problem, and a few are unstable, which is prone to screen display, crash and screen display error.

To say that parallel imports are of good quality is nothing more than saying that parallel imports are made abroad and their workmanship is better than domestic ones. This is also untenable. There are indeed some machines made in Finland, such as Nokia. The quality of the machine is good, but it is not absolute. There is no reason to say that domestic production technology must be worse than foreign countries. Why not just set up factories in China for Intel and Samsung? You don't have to sell yourself short. Many electronic products labeled with foreign products are simply assembled and produced in China, and then go out to become imported products to cheat money (such as Sennheiser). Of course, this is a normal phenomenon of market and production needs.
