How to tell whether a mobile phone is genuine or fake when buying one?

About mobile phones: the latest explanations of licensed products, parallel imports, Hong Kong products, European versions, etc. I believe you are not very unfamiliar with these terms, and you may be a little confused. Now list some similar mobile phone terms and explain them one by one: 1) Licensed goods 2) Cross-border goods 3) Parallel imports 4) Hong Kong version 5) European version 6) Refurbished phone 7) Recharged phone 8) Triggered phone 9) Clone phone 1) Licensed products. The licensed products we refer to refer to licensed products from mainland China. What is domestic licensed product? Domestic licensed products are products that have been approved by the manufacturer and have been authorized by a certain merchant or sold directly by a branch of the manufacturer in a designated area. The price of licensed products is often relatively high, but because of the official local agent , product warranty and after-sales service are often more secure. Warranty for domestically licensed products: Warranty service provided by the manufacturer’s customer service center. The assured purchase index is: 9. Reason: After-sales service is generally not very good, so I give it a 9. 2) Cross-selling goods. Cross-border goods are also a type of licensed goods, and people in the industry call them speculators. Let’s just say cross-selling exists in every country and region (I haven’t been to other countries, but it must be there in China, because that’s what I do). Because licensed goods have to pay a lot of taxes, the price is relatively high, and the consumption level of each region is different, which leads to the eventual emergence of cross-selling. Today's cross-border trade is no longer a simple south-to-north water diversion project. It can be said to be very dark and corrupt! ~After-sales guarantee, same as licensed products. Because the goods you get from some regular stores may have passed through my hands. The safe buying index is: 8 Reason: The key point is that people who are trying to get things done may not be able to check things carefully. For example, last time I sent 200 1100 mobile phones to a customer. I told them they were unlocked, but they were sent to them without inspecting the goods. Later I found out that it was not unlocked at all. This is still a trivial matter. It would be depressing if it were a clone machine. So give it an 8. 3) Parallel imports. To put it simply, it can be said that it is a mobile phone smuggled in from other countries and regions without going through customs. This term refers to parallel imports in a wide range, including European versions, Hong Kong and other licensed products from other countries and regions, cross-selling products, recharges, clones, refurbished products, etc. It may be easier to understand that it is smuggling all kinds of goods from our mainland to the United States. The United States will call all these goods parallel imports. Parallel imports generally do not come with warranty, except for capable merchants who will undertake the warranty themselves. I would like to add that the previous parallel import refers to the European version. Safe Buying Index: No evaluation. Reason: Parallel imports include many varieties. Can't generalize 4) Hong Kong Bank, I guess everyone's eyes will be brightened by it. To be honest, so am I. Hong Kong banks are licensed products from Hong Kong, the same as licensed products from China. The quality will be better than that from mainland China. There are a lot of traditional Chinese characters that need to be messed up, and I personally think they are harmful to the computer. All in all Hong Kong is good. Although Hong Kong and Guangzhou are very close, it is troublesome to go back and forth, so many merchants simply do not provide warranty services to Hong Kong companies. NOKIA said it is a nationwide joint warranty, but that is just what NOKIA said. Do you think dealers in mainland China are willing to repair it for you? In other words, there is a gap in after-sales service, and official upgrades actually cost money! Buy with confidence index: 7 Reason: No after-sales service, rinsing the machine may cause harm to the machine. But its quality should be better than that produced in mainland China. 5) European version. In fact, this is the real parallel import (because Hong Kong is also a part of China, so it can be regarded as smuggling. Alas, China's tragedy). The definition of the European version should be like this. Mobile phones produced in place A are to be shipped to place B. In the middle, someone evaded tariffs through some channels and entered the Chinese domestic market for sale. So, the European version is licensed in a certain region. What about the warranty? The warranty can only be provided by some merchants. Buy with confidence index: 7 Reason: No after-sales service, rinsing the machine may cause harm to the machine. But its quality should be better than those from mainland China and Hong Kong. But there are also specific origins. So giving a 7 means that it is almost the same as the Hong Kong bank. 6) Refurbished phone: According to the mobile phone industry, this kind of phone is refurbished by cleaning some recovered second-hand phones with chemical liquids, replacing the casing, adding batteries, chargers (fake) and packaging and selling them as new phones. machine. Generally speaking, China often sends these goods abroad. So it is not difficult to imagine that other countries will do the same. This is why some people have prejudices against the European version and the Hong Kong version. No warranty. The promise given by some merchants is that repairs are guaranteed within one month.

What's abominable is that many JS machines are sold to you as new machines. Buy with confidence: 2 Reasons: Although they are fakes, the motherboards are all original, which is fine for some friends who just want to use it first. 7) Recharge a new phone. This kind of mobile phone is a very new mobile phone that some mobile phone dealers have taken back, or a mobile phone that some telecommunications companies in Hong Kong or other countries give to the Internet. Many people in those areas will regard the mobile phone as a second-hand mobile phone after playing it for a few days. Sell ??it, and then sell it through smuggling. In short, the concept of recharging a new phone is that the phone is almost the same as a new phone, without any damage or scratches. In fact, the distinction is very simple. Some machines that are not sold in mainland China are available in Hong Kong (such as Sagem). Safe purchase index: 5 Reason: These goods can be said to be second-hand Hong Kong products. The affordability is relatively high because there are more players in Hong Kong. 8) Trigger. The board machine is also called the assembly machine. The concept of board machine is very vague to everyone, but in popular terms, it is to assemble a non-original machine board, a repaired machine board, or a machine board with useful parts removed from a scrapped machine, and then install the casing yourself. Mobile phones that are equipped with batteries and repackaged for sale are collectively called tablets. Triggers are the most harmful and may explode! Safe purchase index: 0 Reason: There is no need for a reason, don’t make fun of your life. 9) Cloning machine. You can tell what it means by looking at the name. It means COPYing a series of DDs such as the serial number of the licensed product, and copying it to another machine. The original cloning machines were relatively poor, and some of the current cloning machines are so fake that even the workers at the maintenance point do not know whether they are genuine or fake. But most of them can be identified. No warranty. Safe purchase index: I don’t know how to evaluate it. Reason: No one will buy a clone machine on purpose. Generally, they are just fooled. Identifying licensed products 1. Network access license ⑴. Network access license: the recognition mark of relevant national departments. For NOKIA mobile phones, the network access permission mark is usually affixed to the battery slot, which is a rectangular label with a light blue or light green mesh pattern. The upper left corner of the label is the striped CM logo, and there are four lines of text on the right side of the label; ⑵ , The first line: Located in the middle right position on the label, a unique set of Chinese "Network Access Permit" or "Network Access Trial"; The second line: License number, the format is 02-＊＊＊＊-＊＊＊ ＊＊＊, the last six digits of the old model: 99＊＊＊＊, the last six digits of the new model: 00＊＊＊＊; The third line: the mobile phone model, corresponding to the specific model of the mobile phone; the fourth line: Line: Scrambling code; ⑶ Summary of network access license: The authentic network access mark is printed on anti-counterfeiting paper with clear handwriting. If you illuminate the entire label with the ultraviolet light of the banknote detector, you will see a red luminous anti-counterfeiting line in the middle. You can see the red fluorescent "CMII" words on the right side of the line. If you touch the surface of the label with your hand, there will be an obvious bump outside the anti-counterfeiting line; ⑷.

"The mobile phone is already in "Registered with this center", it is recommended to enter the scrambling code information for further verification; b. "This mobile phone has not been registered with this center", it is recommended to go to KF for testing to confirm that it is licensed and you can enjoy the three-guarantee service! ⑸. Go to the local NOKIA Customer Service Center (KF) for testing and confirm that it is licensed; 2. Check the IMEI code of the mobile phone ⑴.

Battery and outer packaging ⑴. Battery: Mainland licensed mobile phone , the labels on the batteries are all printed in simplified Chinese, while parallel imports are mostly in English. A real battery has a neat appearance with no unnecessary burrs. The outer surface has a certain roughness and feels comfortable, while the inner surface feels smooth. Fine longitudinal scratches can be seen under the light. Moreover, the real battery label has clear writing, a battery label corresponding to the battery type, the marked manufacturer's font outline is clear, the anti-counterfeiting mark is bright, and it looks three-dimensional.

The regular labels are beautifully printed and have clear fonts. In addition to the manual and other accessories, the licensed packaging box also contains a three-guarantee certificate for the mobile phone. The counterfeit labels are printed very rough, the fonts are blurry, and the parallel-imported mobile phones do not have a three-guarantee certificate for the mobile phone.

The screen stickers of new phones are very neat; ⑵ Check the battery contacts to see if there are many scratches; ⑶ The packaging of the machine, battery, accessories, etc. Whether it has been opened; ⑷.
