What is the difference between the Huawei mobile phone demo machine and the real machine?

Hello, let me answer this question.

The various mobile phones placed on the booth of Huawei's physical stores are demonstration machines provided by the manufacturer, and are mobile phones for customers to experience in person. Of course, there are also mobile phone models on display, but that’s another story. So what is the difference between the demo machine and the real machine?

1. Different functions.

The demo machine limits the use of some functions, including fingerprint recognition, restore function, download and installation function, folder function, etc. It will automatically play function demonstration videos in standby mode, but the real machine does not have these functional restrictions. , and the function demonstration video will not automatically play in standby mode.

2. The functions are different.

The main purpose of the demonstration machine is to demonstrate functions in the mobile phone store and provide customers with experience. During the demonstration stage, sales are generally not allowed. The purpose of the real machine is to sell it to customers.

3. The mobile phone systems are different.

Because the demo machine is for display, the default system is the demo system. If you want to use it normally, you need to flash the machine and reinstall the official system. The default system of the real machine is the official system.

4. The models after activation are different.

At present, the activated model of the demo machine starts with 3A, the model of the activated retail machine starts with M, the model of the activated official machine starts with N, and the model of the activated official machine is Start with F.

The above is the difference between Huawei’s demo machine and the real machine.

The so-called demonstration is a sample for customers to see. It is the machines that are placed on the table for people to play with when you go to a Huawei physical store. These are the machines that Huawei gives to authorized stores for free as a display! It's really "everyone can do everything". As a display item, the quality is passable. Of course, it is definitely and absolutely authentic.

According to Huawei staff, the display machine is not allowed to be sold to the public. It is only used to show customers the operation of the mobile phone. There is no difference between the hardware and the real machine. You can also make calls and send text messages. It is just the software. There are differences - restricting the use of some functions. "The system of the demonstration machine has been modified, limiting fingerprint recognition, restoration functions, downloading and installation, etc."

The capacity of the demonstration machine is basically only 16G, because after all, it is used for display, so the lower the cost. The better, 16G is enough, why use the expensive high-capacity version. The firmware of the demo machine is pre-flashed, and there is an additional demo software, which cannot be restored, cannot log in to the ID, automatically locks and changes to automatically play animations and other functions. The regular demo machine packaging box does not include headphones, conversion cables, data cables and charging The device is no different from the retail version, which means the document folder also has the same card pins as the retail version.

Demonstration machines are not allowed to be sold during the display stage. Unless a new machine comes out and the machine is not ready to be sold, it will be sold. Of course, nothing is absolute. For Chinese businessmen, especially scalpers, there is no product that cannot be obtained, including Huawei display phones. Some retail stores and Apple took 20 demo machines, but in fact only 10 test machines are enough in the store, then they will sell the remaining 10 units, so what you buy may be a brand new demo machine machine. Last time, a buddy asked his wife in the Huawei store to get a brand new, unopened demo phone. After flashing, it looked like a normal phone. Someone once bought one for 4100. Are you surprised? There are also some super newbies who get so excited about playing in the store that they directly ask someone to issue a ticket. They realize that it is a demo machine only when they find that there are no headphones. However, few people nowadays are so stupid. . Sometimes the clerk at the dealership accidentally picked up the wrong one or deliberately violated the regulations, violated the customer's right to know, and sold the demo machine to the customer at the retail price. If you are caught doing this you will be fined heavily.

Many people choose to buy a demo phone because it is cheaper than an official replacement phone. If the demo software is erased, it will be exactly the same as a retail phone. Huawei’s after-sales system will not distinguish between a demo phone and a normal phone. , the warranty is exactly the same, so as long as the demo machine is purchased from a regular retail store, you can use it with confidence.

However, if you didn’t buy it through legitimate channels, there’s no guarantee that something might be wrong inside.

Is there any difference between Huawei’s demo machine and the real machine? In fact, there is no difference. I worked in a large mobile phone store for a period of time, and there happened to be a Huawei demonstration machine. There are two kinds of Huawei demonstration machines in our store, one is the demonstration machine officially provided by Huawei, and the other is the demonstration machine provided by our company. Responsibility, use a brand new machine as a demonstration machine. The final store will choose to sell the demo phone at a discount after a period of time. It is 20% off initially. If it does not sell, it will be 30% off. The lowest is usually 40% off. It's pretty fast. Although it's a demonstration machine, it usually won't cause major damage when placed in a store. The price after discounts is still very impressive. The store clerk will also inform customers that they are selling a demonstration machine and when to unpack it. No matter what the damage is, this kind of large brand store that has been doing business for a long time is still trustworthy. After all, it is doing long-term business.

In addition, there are Huawei's official demonstration machines. Huawei bears the price loss of this kind of machine. It is only used for demonstration purposes. It will also be sold as a demonstration machine in the future, but this kind of sales is more troublesome. Some require Huawei to agree to authorize you to sell this demo machine. The demo machine will have Huawei's own demo system software, which will continuously play the demo mode in a loop. Because some demo systems cannot be turned off unless the battery is exhausted. Otherwise, it will automatically turn on after you turn it off. When you finally sell the demo machine, you need to professionally delete the demo system and then sell it as a demo machine at a discount. The demo machine has different codes in the store to distinguish the demo machine from the real machine. However, There is no difference between the demo machine and the real machine in terms of performance and functions, and the configuration is also the same.

Hello friend, I am quite clear about this aspect. Let me give you an answer:

There is no difference between Huawei's demo machine and the real machine in terms of product appearance, material, configuration, and hardware. The real differences are as follows:

1. The built-in software is different. Huawei's demo machine has There is a built-in demo program with unlimited playback and cannot be uninstalled. The method of flashing and removing is relatively complicated, and all of them are paid items.

2. Huawei’s demonstration machines are mainly distributed through two channels. One is for offline retail stores, including Huawei authorized experience stores and Huawei retail partners; the other is for use in marketing activities. .

3. How to use the demonstration machine? If the phone is not flashed, Huawei will officially push the system update software when the model is about to be released. After the update, it will be no different from a normal commercial phone and can be used normally.

4. What are the disadvantages of the prototype? First, demonstration prototypes are usually placed in stores for continuous playback. When they are about to be released from the market, they are generally used for more than 10 months. The loss of batteries and systems is generally much greater than the loss of personal use; secondly, The after-sales service of the prototype is not covered by the warranty, and if there is any problem, it will generally require paid repairs.

I hope the above can answer your question. In addition, Huawei demo machines can also be purchased, because the price of the demo machine is relatively low, similar to the price of second-hand mobile phones. If you need any advice, you can also buy it from the regular Channel purchase.
