How can pirated mobile phones be seen?

The first trick is to look at the mobile phone serial number (IMEI)

The so-called mobile phone serial number is just like the mobile phone ID card. Because the IMEI number of each mobile phone is unique, it can generally be used to judge whether a mobile phone is genuine or not. The discrimination method is as follows: Input in standby state of mobile phone? #06#"? Excluding the quotation marks, a string of numbers displayed by the mobile phone is the serial number of its motherboard, so write it down; Remove the battery of the mobile phone and look at the serial number on the white label in the two labels on the back of the mobile phone. That is, the serial number of the chassis, and the other label is generally the network access license. Whether it is consistent with the figures recorded earlier; Look at the IMEI number on the mobile phone box and compare the three to see if they are all the same. If the serial number of the motherboard is inconsistent with the serial number of the chassis, or even the serial number of the motherboard is not displayed or a series of strange numbers or symbols appear, then this machine is probably repaired or assembled by different parts, 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 unscrupulous merchants can fake everything now, and the serial number of the motherboard can be written through computers 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.

The second trick is to look at the outer packaging and instruction manual of the mobile phone.

The packaging and instructions of regular new mobile phones are beautifully printed, mostly coated paper, and the fonts and images are very clear and layered, while the counterfeit packaging boxes are mostly simple one-sided paper imitation, and the fonts and images are very dry and rough, and the printing handwriting is blurred. Many instructions modified by informal channels are even plagiarized. There are also some refurbished mobile phones that use original genuine packaging boxes and instructions, but after all, the machine is old, and its packaging box must be worn, and the instructions must have traces of use. Pay more attention when you buy it.

The third measure is to 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. And the fake 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.

The fourth measure is to look at the phone case.

When you open a brand-new mobile phone, you will obviously notice that the "key parts" of the mobile phone are protected by the manufacturer's film, such as the inner screen and outer screen of the new mobile phone and the lens of the camera phone. Because as long as these parts touch, they will leave fingerprints. So when you see the fingerprints on your new phone, don't listen to the manufacturer's explanation. In addition, dust and traces of use are also inevitable when renovating mobile phones. The gap between the upper and lower casings of the mobile phone, the gap around the keyboard and the charger slot are all places that are easy to "shelter evil people from evil practices", and the hinge of the flip phone will also leave traces of use, so you should also pay special attention.

Generally, the shells used to renovate mobile phones are all original, or the old shells have been carefully polished. Therefore, the front and rear parts of the mobile phone shell are easy to close loosely and the gap is relatively large. 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 they can be inserted, this is an assembled shell.

For those mobile phones that have not changed their casings, the merchants will spray them with a layer of mist similar to detergent before selling, and the surface of the old casing will immediately have a matte effect similar to that of the new machine. The buyer got away with it without looking carefully, but it didn't take long for the paint on the shell to fall off. Be sure to look at the casing carefully when you buy it, because the technology of the merchant is no matter how good, and the original equipment is not advanced. If you look closely, you can see a small particle? It's dust, which is caused by not working in a vacuum room when painting. If it is a clamshell machine, you can also check the joints of the clamshell machine, because sometimes, even if the manufacturer 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.

The fifth trick is to look at mobile phone accessories

If it is a new mobile phone from a regular manufacturer, it should have 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 products. Before buying, it is best to go to the relevant website to find out what the original accessories are standard, so as to avoid the accessories being deducted by vendors. In addition, if scratches are found on the plug of the matching charger and earphone, then this mobile phone is probably not brand new.

The sixth measure is to look at the usage record.

See if the games, short messages, phone books, call records, homemade ringtones and other items in the mobile phone have been used and left behind. If there is, there is a great suspicion of renovation. In addition, in the normal use process, if the mobile phone often shuts down or crashes automatically, then it can be said that there is something wrong with the motherboard or software of this mobile phone.

The seventh measure, look at the warranty.

Ask the dealer about the warranty period of the mobile phone 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, so there is generally no warranty period or a short 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.

The eighth measure, look at the price.

As the saying goes, greed is cheap, and big losses. Before buying a mobile phone, consumers should first know the price of the mobile phone in the local newspaper or website. If the price quoted by the mobile phone dealer is "very cheap", you should 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". Consumers are advised to buy mobile phones in regular stores with good reputation and good service, with complete three-guarantee vouchers, valid invoices and complete three-guarantee cards. In this way, when there is something wrong with your mobile phone, your legitimate rights and interests can be guaranteed.
