Nuisance Of Fake Phones And How To Know A Fake Phone by sirlegend: 3:06pm On Mar 21, 2018 |
The smartphone market in recent times has become saturated with fake phones and many unsuspecting buyers have been scammed into buying fake phones for the price of an original one. Fake phones especially Android phones have become so rampant that one wonders if phone dealers are deliberately taking advantage of their customers. I noticed that most of the fake phones in the market are the so called ‘UK or London Used Phones’ and fairly used phones, there are also fake new phones but they don’t seem to be as many as the used phones. Before, it was mainly top phone brands worldwide such as Samsung, Nokia, iPhone, HTC, Sony, LG, Motorola, Huawei and others that had many imitations but now even smaller brands such as Tecno, Infinix, Gionee, Innjoo and Itel are also been faked. Most of these fake phones match the original phones almost exactly in design and since most phone buyers are not tech savvy, they are very easily deceived. Many people do not know they bought a fake phone until after a while when they probably meet someone with the original version of the phone and find huge differences between their phone and the original. Even small phones popularly called ‘Torchlight phones’ have fake versions, Chai, dia ris God o! The government through regulators such as the Standards Organisation have failed in this task of regulating imported phones and protecting citizens from buying substandard phones. However, we cannot sit and wait for the government to solve this problem for us as that will be equal to waiting till eternity so here are some tips to help you detect a fake phone. Due to the way fake phone manufacturers/phone pirates are becoming more and more sophisticated everyday and the ease of installing an Android OS on a phone, it is hard to tell if a phone is fake by merely looking at it or by just its design BELOW! http://techmila.com/the-nuisance-of-fake-phones-and-how-to-know-a-fake-phone/ 2 Likes 2 Shares

Nice one op for this info, thats why I always buy phones from accredited stores, and my accessories are from reputable brand like Oraimo and romoss, an example is the Freepod 3 from Oraimo, the durability is fantastic and I have never had any regrets ever since I got it.

Nice read, always get your phones at registered stores so you don't fall victim of buying fake. Thank God TECNO have launched their store, no more buying phones from road sellers. |

I definitely always look for authorized stores to buy new products. Tecno Mobile are working towards having enough authorized stores around, they even opened one recently at Ikeja. |
