Ways to identify fake Samsung smartphones

Criminals will likely sell fake smartphones on classified sites or pop-up stores where devices with Samsung logos are displayed.

If the phones are packaged, they will usually be packaged in nondescript cartons with a Samsung logo sticker.


These are Easy ways for consumers to identify fakes:

• Familiarise yourself with genuine Samsung products at approved retailers or brand stores.
• Be cautious about purchasing products online – ensure you are using a reputable source as opposed to an individual or illegitimate seller.
• Examine the physical differences on the actual handset itself compared to genuine Samsung products. Don’t rely on the look of the packaging alone.

Here are some of the key differences between genuine Samsung phones and fakes:

• The Samsung logo on a counterfeit model is slightly raised, like a sticker.
• The screen will also appear a tad lighter and more reflective than on a genuine device.
• Counterfeit devices generally feel heavier in the hand than legitimate products.
• Fake Samsungs are also much cheaper than genuine handsets.
