Counterfeit smartphones are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Clone iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models are flooding offline marketplaces. Protect yourself by following these expert protocols:
- Run Benchmark Tests: Clones always use cheap, low-end chipsets despite spoofed system settings.
- Check Camera Quality: Test low-light captures and optical zoom; clones lack genuine imaging sensors.
- Verify IMEI in DIRBS: Ensure the device model matched on the PTA database matches the physical unit.
