Look at the physical form and compare the prices.
SuaraJakarta.id – Along with the development of the times, the need for electronic things also increases, one of which is in smartphone. Almost all people in the world have a smartphone and use it in their daily life. Seeing this, electronics manufacturers are aggressively continuing to innovate on their products and release these products. You could say these manufacturers do not want their smartphone products to be out of date. Not only manufacturers, consumers also want to stay up-to-date by using today’s mobile phones that have the latest features and specifications.
However, unfortunately behind today’s sophistication, there are still frauds that often occur in this electronic field. Both fraud in the form of shops to fake products. Increased consumer demand makes some people take the opportunity to make profits. Not infrequently also consumers often feel tempted when they see the price of a smartphone that is much cheaper than the general market. If you’ve been cheated on, even if it’s only hundreds of thousands, it’s still a loss, right? So, it’s a good idea to always check the store or product you want to buy carefully or if you want it to be safe, you can only buy it at the official store! For example, in Blibli there is Xiaomi An official store that provides guarantees and guarantees for its products, clear products, clear stores, calm hearts!
When you have already bought goods at an unofficial store and want to check whether your smartphone is original or not, here are the signs if your smartphone is fake!

Looking at smartphone store accounts on social media, I’m suddenly attracted to a store that sells goods at prices that are too cheap, so it seems a bit unreasonable. For example, the Xiaomi Mi 10T generally costs around 5 million. However, in the shop it is sold at a price of 1 million or even only hundreds of thousands of rupiah. Here you need to think carefully, with that price benchmark it seems impossible for the store to embellish “price down”, “massive discounts”, “black market goods” especially at that time, the times when Xiaomi Mi 10T is on the rise. Even though it looks similar to the original in the photo, you still have to think repeatedly when you want to make a purchase transaction, if you feel like it at that price, it’s clearly a fake smartphone.
See physical form
There is a saying that “as clever as a squirrel jumps, once in a while it will fall.” This proverb means that as smart as humans are, they will make mistakes too. This is of course related to replica smartphones produced by humans, if you look closely, there must be one or two differences between fake smartphones and the real thing. Of course, you can only do this if you visit the shop directly and see the physical form. If you don’t really understand the material of a smartphone, invite your acquaintances who understand this. Because, if this one requires careful accuracy.
Confirm IMEI number
Every smartphone must have an IMEI number on the device. IMEI or International Mobile Equipment Identity is a special number used to identify a cell phone. In general, the IMEI number consists of 14 digits with the addition of the 15th digit which is used to re-verify all previous digits. Later, the digits are used to check various information from the phone itself. Starting from information about the origin of the cellphone, the manufacturer, to the model number of the cellphone. You could say IMEI is an official identity owned by your cellphone. So, if you have doubts about your smartphone, you can check your IMEI number by pressing *#06#. After that, the phone’s IMEI number will come out and you can match it with the number in the sales box. Or you can check it directly on the imei.info site. So, if the number in the box with the phone’s IMEI is the same, then the item is original, but otherwise? Hmm, do you know what the answer is?
