Samsung: How to check, if your Phone is Original or Fake? - 2 Codes to check, if it is real or not

With this tutorial video, I want to show you, how you can find out, if your Samsung Galaxy phone/tablet is an original or just a clone. I will show you two secret codes to check the IMEI number and the model number.
1. IMEI number (an unique number for each phone): dial *#06#
2. Version number (and a Test Mode for the device): dial #0# (To get out from the Test mode press 2 times the back button)
It works for several devices like:
Samsung S-series (S22,S21,S20, S10, S9, S8, S7, S6, S5, S4, S3,...)
Samsung Note-series (Note 20,Note 10, Note 9, Note 8, Note 7, Note 4,....)
Samsung A-series (A90, A70, A71, A72, A50, A51, A52, A32, A5, A6, A7, A3, ...)
Samsung M-series (M10, M11, M12, M30,M31, M20, M21, M30s,...)
Samsung J-series (J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7,...)
Samsung Flip-series (Flip3, Flip2, Flip...)
Samsung Fold-series (Fold3, Fold2, Fold...)
Samsung Tablets (Tab S4, Tab S5, Tab S6, Tab A, ...)

I just recently got this phone. Questions: why I can not see the picture previews? how can I change that so before the picture goes to the gallery, I can see it?
Also, when I got the fun, I found out about the fun mode. I took some pictures with it and actually it let me to pick pictures from Gallery and turned to fun mode.Now the fun mode options are much less. Also, I can not find the option to use the fun mode on pictures from gallery. previously it let me in fun mode, at the bottom of the screen to pick the last picture on the gallery, go there, pick the picture I wanted and apply fun mode lens now this options is not available at all. what am I doing wrong or changed?
thank You

[@jaweedrasheed7286]

Very informative and useful way of checking authenticity of Samsung smart phones.

[@gamelord9491]

Awesome video thanks. It was very informative and useful. I am getting a new phone and am about to test the two codes out on them.

[@Lucian_Andries]

Is the IMEI a firmware thing? Even so, china fab can put whatever they want, then just print that.
Is the sensors a Samsung exclusive? Not manufacturer/android thing?

[@lanywilkinson9641]

Great video! It told me about things I never even thought about that could help me out. Thanks bunches...

[@thepianoman588]

Hey I got a Samsung S20s and the background is kinda saturated in an odd way and also the version 2 to check if the phone is legit doesn't work... But the numbers are correct for the model. But that sounds easy to just turn it on, find the version, and print a sticker for it.
Is my phone legit? Please help
Edit: the serial number looks different than mine, his shows the IME number with no dashes, and mine have dashes. also just doesn't look legit

[@danilofernandez6511]

Very straightforward explanation

[@rizalynpinedarandomvideos]

😊😊Thank you to your video it's very helpful to us to know if it's fake or not😊😊I hope you make more videos. God bless

[@gamestreamertv5039]

one could make the phone, check the fake IMEI and then make a sticker for the box after, with same number. circumventable just like the internet itself. Good that Samsung have the second method of checking model number, but the forgers could also use that method to program the phone to display that same model number individually or 'en-masse', using A.I. to mass program the boot files for each microchip within each phone

[@karthiksubramani708]

So what do we do? How do we check the authenticity of galaxy phones? You have a suggestion?

[@xxprincesssakurarosexx5547]

Is it fake if it has 3 barcodes

[@markovaskovic3344]

@@karthiksubramani708 I remember when I bought my galaxy s8 4 years ago, there was an IMEI validator on Samsung website. You type the number and it tells you if its recognized or not. Now I can't find that option on their website. Anyone knows anything about this?

[@maimunahahmad9055]

I have a fake m32 5g and it's similar in most areas but there are also a lot of areas you can tell from. The camera is horrible, you can't find storage in settings without searching for it, the sim slot is located on the top instead of on the upper left side, the notification user interface is of a very old version of android, etc.

[@fredvoid5976]

Its literally obvious when you compare it to an original One UI OS... and the screen and camera position is pretty obvious too.. unless you've never used samsung before

[@retxrnal]

I know mine is real because it has 120hz

The new Chinese Samsung galaxy phones have the testing options and it's working properly. The only way you will notice the difference between the 2 phones is when you have them together.
