Alright, consider it bought!
No :)
Wsp phone repair guru it’s DecoRepairGuru
The pull tab was a dead giveaway.. mine took me way too much time.
Also mine doesn't have that square on the top. I bought it from Samsung site.
I might
It is becoming better because you guys are spotting whatever is wrong with it and telling them
True hahah😂
BRO 😂
Bro that's so true, I would never think of that!
Like they don't know what's wrong with their fake devices
They too have access to the phones they copy
@@kalkin8129 oh really?? 🤓🤓
you can probably swap the good parts from the fake s22 to the fake s23
I'd love to see that, a decent quality franken-clone phone
and get a fake s22.5 or something lol
Not really... The parts most likely won't be compatible with each other, and a lot of the parts are soldered onto the motherboard anyway
@@horyzengm the parts are most likely off the shelf parts so they might actually fit/work together and the soldered parts aren't hard to desolder them and put them on the board
@@pl1y_ nuh-uh u get s45
3:44 that square is probably a cutout from the plastic wrap people often forget to remove lol
You’re actually right we just checked
Yeah I just noticed its still on mine as well.
I checked mine to laugh(i bought It from a legit store) and i nearly crapped my pants 😂
Exactly
i was just gonna say
The biggest giveaway with the box is the fact that the real S23 box has more of a shine to it. the fake box is not reflective at all
ITS NOT FAKE
I LOVE SAMSUNG
The average person isn't going to notice that
@@timmytimothy1 ?
Most people can't tell if they don't have an original to compare to
One small correction regarding the specs. The phone can't have an adreno GPU as that's exclusive to snapdragon chipsets. On a chipset be it snapdragon or mediatek the GPU is integrated so they can't mix them.
This particular mediatek chipset has a Mali-400 MP2 GPU.
1:35
9:10
So they faked the GPU related to the chip then since the GPU is baked into the SoC?
lol They couldn't even fake it right.
These guys don't even know what plastics or rubber is
Galaxy S2 powers mmm
Thanks for reviewing this PRG! If I have ever decided to go for one of these phones, I’d know how to figure out how it is fake.
This guy is helping me spot fake phones lol. It’s sad how many old people I see at amusement parks that have clearly fake (like, bright blue camera lens, super off colors etc) phones. It’s genuinely surprising yet sad
Well at least if it's stolen the thief gets beaten good these phones are still good to average person
Some people intentionally buy fakes so they don't have to bring out the real one. No problemo if it gets stolen in the public.
true@@MICHAELTUMANGDAY
The funny thing is that the seal stickers aren't fake, they come in the box with the original phone, this whole box was probably original with a few changes in it's contents
I swear I thought you were jacksepticeye of however it’s spelled
The entire colour of the box is different as shown and pointed out in the video, it's fake.
Editor: how many sound effects do you want to use?
Phone repair guru: yes
“What are you wearing rn?” That dealer is mad
Why didn't they call it Smasnug 😂
The fact that the fake camera is alwyas blue, if they literally just scribbled on the glass with a black sharpie it'd make it so much more realistic on the fake cameras
Hey, don't give them ideas💀
I love how you started constantly chuckling from the moment the older fake S-Pen broke on camera XD
The edits in relation to the SPen clone stylus were hilarious. That laughing guy always gets me laughing too.
You know a phone is bussin
When Mediatek 🤝 Qualcomm to have their CPU & GPU tech on a SoC.
The classic Vsause dialogue was nice tho 😂😂
Don't Apple or Samsung ever sue the counterfeiters? You'd think these fakes wouldn't even be able to ship these phones and get them through customs
You can't. In China counterfeiting is legal and these things are usually made in China. Besides there's the price....I mean let's face it who the heck would sell it at that price. I'm watching one which is going for 730 euros and heck everyone is suspicious. No one is selling it for less that 1079 euros and I mean NO ONE.
Samsung China actually invest in Samsung phone counterfeiting firms. If you cant beat 'em join 'em.
To be fair am cheking a video so i can buy a fake one
@@innocentrichard2945 why buy a fake?
4:22 "What are you wearing rn??" 😂
Appreciate your hard work on this videos. Keep going!
Thank you❤
hi jsal fan
@@samuelrowling yeah i'm in the toilet gang
@@da7_._ #duckgang here 🦆
That is messed up. No wonder I've been seeing a lot of s23 ultras in Facebook marketplace for a good price. I was thinking about buying one off there but had a weird feeling this time around.
SAME, I'm tempted to buy one off Facebook marketplace too for the price but seems way to sketchy...
Just bought a S23 on marketplace, sealed for 600$ CAD. Convert it to US $ and i hope you find that deal for a s23 or the too big to handle ultra. Problem is you can't verify in the phone app if the phone is an official because when buying new, you need to configure it all and that takes time
Bruh the easy button was right there and you forgot to press it at 8:25
great background music at the beginning, here I was looking for my phone thinking it was ringing.
You should combine both s22 and s23 ultra better parts to create ultimate fake phone 😂
Good fake s24 ultra
Phones have an soc(system on chip) meaning the processor gpu network chip and sometimes even ram is bundled into a single chip so its kinda impossible for a mediatek chip to have an adreno gpu
Yea its also quad core and it has good ol mali 400 which cant do shit with anything past 480p
Any braindead moron who buys a phone based on the name and not what they know about phones or what phone fits them gets what they deserve
Love your content man ❤
Keep it going 🔥
You should make more long videos, i Just love it. It was fun and i enjoyed.
Can you do a video on using it as your daily driver?
7:22 You said one of them is the real S23 ultra, but there are the 2 fake phones you showed earlier.
Agree - sloppy
He can't afford a real S23 Ultra!!!😆
@@JohnSmith-vz8pcFirst of all, don't make fun of people that can't afford an S23 Ultra, second of all, he does have a real S23 Ultra, last of all, people make mistakes. Accept it.
I work for the brand as a cellular rep and I love spotting the differences 😅
Bro was using "into the galaxy" ring tone and the intro💀
Ejecting the pen for comparison was hilarious hahaha thanks man!
The square on top of the real S23 Ultra is just the cutout on the plastic film you are supposed to remove
Oh okay lol for a second i thought mine was fake
I noticed this too and it just kind of annoyed me
5:04 It can't have Adreno 650 in it. The Adreno brand belongs to Qualcomm and it is only used in Snapdragon SoCs. 650 is released in 2020 and its pretty powerful GPU. Other manifacturers like Samsung (Exynos) MTK or Huawei uses ARMs Mali GPUs.
Just hardware faking clone stuffs
MT6580 use MP400 GPU or whatever it doesn't matter it's crappy af
@@someoneyouneverknow7529its a certified 2012 moment
The fact you can purchase these for like £90 just shows how cheap it is to actually make a phone and the reviews on these phones are really good
Loving the content PRG! Hope to one day become someone like you.
Wait, did the seal itself say do not accept if seal is broken? so if the seals are broken that message isn't there? HOW WOULD I KNOW?
I got my S23 Ultra at a huge discount and I can confirm this is exactly how a real S23 Ultra is.
That’s my thing. As long as it works
He doing it for views
I have one also. It works well Only complaint is the conversation sound is downright TINNY. But thats a widespread modern complaint about most phones.
@@LaymansGnosis-kd8wy you have one? Do you game on it? Was thinking of buying one.
@@shenequademeritte7654 You can get them with massive Terabyte drives. Its very quick should do gaming. Cheap expereiemnt. Millions of people today buy 2 or 3 cheap phones a year. because they are so cheap. And thats for people who dont want to pay 1500 dollars.
Just to let you know, that "square" on the top of the official one is just were you havnt taken off your little piece of protective film on the top of your phone lol
Yo phone repaired guru what lcd heater do you use just wondering what I should get
Its soo scary that it almost looks like the real thing, scammer could scam an old person and sell this fake phone and say that its the real thing and they'll believe it.
So the best way to determine if your phone is fake or not is to check out the cameras. I've gone through my Note 20 Ultra's camera modes while covering each camera until the screen is black and it turns out to be genuine. Also, the speed and the flow of the screen would immediately tell you if it's genuine or not.
You can always tell just by looking at the display 😂 they're so bad on the fakes
@@ahmet6144 yeah for a flagship the screen should pop.
The companies are using old phone Motherboards and some have sdcard slots and they usually have a replaceable battery and covering the sdcard. Some motherboards still have thair ids/partnumber to identify what it was before
"What ru wearing" killed me. 😂
i feel like the s22 and s23 ultras are as easy as they are to mimic because of the sheer size and weight of the thing, i tun a rigid case with my s22 ultra and my poor pockets are being worn out haha
Fun fact : that fake looks still way better than the ugly looking 14 pro you bring in the middle of video😂
Could you add a link where you bought it?
Ninja Package Opener Guru right there in the intro
Your vids are the best they never disappoint ❤
I recently brought a clone of an apple watch and outside it's scaringly similar including a legit amoled display. On the inside was another story of course. I think factories in China started to resell whatever components didn't pass QA for their main brand, I think the cheapest parts are easy to smuggle (boxes, screen, device shell and frames), so I bet that generate an IMEI, or repurpose an IMEI from a QA discarded device is probably what's in play here. Heck, I won't be surprised if they fake the IMEI on both stickers and software and sell a bunch of 1000s fake Samsungs with the same but legit IMEI
@@crziow yes, I did bought it knowing it was a clone and exactly for that reason, with the idea to take it apart and find out what actually is.
Buy a HK8PROMAX. Screen refresh rate is better than an actual Apple Watch despite being a clone
I like how you used the Moon Discovery ringtone at the beginning of the video
Bro became vsauce
I'm becoming paranoid thinking my phone is fake even when I bought it at the brand store😭
Me too 😢😢
@Suitcasie-mi4yk you would know, no updates, crappy screen and camera and slow you would question it immediately.
Wait. No comment here?
how did u get on vid so early
@@kylercustodio7314 my lucky day I guess
That broken S-pen made me laugh out loud.
One small correction regarding the kinda square shape at the top microfone 3:43, thats because on the real one, there is a little plastic protection layer
Mediatek SOC, with Qualcomm GPU. Yep. Believable!
(FYI, Mediatek's lowend SOC's tend to use PowerVR's offerings, which are actually pretty good tbh.)
How A mediaetch Cpu paired with a Qualcomm Adreno Gpu it doesnt make any sense. The gpu if the stat is correct its pretty capable.
6:58 Pause video and click this, Pro covered everything with the duck, But is face...
"What are you wearing rn". Lol. Dude thought you were a chick
3:07 just from this shot right here I can tell it's fake. I have a legit S22U and unless they moved the s-pen slot further towards the back of the phone then this is a pretty big flaw. The s-pen slot (atleast on my S22U) should be centered in between the front and back of the phone, not 1mm from the back of the phone like it is in this shot.
9:05 hardsoldered? it's 2 wires, if you think thats not repair friendly...
I love how 105 seconds in the video I get an ad for the s23 ultra but in another language
Good job at your vids dude!
The best RUclipsr that makes videos of fixing phones
Reaper
It shouldn't be that hard. When I went to buy mine, I looked around to see if I could get a better price without going through my carrier. The S23 Ultra was all over ebay for $100 - $125. Haha, as soon as I saw that, I just went to my carrier and bought from them. It made me realize that there is no way I would know the difference bwteeen a fake and the real thing.
Bro asked what are you wearing on what’s up💀💀💀
then straight up calls him dumb for placing the order 😭😭
the first song in the vid was my ringtone for my phone lol
One day they will be identical and very rare not to use a fake 😂😂😂
If they are same thing, I will buy the fake.
@chess pro not right now brother they are not perfect yet and can explode at anytime in the future they might be perfect
@@LegendaryUnknownGuy not your me, for someone's birthday present 😏
@@LegendaryUnknownGuy I was saying that they are total identical, no changes made why wouldn't I buy one ? It's never going too happen lol
@@doomslayerclout true bro
Yo it’s DecoRepairGuru I changed up my channel a bit I still love tech but I’m doing somthing I love even more
I remember you 🙌🏼
Lol at the WhatsApp convo...what are you wearing rn? 😂😂😂
Fun fact. The real Samsung S23 Ultra has a little stick that goes around the phone to some what protect it from scratches and dings.
0:23 oh look, a Smasnug back
I was kinda wishing it said samsnug
install custom rom on it and show what happens
How would someone do that, not knowing the exact hardware
@@mmouse6 it would be just pure chaos, it's not like you're going to put a sim card to that
I ve got an s21 ultra with charging problem and i replaced the charging port and it still isn't working dunno wat to do again
Gotta admit it is impressive.
Will you continue the series where you convert all your devices into USB-C ? It’s a really cool series
I plan on it yeah
@@PhoneRepairGuru omg I can’t belive it! You responded!
microUSB > USB-C
@@escapetherace1943 hell nawh, micro charges really slow
This is absolutely terrifying to me.
I got scammed twice on ebay before finally getting my desired purchase. Thank goodness for ebay buyer protection.
If not for them, I would have lost out on $2400.
I'm glad it's over and I got my REAL Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 12/512 phantom black.
Thank you for the service you do. Many scammers out there bro. Many.
Bruh I'm scared to purchase mine on ebay cause of all these fakes uhg
@@JamieLegacy_YTnah don’t be just buy from verified sellers with less negative reviews(ignore the good ones)
Just buy at the Samsung authorized store
"what are you wearing rn"? Wtf was that random text at 4am he sent? 😂 that's a bit sus
Where do you get all the stuff for your videos? Big Fan
4:55 This guy runs a RUclips channel and repairs phones for a living and doesn't know that all phone SOC's have integrated GPU's. He says that it's using a garbage mediatek process and a pretty good and recent Qualcomm GPU which is impossible. The phone is obviously listing a fake GPU and is definitely using the integrated graphics on that mediatek chip.
Aside from the bad camera and speaker I genuinely think that this fake is actually pretty good
Keep up the good work 👏 👍
except for the 8 years old processor
When are you going to do one of those videos where you revive a phone that's nearly been destroyed by river or something again. Those are awesome.
Wow...great Vlog. I am in process of buying a new S23 Ultra and kinda scared. I thought checking IMEI was failsafe till I saw this. IS THERE a failsafe thing to check for when looking at a a phone thats being sold?
That is amazing that somebody would tool up an entire manufacturing process to make a fake phone with dated components that aren't even the same dimensions as the real phone. Its probably illegal, and you would have to trick somebody to get a decent price for it. I would assume that phone has software that can steal your data or lead to that happening
Thinking isnt your strong suit it seems.
They make this stuff for next to nothing. Even at a 175 price point, its still enough to make serious money.
Therefore, why would you possibly be surprised it's happening.
Dude, that square shape on top of the real one is just a plastic protective sticker haha
The square shape on the top on the real one is part of the packaging film. Just peel it off.
I am absolutely amazed!! At first glance, you could easily be fooled!! Thanks for sharing.
Those companies put more budget in the packaging than in the phone
Great video keep up the great content
Hello
New phone need to charge how much hour and before use or use less 10 % and recharge???
Yoooo another upload keep up the great work
idk if youll help me on here but its worth a shot, i have gen 3 airpods and the right airpod isnt connecting to the case, thought it was a bluetooth issue so o forgot the device and tried to reconnect them and nothing works, its like it doesn’t recognize that the airpod is in the case, ive tried cleaning them but nothing will work what should i do?
0:13
“What are you wearing rn?”
Bro this is the best humour-technology channel ever.
Hey can you ask Can I backup my iPhone when it is disabled? Is it possible
What website you use to look up the IMEI
There's no square shape on the top of the real one. You missed the plastic peel on top. 😊
that spen got stuck scene was epic lol 6:27
if i got a fake phone what do i do with it
assuming they dont accept refunds/returns because you've opened the box already
The fact that you used a Samsung alarm clock music as an intro music (the one I use btw) 💀
