Today, I got set up by someone trying to sell me a fake one. Drove a 5h trip for nothing. (Like these fake sellers fake everything pre meet up. Then you show up flip the phone around and see the lenses are blue-er than the sky.) So frustrating.
Yes.. and some of them probably got set up themselves and are trying to get their money back by selling the fake phone they bought. That sapphire lense is a dead giveaway. Not even a camera there.
Read the description THE SELLER POST (For a quick sales to repair my car ,)selling MY UNLOCKED SAMSUNG GALAXY S23 ULTRA. 5G ,512GB. INTERNAL STORAGE, 12 GB RAM ,DUAL SIM ,QUAD CAMERA ACTION 200MP serious buyer price negotiable but not to lowLooking. These phone are seal unless it is brought by buyer you can do what you want but all the information of the phone the IMEI # MAKE AND MODEL IS ALL UNDER THE SEAL (%100 FAKE PHONE)🙏🙏🙏
These scammers even have fake receipts, so be careful. Ive been looking for an s23 ultra and 4 different marketplace sellers had the same receipt/IMEI complete with the same typos and all😂
Yeah, it's crazy! You really need to 1st look at the bottom blue lens...if there is no lens, it's a fake. Them look at the S pen...if it doesn't have the tip...it's fake.
It looks like the mic hole is slightly offset from the SIM eject hole on the knock-off. On the genuine phone these holes are in alignment. I always buy my phones new on the used market and it's getting increasingly difficult to tell a fake. But as long as you're vigilant and the seller agrees to let you go over it with a fine toothed comb then you should be fine. If the seller doesn't agree then that's a red flag right there.
I usually get them from trusted retailers or my service provider but there's this sweet deal on a local online marketplace for an S23 Ultra. Lots of watchers no buyers. I'm thinking about it...if he lets me unseal the box and set it up at my house I'll buy it. If it's a fake I know this person wont even come to my place let alone let me unseal and set it up.
Just watched this as I was about to buy an absolute bargain. This made me realise that a fake S23 Ultra was a thing. Unbelievable that I did not know this was possible. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Good info, however what seller is going to give you time to initialize the phone, setup a Google account and then download CPU-X in order to run a test? I know you mentioned this could be a red flag. I like the tips about the camera being a gem and the tip of the S-pen. And speaking of the S-pen, it appeared the hole was not centered on the fake one compared to the original. I might be looking at one of these soon and thanks to your video, I hope I'm prepared 🤞🏽
Cpu X is the peace of mind after you get the phone. It's just to check to make sure it's running the correct software. The pen..the lens and the front camera hole are all tell tail signs. The icons will be clunky and you will know right away with the slow responsiveness of the fake phone.
I've bought all my phones from ebay so this video is useful for me. If I find its a fake its super easy to return and get my money back. Never had that issue so far though but these damn Chinese knockoffs on literally EVERYTHING are getting better and better so have to be careful...
If the seller wont let you use cpu x..all the more the phone is suspect especially if ur buying a used one. Then again you wont be doing that if you buy from an oficial store
I didn't even know there were fake Samsung phones out there, it just seemed like something too complicated to be worth trying to fake in the first place... unlike something like Ray-Ban sunglasses, or some other relatively simple item compared to a smartphone. I'm greatful now that I just bought my S23 directly from Samsung.
I've been looking around for a 23 Ultra - I've noticed on the fakes I have seen thr About Phone page will have the "Galaxy S23 Ultra" text but will not have the picture of the phone above it. Did you notice that on your fake? That looked like a quick way to see a fake- although they could ad that on newer fakes.
Really useful video thanks for the info! I know an easy and fast way to make the difference. And that is Samsung Knox. It's a security component of Samsung. One key feature of this is the Samsung secure folder. So. If the phone has secure folder and Samsung Knox on it then it's a real phone. Try to login to the Samsung secure folder on the fake phone. It will not work. 👍
These are really easy to spot, but the refurbished or renewed ones are difficult coz they're 99% the same....and people sell them as Genuine...it's crazy
The only 2 things that stood out to me were the blue sapphire in the bottom front camera and the larger camera circle diameter on the rear facing camera. Other than that without touching anything they look identical. It is getting crazy out here. Buying directly from the Samsung store is probably your best bet. Even cellphone dealers are out here duping people.
Watched your video, went to buy a second hand s23 ultra. First thing I checked the camera, zoom only goes up to 10x, phone was laggy and the apps section was clunky as you said. Instantly walked away from the deal. But man, the build quality was premium
How to differentiate between demo unit and real unit. Demo units are used in Shops to display for the customers. But those products are sold with full intact package. Then how to differentiate them?

Hello, where did you buy this replica? It is the only replica that does not have borders on the screen and has it the same as the original, I await your response.
Does S-pen work on fake device ? If it's not then that's the best thing to check if it's a fake or not coz the tech that needed to integrate on screen to support an S-pen is expensive af.
The fake S pen does work but does not have the little circle that comes from the real one. I think once you look at the camera it's a dead giveaway. The fake had flip phone quality.
It might just not use this technology tho. There are pens that simulates human touch so there is no need for any technology to be integrated at all. The tip is made of a special material that acts just like you were touching the screen with your fingers.
The real one has a blue lense on the bottom camera, so the fake is trying to emulate the real. The fake goes overboard and looks like a blue jewel wedged in place of the camera.
Thanks for the cpux tip that was the only way i ended up telling mine was fake a real good fake if i may add bought thru amazon refurb so watch out, camera quality was surprisingly good and even was actually running the snap dragón 8 gen 2 but when i checked the memory it only had 64gb instead of the 512gb the systems setting showed
The real one is the one with the black barrier. It's a protective lens cover for the cameras. I put it on the real one to protect my cameras. I'm not putting one on the fake....
why does NOBODY look for the most obvious thing? I've never seen a fake with the IMEI on the back, dead give away, why do all this crap when you can tell without even turning it on?
It had an IMEI that I looked up, and it said it was ligit. That's the most obvious thing that EVERYONE checks first. This goes deeper than that. I'm trying to help people not get scammed and making a video that helps them identify the fake. Thanks for watching.
@@woodnyardjunkie was it imprinted on the back of the phone? If not it is a fake, if a someone is selling a second hand phone in the box it is fake, just say it, why go through detail on the box when you know if someone is selling a phone in the box on facebook or whatever, it is FAKE
@@wemikallc yes it was on the box. I've already told you the box had NO signs of being a fake. I wouldn't make the video if I had just missed something easy.
Easy way to tell the difference is to completely shut down the phone. Then boot it up..if it shows Samsung logo then it's real. If it shows "CHINESE LOGO" then it's fake.
@@woodnyardjunkie well..Mine did. These lame fakers are taking notes. Soon it will be very hard to tell the difference. The only thing you can tell is the speed. The faker used old cpu so it can't handle the current Android IOS and it would always be sluggish, other than that these lame scummers would try to mimic it . Best way is just to buy from Samsung - peace of mind. I got scammed for $550 :( I got so mad and I didn't want anyone to get it because I am not lame. I literally smashed it and tossed it in the trashcan.
I have a question: Does a fake phone get updates in any way? And can a fake phone get any kind of updates? ..I think this point will end the controversy and doubts.
@@woodnyardjunkie I bought the phone from a seller and found that it was made in Vietnam, and this made me worry.. but I received a security update from Samsung as soon as I opened the phone.. I think this is a good sign that the phone is not a copy. Anyway.. Do you have an idea about the difference between Vietnam and China version.. and which one is the better?.. Thanks for the reply by the way 💚
Hello there just a question my phone failed a few of them but thr weird thing is It is infact running the same thing as the real s23 BUT 2 OF THE CAMERA'S ARE FAKE and uhm also All the buttons are working but the real deal is It has 500 gb of space and i've only used 3% of storage and its very laggy i bought this for 81k php btw Idk how much that is in usd BUT THATS ALOT IN THE PHILLIPPINES thats like a quarter of my house worth so yeah i need answers please help❤❤
@user-kq2ob1iz9c did you run CPU-X? Run that and see what it says. Mine said it had 500gb and ran the correct software but when I ran CPU-X it showed what was really running on it...old software and only 32 gb of memory.
@reymonddre2266 Some Samsungs were made in Vietnam. I wouldn't go by what country it says it's made in. That's not a good indicator of if it's real or fake.
I wouldn't think so since it's older software. I haven't used the fake since this video. They are so slow and clunky that it's really a complete loss if you get one.
@@woodnyardjunkie you are correct but I always try to save a few bucks by getting it off marketplace and oh boy I see so many fake ones. I literally almost bought one but thank goodness I saw your video. Thanks to people like you, we are able to differentiate. Keep up the good work. I will use my pixel 8 pro till I can afford to buy from Samsung directly.
Good info! I only want to say that the shakiness in the video literally made me nauseous after a few minutes! Just so you know... it would be much better to have a mounted camera..😀
@@woodnyardjunkie awesome! Just out of curiosity where are they selling these fake phones? Are they trying to pass them as genuine, or they’re telling you upfront it’s a fake.. just got an s23 from Amazon… seems to be legit
@jackfisher7274 they are selling these everywhere, and no, they are not telling people they are fake. The real one I have in the video was from Amazon and was confirmed to be real. My video lays everything you need to know to spot the fake. The bad camera on the fake is a dead giveaway.
I don't have a specific link. They are just festering out there on Marketplace.. Ebay..Amazon..etc. Just look for a new one selling around 300-500 and it will most likely be a fake.
The funny thing is, the person who sold the fake phone was an older woman who said she had cancer for the 3rd time and was going through chemo right now. It's true cause I looked it up. So you never know who's the con and who's the honest person.
I'm not sure if it can call. When you purchase it, it's no longer on a plan, so you won't know at the time of purchase if it can make calls. I'm not going to try to use it after it's found to be a fake. Yes, it can get online just fine.
I buy mine from a Samsung store, so i know I'm getting the real thing.
That's the bulletproof way my friend. No guessing involved going that route.

Thanks, friend. I didn't expect the video to get the views it did. I'm glad it did so these fake S 23s can get revealed.
I wonder; why do they mount sapphire fake cameras instead of black ones? It's just a piece of glass, right? It can't be much of a price difference
The real one has a blue lense on the bottom camera, so the fake is trying to emulate the real. The fake goes overboard and looks like a blue jewel wedged in place of the camera.

@jackfisher7274 they are selling these everywhere, and no, they are not telling people they are fake. The real one I have in the video was from Amazon and was confirmed to be real. My video lays everything you need to know to spot the fake. The bad camera on the fake is a dead giveaway.
Nemohu fake nikde sehnat, jsem z České republiky nemůžete mi napsat odkaz kde ten falešný telefon koupím moc děkuji nemohu to najít moc se mi líbí.
I don't have a specific link. They are just festering out there on Marketplace.. Ebay..Amazon..etc. Just look for a new one selling around 300-500 and it will most likely be a fake.
Right away....,. Thats not OLED.....
It really helped bro
Thanks my guy! Appreciate it!
had to wait till 2:18 to tell us which one was the fake
The suspense....
father just bought a fake off of facebook market place off a kid no older than 15 for 650$ he didnt know it was fake
It's sad how they take advantage of people.
kids are dogs now adays it's not fair at all that someone can buy a fake for 25$ and sell it for 650$@@woodnyardjunkie
wish I found this vid sooner :(
Sorry for your loss!
mee too I just threw away $700
Thanks dear 😊
Gonna buy fake one tomorrow..😁

Thanks for watching!
Nobody catch any hands for purposely trying to con others,lawd I'd whoop someone ass ya cause money don't grow on trees,tho banks have branches..
The funny thing is, the person who sold the fake phone was an older woman who said she had cancer for the 3rd time and was going through chemo right now. It's true cause I looked it up. So you never know who's the con and who's the honest person.
How can i get the real
Buy from a reputable dealer or just buy directly from the Samsung website.
How about made in Vietnam fake or real?????
The down chin bazel has a big gap kn the screen ..bigger than the small chin on the original
Good eye on that!
bruhh.. just use 100x zoom u will know
@tamildata6061 I did that .... a great indicator 👌
The price should explain the imitation. Can the fake call? Can the fake be called? Can the fake get online?
I'm not sure if it can call. When you purchase it, it's no longer on a plan, so you won't know at the time of purchase if it can make calls. I'm not going to try to use it after it's found to be a fake. Yes, it can get online just fine.
nice video¨
Thank you! Appreciate it!
I have the fake one from china lol😅
Me too...lol. At least it Plays music.......
