Vertu is the most famous brand of luxury mobile phones, hand-assembled using natural leather and precious metals. Buying this phone involves a lot of money, so you should be especially careful about checking the model for authenticity.
Instructions
Step 1
It is not difficult to distinguish an original Vertu phone from a copy or, to put it simply, a fake. To completely protect yourself from possible risk, purchase a mobile phone only in branded stores from an authorized Vertu dealer. Real Vertu phones are not sold on the Internet, even cell phone stores cannot afford to buy original models for resale, especially from expensive collections.
Step 2
The phone must have a serial number. There are no Vertu machines with the same serial number. Dial the code * # 06 # and make sure that the number indicated on the phone matches the number of the cellular software.
Step 3
Take a close look at the phone. The skin with which it is covered should not have abrasions, cracks or other defects. This also applies to the body of the device as a whole.
Step 4
Check the phone in action - press the keys, try to remove the back cover. The assembly of the device must be perfect - all parts and elements are flawlessly fitted to each other, there are no backlashes, creaks, wobbles.
Step 5
Pay attention to the keys. They should be written with a laser, not glued or painted. Letters should only be in one language.
Step 6
Check for a Vertu Concierge operator call button on the side of your phone. The button should perform its function, and not "hang" for beauty.
Step 7
Almost all fakes Vertu differ in their weight and dimensions - they are much smaller and lighter than the original. Also, a fake can be distinguished due to the build quality (the presence of looseness and backlash), as well as the use of cheap materials.
Step 8
In no case do not make purchases if you have doubts about the authenticity, the original model should not raise any questions about the quality of the goods.
