The Chinese industry has long ago put on stream the production of cheap versions of popular cellular models. You can buy a Chinese-made iPhone three times cheaper than the official one. However, the cheapness directly affects the quality of such cellular phones. To immediately determine if a Chinese phone is being offered to you, use a few tips and instructions for a visual check.
Instructions
Step 1
Weigh the phone in your hand. For comparison, take a similar model, of which you are sure of the quality. Chinese phones usually weigh much less than their European counterparts.
Step 2
Look at the Russian-language menu on your phone. If it is Chinese, you will immediately understand this from the poor translation of all instructions into Russian.
Step 3
If you have Internet access, find out the IMEI number of the phone. To do this, dial the combination * # 06 # on it. The display will show the serial number. Fill it in the input line on the verification site https://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr. Click the analyze button and get all the information about your phone, including the country of origin.
