The versatility and complexity of assembling modern mobile phones are not an obstacle for Chinese craftsmen who can counterfeit anything. To avoid buying an expensive mobile device from a well-known vendor, actually made in China, remember the main distinguishing features.

Instructions
Step 1
Before you go to buy a new phone, refer to the official websites of the manufacturers of mobile devices and familiarize yourself with how this or that device looks like, write down the prices and characteristics of the devices you are interested in.
Step 2
One of the main distinguishing features of Nokia mobile devices is their weight. Therefore, if the purchased device of a popular Finnish brand seems suspiciously easy to you, most likely you are in front of a Chinese fake.
Step 3
Also pay attention to the quality of the plastic. Squeeze the case in your hand, the fragile material is evidence that this phone comes from a Chinese factory. Listen to the sound of the buttons. Real Nokia devices have a dull sound.
Step 4
Motorola is very popular with Chinese creators. To distinguish the "clone" from the original, examine the battery of the mobile device. If it's fake, then so is the phone. Direct the UV beam at the shiny sticker placed on the battery surface. On a battery produced within the walls of the vendor's factories, yellow stripes are clearly visible under ultraviolet light.
Step 5
Look at the sticker on the removable back panel. Compare the number of digits printed on it with the number contained on the original device. If these indicators differ, then the studied mobile phone is a fake.
Step 6
To distinguish phones from the Japanese-Swedish company Sony Ericsson from a fake, pay attention to the material of the case: unnatural shades are not characteristic of the original product. Folding models made in China tend to squeak when opened.
Step 7
Copies of the iPhone, like the original, are equipped with a touch screen. However, they do not support Multi-Touch technology, which, for example, allows you to zoom in or out on an image with your fingers. Please note that the original device is never sold with a stylus.
