The Vertu phone is proof of the wealth of its owner. Buying such a device means spending a significant amount, since even the simplest classic Vertu model is very expensive. But now a lot of fakes have appeared on the cell phone market, so everyone who wants to buy such a phone should know a few nuances that will distinguish the fake from the original.
Necessary
- - magnifying glass;
- - Vertu 24/7 support phone number;
- - ruler.
Instructions
Step 1
Take the device in hands and examine it carefully. All parts of the body must be clearly matched to each other. If you see at least one gap or oblique connection, then you are holding a fake in your hands. The Vertu phone is an exclusive high quality item. None of the parts should be loose.
Step 2
If you buy a phone in Russia, then pay attention to the keyboard. On an official certified phone, most of the buttons are occupied by Russian letters. Below them, a little lower should be applied numbers and letters of the Latin alphabet. Consider the texture of letters and numbers. All symbols must be neat and even. Remember that on the original phone numbers and letters are applied with a laser, and on a fake one, usually with the help of paint or stickers.
Step 3
Pay attention to the quality of the leather that the phone is adorned with. In the manufacture of Vertu, only genuine leather is used and only hand made. All devices undergo a thorough quality control, so there can be no flaws or defects on a real phone. On a fake, the leather resembles stretched polyethylene or pressed cardboard.
Step 4
Also, clear differences can be observed by removing the battery. The main difference lies in the technical stuffing of the phone, which can be partially seen under the battery cover. When removing, pay attention to the material from which the back panel is made. Most panels have a cover made of a durable, flexible material. The original back panel bends easily, but if you try to bend the counterfeit battery cover, it will crack.
Step 5
Check the phone you are buying against the unique ID number, firmware number and certificate. You can find out the authenticity of your phone by calling Vertu's 24/7 support. Provide the operator with all the data of the purchased phone, and in a few minutes you will find out whether the device was released with such an identification number or not.
Step 6
A fake can be distinguished by its dimensions different from the original. Please be aware that a real Vertu cannot have a single paint or sticker on it. In the manufacture of this exclusive device, only laser engraving is used. To avoid buying a fake, buy your phone only from authorized distributors.
