Nokia cell phones are increasingly subject to counterfeiting. The main indicator that arouses suspicion is the price of the device, which, as a rule, is much lower than the market price.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to the website www.nokia.com and find the detailed datasheet for your model. Compare the characteristics stated in the description with the actual characteristics of your device. Check the internal memory, the quality of the shooting, and the display resolution. Typically, these indicators are the brightest signal that your phone is a fake
Step 2
Go to mobile-review.com. Find on it a detailed overview of your model, with photos and videos. With this resource, you can get an accurate idea of how your phone should look. You can also inspect the firmware of your device in more detail. There should be no deviations. Otherwise, your phone is not original.
Step 3
Remove the back cover from your mobile and carefully detach the battery. Next to the SIM card there should be stickers indicating that the phone has passed RosTest and has a communication compliance certificate. Writing on them should not be smudged and the paper should be glossy.
Step 4
Next to the certification mark is a sticker with a serial number, as well as a sticker with an IMEI number. Carefully write down the IMEI number, then replace the battery and replace the phone cover. Turn on your mobile device, then enter the combination: * # 06 #. The screen will display the IMEI number included in the firmware. Compare it with the one under the battery. You can also compare it with the number on the box. The absence of discrepancies in the numbers will confirm the originality of the phone.
Step 5
To be absolutely sure that your phone is not a fake, contact Nokia Care. This is round-the-clock technical support for owners of Nokia mobile devices. Find her contacts on www.nokia.com - the official website of the company. Tell them your IMEI phone number and leave a request to verify it.
