Beware of Class A Samsung Galaxy SIII - im a victim

[spiderman]

---

there are class A S3's out there,they say its 97% same, i dont know how to distinguish. better buy in official stores if your too conscious for not having 'original' ones.

be vigilant lang jud pirmi para di kapalit ug fake.

ang mga fake kay murag wa man guro NFC chip.

[dazzle]

well, if it gives the same performance, who the hell cares? 'Fake' and 'genuine' are words used to denote kinsa ang maker, but if it delivers the same experience and performance, why complain?

[m.garz]

i still dont think its a fake

[arf2]

maybe china ni na official s3 lahi jud built sa china na s3 pero same specs ug quality rana boss lahi lng pagka himu up for u

Yesterday I bought what seemed to be a genuine S3
I can say I know how to kilatis a counterfeit but yesterday was a first
The phone I bought was a Pebble Blue 16gb S3

Quick response phone
High quality screen. Pics from my SD looked awesome
Seemed official android because:
Google play official
Android version tapping in settings showed the android icon(genuine samsung characteristic)
Everything about the phone is S3 jud
Bootscreen is samsung
Imei is confirmed SIII online
Although naay carrier bootscreen pud
Welcome - which is australia/new zealand prepaid

I only noticed 2 problems
Cam is blueish and
Signal and 3g speed is not at par

For the IMEI you confirmed sa Samsung nga authentic, IMEI can be cloned also as what I have experience before cloning IMEI like the 3310 days.

Then your "Welcome" screen is a carrier brand, maybe this phone is flashed with that rom from that carrier, just to make it more authentic.

What I have only notice is the Sim Card slot and back label sticker which is different from my S3.

Spoiler! 

I purchased my S3 for only 20k from a friend in Saudi.

Spoiler! 

.
Ang likod S3 jud kaau. Sim ug sd slots on the right position
Ang kabug atan even the plastic back covers' elasticity. Hahay
I think S3 jud ni na alter lng sa cfw
I've seen the fakes and ofcourse the real deal and its a pass with flying colors
Kung mangingilad palang ko, hagbay ra ni nahalin as orig. But its not me

Ang Sim slot akong na notice lain, also the LED light murag lahi pud sa S3 nako. The elasticity of the back casing, maybe because they get their cases from the same supplier sa Samsung, if the screen is HD Super Amoled then it's a good buy.

Spoiler! 

thanks sa feedback

the pictures taken from the cam is blueish

This is the Specs in Antutu

Spoiler! 

About your phone camera, sometimes naa pud mga factory defect or might be misused sa previous owner mao na guba ang iyang camera module, if ma open na ang phone diha rana nimo mahibaw.an kung ang sulod is far from the original.

its confirmed fake
GL benchmark says 0 core. much worst lol
third benchmark saying 540*960 reso
3 out of 5

na T.Y. ako 15,000 hahay
cge lang. its a working phone man pud
3g wifi android

Ok ra siguro na kay gamay raman dyud ug diperensya, pero ang quad core ug dual core gamay raman siguro diperensya hehehe kay sa single core nako nga isa ka phone 1.2ghz with Mali 400 GPU duol duol raman. Pero mo matter dyud if FULL HD 3D Games.

mao ni fon sa akng hubby s3 na clone.. dual core.. mura jud ug true.. d makamahay.. ky same ra ug performance sa orig.. d jud mailhan..

can you post the picture of the clone phone?


--------------------------------------

dako dako na dyud na ang 15k for a clone phone, pero still it's a good buy coz from the look of the phone it's 100% clone, except for the camera issue.

Boss i jz asked ug supplier sa manila about saimuha pics nga gipakita...yan yung mahalun na clone worth 10k plus...everything is the same pero dili samsung ang manufacturer pero specs are all the same.. Never knew naabot nagyud diay ni sa cebu...i thot dili ni ka penetrate dnhi sa istorya.net ky i was about to sell clones pero bawal man so mao to wala nlng ko nag post...i even tried selling my original locked samsung phones from all my carriers ky makailad gyud ang mga clones nga naa nku..pero i decided not to sell them up.. FYI lang sad para dili mailad ang uban...the back casing sa s3 clone ky dili pariha sa original..

thanks sa honesty bro. my clone's back cover Kay exact back cover sa original. ako na ni gi 1on1 compare and test sa s3 jud nga gipalit sa ayala. sim slot cover and microUSB ra jud ang difference sa cosmetics dept. led lights are the same. even buttons are the same. it feels like its a refurbished s3 kay screen cam ug processor ra jud ang lahi. i think HD pud ako screen pero the 960*540 version. not full HD

[blackfang]

Grabeha na aning mga mambuhat ug clone ui maayo nman au.

[jcgoyong]

im amazed myself. gi side by side, top and under, swapped cases sim and bat... pareeeeehhhhhaaaa jud akoa S3 clone sa original S3. 1:1 copy sa size, weight, ug position sa hardwares... ang positioning sa usb ra na lahi

sa parts pud, processor, sim card holder, ug Screen ray lahi
dli quD core ug dli full HD ako processor ug screen. pero HD screen ni.
