Need Help: Fake S3 and Orig S3

[ktd-biz]

---

Note: I've seen a thread regarding this when he got a fake S3 with ICS but we need more collective information.
Thanks

Hi guys. I am looking for your help with regards to distinguishing fake S3s from original ones.
There are some info about it roaming around but it would help me(and other future S3 buyers out there) a lot if someone could give a blow by blow comparison.


I need information such as:

• Out of the Box Specs (I heard ICS daw ang fake Jellybean ang orig [?])
• Out of the Box Accessories (2 daw ang battery sa fake [?])
• Looks and feel
• Any magical code to check if its orig or fake (SN, IMEI, etc.)
• Easily distinguishable difference (extra camera[?] )

Anything really that would help me in my quest to buy an S3.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

That's one option bro. I know about the warranty and stuff. There are pros and cons.
But I'm looking for someone who can pin point clones from origs.
I opted to sacrifice Samsung Warranty for a price drop. The risks are mine to take.

Back to the real topic: I need to distinguish fake from orig. Though it is ok for me to buy a unit without an official Samsung warranty, it is not OK to buy fake ones. Hence, this thread.

Thanks for your time though.

Unless im mistaken the fake S3's come with an LCD display.. just check how the screen displays black if its like an LCD i.e. morag nag glow then its a fake, OLED have really deep blacks.
