I just bought a $70 fake S10 from wish... They are making getting a refund practically impossible... And idk how to market this phone so I can sell it online and try to recuperate my losses
The accessory color, with the real phone at least, depends on what color you get your phone in. I got a black S10+ with black accessories, the other colors come with white. Just one more thing to look for with clones
@@RedskullPro i agree. real ones have much better camera production.fake ones camera is like a camera from a nokia symbian phones era. you know, the N series? hehe
There has be stricter guidelines to help protect customers and the consumer protection laws, as fraudulent products on the markets from different countries is stressful to deal with. Thank you for sharing.
It would be too late for those who may have bought one on line and discovered it's a fake. They would probably have 'no returns' policy. It's best to buy physically in a shop so u can really appraise it carefully before paying over the money
You are right iam going to buy s10e tomorrow for $150 dollars from phones owner the price is okay compared with others one at least I can see the phone in person Otherwise buying on line you could get a fake one
Congratulations! After using a Samsung for years I tried an Apple for the past year … SO happy to be returning to Samsung! 🥳. I am SOOOO grateful for this video!
I mean its okay if they sell the fake at a cheaper price. But, those who sells fake phone with the price almost as expensive as the original? Unforgivable!
I bought a brand new black S10 in its original unopened box several months ago. I never even contemplated that it could possibly be fake until this video popped up as a suggestion. I appreciate Redskull's effort BUT there ARE differences in the phone packaging depending on where they were manufactured. For instance- the S10 logo on the box mine came in is neither white or black- it is silver. Also, it seems that white accessories came with white phones and black accessories came with black phones. My flash is definitely more yellow than it is white- Still most likely a difference to where it was manufactured than anything else. My accessories were all packaged in black board stock and not plastic wrap. One other thing to be wary of is the AKG ear buds that come with the phone. There are several videos here to help pick out fakes vs the real thing. Lastly- ALWAYS register your devices with the manufacturer. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt that Samsung would allow a bad serial number to be registered. I will give credit to Redskull for pointing out the OBVIOUS differences between a fake and real S10. The front screen of the fake phone he used is a dead giveaway of a phony- but don't use any one thing as gospel that your phone is a fake.
I kind of liked how the fake one has a metal sim tray, the legitimate (plastic) one always felt like it would break easily. Is there any chance you could weigh the two phones? I think the fake will be lighter due to all the plastic, but they could have put small weights inside it if they are clever.
I work for AT&T, i can confirm that legit samsung products can sometimes come with black accessories, also they can come in plastic instead of cardboard
Hi Alex, do all of the real models have the holographic writing below where is says Galaxy S10+? Also, is there another app to use that you like besides Antutu Benchmark since it is not available anymore in the app store? What should the rating on the phone be on the app you use now? Thanks!!
Thank you RedSkull, I nearly got ripped off. When I put "Samsung phone" in the Wish.com browser it came up with S10 phones and they were really cheap so I bought one. Then my friend queried if it was the real deal, so then I started to get worried and found your video. I put in a complaint within 24 hours to PayPal and in all fairness I did get my money back. So thankful for your good video.
Nah bro. The one that you bought from wish would have been WORSE. The bezels would have been bigger than this fake one. And the quality would've been much worse. Moral of the story: Buy stuff from wish if you desperately need to.
I just ordered one from an unofficial online store, but it protects me for 30 days so I can return the product without losing my money. We will see if it is the original or fake thanks to this video. Be careful where you buy, and if you buy online make sure it is a reliable store . I'll tell you how it went later
I bought an S10 off eBay for $360 AUD, originally they were $1399 AUD when released in 2019. I used CPU-z to see if it was the real deal or not & sure enough, It's genuine. Pick one up while you can, new S10s will be discontinued when the S24 goes public
Even with the name brand there will be some variants. For example depending on the color of device you purchase , your accessories will very in terms of color. A big give away on a fake is the camera.
Nice video, thanks. Clearly some of these details might be hard to be sure of with only one phone in hand. Also, you didn't mention it but to me the clearest difference is in the quality of the making, like rounds and chamfers on holes or buttons. They look way slicker and more precisely milled. Even from "afar" (the video doesn't show close shots of all angles) one can also spot how the genuine one looks silky while the counterfeit was more coarsely manufactured.
But what can you do once you've bought the thing? Getting your money back, etc is going to be a massive amount of work... How can you ensure you're getting a genuine device BEFORE you buy it? Especially if you're buying it online....
@@RedskullPro RS Any info on new Firefly 10x ? I was told it comes out SOON ! The specs seem better then Gopro 8 or Dji !!! PLEASE review asap as you're the best Seems to use superior parts Semper Fi Gunny
They told me "mid Dec"..well..that came and went. May have to settle for Gopro 8 and HOPE mine is not a flawed one. REALLY want to see Firefly X VS GP 8
Thanks for this video. I'm going to get a Galaxy S10+ soon. Problem is if you order it, you can't see if what is being shipped to you is real or fake beforehand.
Funny enough, I ordered my S10+ straight from the local store, and it came packed like the "fake" on the left, minus I have the black phone as its usually the only color left to order by the time I order these phones lol. I got black charger, black box. It's definitely real though.
i hate counterfeiting.....i think i bought a counterfeit note 4 on amazon once...it certainly wasn't the carrier phone they said it was, but it was suspect for other reasons.
Just bought the s10 in prism green, How ever my device is original as the camera flash is not a strong yellow and the display screen besel is exactly same as the original one on the video, very thin besel the button on the left side under the volume rocker works as it should as the original handset, Comes with box with iemi serial/ Number printed on the side of the handset box, Thank you
I guess, I have bought the fake one. Mine battery takes 8 hrs to charge and all others things you said are true. I don't where to buy real products from. I just bought mine from amazon. It's been 2 weeks straight it doesn't have IP rating, slow charging. I contact the seller and he sent me 2 replacement charger and they are same as the first one. They still charge the battery slow. I don't know what to do. Please help me to buy real product.
The best thing you can do is phone up Samsung and quote your IMEI number and check whether it's an authentic device or not. All you have to do is speak to the seller and ask them to send you the serial number IMEI number and check it with Samsung. If the seal is not broken and you can prove that to Samsung they could even offer you 2-years warranty. If you buy a phone online always check with Samsung directly to make sure it's authentic
I have just bought a new m31 and I found that the accessories are black unlike the unboxing videos that I've seen on UA-cam were the accessories were white in addition to that the device and the charger are made in India while the headphones and the cable are from Vietnam ,is there a possibility that my phone is fake?
Is there a 128gb storage ceramic version? I want to know because i have one new but have problem with my usb type c port it doesn't plug in correctly but the phone charges, connecting doesn't work, so i want to know if my phone is fake but i think it isn't, as far i know ceramic versions are 512gb and 1 tb i think?
@Redskull i have some problems...my dad give me an s10 on my birthday and the box same as the fake,but it have bixby and it dont have the camera on the face...it is real??
Thanks for this video. As soon as you started typing "Bixby", I immediately noticed the difference in the keyboards. The fake S10 does not have the authentic Samsung keyboard. You know it's a fake when even Samsung's $100 budget phones have the authentic one.
Here is a tip. If u're paying 💲200.00 or under for a new Galaxy S10 then the chances are it's a fake. U should expect to pay around 💲500.00 to know it's got to be geniune
Can clones be used for things like pokemon go? Someone is selling one on Facebook for £30 and I just need a cheap android for that as an alt. Not needing camera etc. What about GPS and location? Does that work OK? 🤷♂️
i just bought a s10+ . My flash also looks yellowish. It's a black phone and has a black charger. But i do have bixby and all my lenses work so not all your points are true.
Yes sir I have Samsung Galaxy s10 5G the Sim base is so small and it is not using memory card only one sim sir I want to know if it is a fake or real sir plz
Maybe someone tried to sell me a fake on Kijiji. When I told seller I wanted to meet at police station to buy phone, he insulted me by saying "Have fun wearing your tin foil hat".

Still able to find a brand new s10? I want the device but afraid i may not get a brand new but refurbished.
@@EkeminiJacobs Even refurbished is OK.The problem is if there is fake.....
the front camera makes me easier to know that's fake!
indeed
That'd be funny if the fake one turned out better than the original.
fake has camera in middle, finish no further explanation required . trim down your video to 10 seconds

if I have a chance and if i remember i'll weight them
@@RedskullPro Cool, thanks. This was a really good video by the way, very informative.
Best way to know is go to about phone and look for the specific information
Best way to do a simple check is turn on the camera and See the options for zoom are missing .
Good point

@@respectmychocolate I bought the white s10 and the accessories where all white......

I have the real one but all the accessories and the box was from the left one)))

Hi Alex, do all of the real models have the holographic writing below where is says Galaxy S10+? Also, is there another app to use that you like besides Antutu Benchmark since it is not available anymore in the app store? What should the rating on the phone be on the app you use now? Thanks!!
The charger and the earbuds are black if you bought the darker colours
I have original one i bought from samsung physical store and the box and acc are all black like the fake you show.
Quality content as usual. Very helpful!
Thank you very much for watching!
U don't think is true because my phone slot is plastic but the charger is black
6:20 wtf lmaoo

I've got a Galaxy A90 5G. How do I know it's not fake?
I just realized that some galaxy s10+ phone has a "GALAXY S10+" label in the back but some others don't, what is the difference
OMG I was wondering that too!!
ME TOO!! MAYBE IT FAKE
When you are buying an expensive phone for several years, it is good to physically visit authorized official sales centre for an hour.
What is the original number of the original product, is it SM-975U?
Thank you RedSkull, I nearly got ripped off. When I put "Samsung phone" in the Wish.com browser it came up with S10 phones and they were really cheap so I bought one.

On the fake phone the wallpaper is edited to hide the real notch, very legit
Excellent information. Well done mate, 10/10
Can the original s10e firmware be installed on a fake s10e? Thanks beforehand
Even with the name brand there will be some variants. For example depending on the color of device you purchase , your accessories will very in terms of color. A big give away on a fake is the camera.
You mean the backing facing camera yellowish tint versus White or beige one?
I happen to get mine when they have issues and get a new upgrade through the insurance I pay for. Won't get a fake.
This video gave me some good insight into spotting fakes in general, not just for this particular fake. Thanks!
It's kinda common sense tho... you could spot a fake one from outer space
Well done! Excellent info Alex! Liked and shared as always!
great review,just what i needed to watch,before i buy s10
Thanks for watching!
What if my box was fake but the phone was exactly the same as the real one. Even the headphones and charger were the same as the original phones.

Go to settings
Go to about phone
Go to status information
See phone status==official
If its official than its original

How much can cost an brand new s10+ im talking about the original one on 2024
Thank you so much
About A50

Now I'm texting on my S10. Bye bye kids
Question: What happens when you enter *#0*# in clone device?
I have Samsung Galaxy S10 for 2 years now, its so good and I feel I'll keep it forever.🤩
In 1-2 years you will notice screen burn in... that's when you will probably have to change it
Please help me to buy . I want to buy s10+. But I don't know where to buy the original one.

That was a good comparison. Ty
Yes sir I have Samsung Galaxy s10 5G the Sim base is so small and it is not using memory card only one sim sir I want to know if it is a fake or real sir plz
VERY INFORMATIVE... thank you for the video!
Wow they look the same it's not even real! 😅
How about black color in phone it's fake or not?
It depends on the color of the device I have a original s10 plus prism black and the accessories are black please research more next time
Does all this apply to the S10 plus?
Maybe someone tried to sell me a fake on Kijiji. When I told seller I wanted to meet at police station to buy phone, he insulted me by saying "Have fun wearing your tin foil hat".
Either that or it was a stolen phone.. probably best that you didn’t buy it
So no Bixby on fake one? So its better
I just clocked that I have a s10 not s10 plus should I report it
Thanks . Very helpful bcoz im planning to buy s10...
Good video mate. Cheers.
