One of the most imitated in the smartphone market is definitely the Eastern Samsung Galaxy S6 : Some clone are of poor quality and easily recognizable, but others, like the one in our possession ( the clone is in black color ) copies are almost perfect in terms of aesthetics and construction, making it difficult even for experts to distinguish from the original model without turning it on or have a real Samsung Galaxy S6 at your hand you can compare.
As more and more often, buying online from unknown sites or maybe trusting of ‘”used safely” and the low prices of some braggart, you are likely to run into similar clones, we decided to make a list of the major differences, but also the details, to watch out for before purchasing. This analysis is not intended as a review of the clone in our possession (which costs about 150 €) that, despite having good overall performance, is not even remotely comparable to a real Samsung Galaxy S6, but rather a guide to distinguish the original from the fake.
Let’s start from our video:
Packaging & amp; content
The box of our clone of the Samsung Galaxy S6 has some gross errors such as the inscription Edge when the reality is not within the model, as well as l ‘indication of the wrong color that says “white pearl” when actually our color is “black sapphire”; even the cardboard used is normal white paper free painting pearl that are on the original packaging. Needless to say, Samsung does not commit similar mistakes. (The box of the clone is the left in the photo below)
Turning content , the difference more is evident date from headphones , shape completely different than those sold with the original Galaxy S6, as you can see from the pictures below (original right).
battery charger can provide a further evidence does not bear the inscription “adaptive fast charge” as the original; Finally, the a paperclip to eject the SIM has a form completely different from the original as evidenced by the photo below. (Original right)
These differences obviously enough and advance to take away all doubt, but often these clones are seen as “used” without wrapping and accessories ; then move on to analyze the smartphone.
Tech & amp; construction
As previously mentioned, without a Galaxy S6 original way of comparison, it is very difficult to distinguish a clone like this, especially if you are not allowed turn it on (with some excuse or if you buy it online). It can be done, however, attention to some details that is unnecessary to specify, are not present in the original Samsung. Let’s start with those visible even without a real Galaxy S6 available with which to make the comparison.
- The front-facing camera and the “sensors” heartbeat are not perfectly centered with the holes of the body
- The drawer of the SIM is slightly in in the frame.
- The metal frame that defines the boundary of the body no is perfectly “flush” the glass front and back and finish date makes this board slightly sharp : You can see when you move your finger on the aforementioned frame. Defect clearly lacking on the original Samsung Galaxy S6.
- The Home button has excessive “play” forcing the movement.
- The glasses are very oleofibici Galaxy S6: this means that even if full of fingerprints, just a cloth or sleeve of a shirt to get them back clean; task much more complex with the clone in question. Bring back a cloth for glasses to do the test.
- The “Samsung” rear, when viewed against the light, seems almost a “sticker apart” and is not uniformly integrated in the painting back.
It seems incredible but, without an original Samsung for comparison and without being able to turn on, these are just the small details that could make us cast doubt . If you had the good fortune to arrange a true Galaxy S6 also assessed the following details:
- The weight is decidedly different: our clone weighs much more than the original: 154 g versus 138 g.
- display size of the clone is less from the original.
- Even when turned off, the black panel of the Galaxy S6 Original is much darker than that of clone.
- side frames clone are, albeit slightly, thicker than the original.
- The soft-touch keys are backlit much less uniform than the original Samsung Galaxy S6 and you can see light leaks from the frame.
As you may have guessed, the differences listed above can vary considerably in Depending on the clone, and is therefore always advisable to having read a “live” smartphone and especially you will have claim, the device!
Hardware & amp; software
Once you switch the smartphone “suspect” we assess other differences: for example, the display of Samsung Galaxy S6 uses the technologist AMOLED that allows you to have blacks and perfect viewing angles of almost 180 ° . By the screen to turn on the clone, the one with white writing “Samsung” on a black background, we can very well realize, tilting the phone, such as black various significantly, because the technology used is the “simple “LCD TFT / TN / IPS. Also after power we can see immediately a net difference of colors by comparing the clone with the original; in the latter, in fact, the Color become more bright and shiny.
Turning to the software differences , it would be impossible to list all the small differences in interface and functionality that exist between the two models, then confine ourselves to the most important that can help us to distinguish them (but vary depending on the type of clone).
In conclusion
As we have seen, recognize a clone of the Samsung Galaxy S6, even when turned off, it is difficult but not impossible; obviously evaluate a photograph on a website means that the difficulty increases and is therefore not recommended to use this method if you have the full assurance of reliability of the seller . When selling “hand” we can rely on the details that we have described, preferably by bringing back an original Galaxy S6, but the general advice is to start the phone! the only way to have the ‘ absolutely certain that you are holding a Samsung Galaxy S6 original.
