    Download "Antutu Benchmark" from Google app store-goo.gl/zz3hVL
    *check your phone or a friend's phone just save or share this video and download using that benchmark app link, it's free!

    OMG this is good to know. I guess there are fakes everywhere. You are saving people stress and money. 😊

      As long as there are no counterfeit RVA's out there ... I'm GOOD!

    One way I found out if it's a fake . Is by booting recovery mode . I got a screen with Chinese words and a different mode layout

    The ONLY way to know a fake phone you need to know: if it is 99 bucks, it's fake, duh.

    install a custom rom and overclock it (just a little) . i have done that to older cheap samsung models and it helped allot. just a thought.....

    Essentially if the phone looks or acts like a piece of junk then it's not the real deal 😂

    They have gotten pretty sneaky on these off offbrand phones. Not bad for the price. But hope some of you guys are aware. It's like a budget phone persay

    Pretty good match to the original i say. Usually the safety codes on the back are bogus.

    I have the S8, I wasn't sure if that cell used the newer Samsung plug, etc. Tho technically the cable n wall chargers are normally BLACK for the real S8 and S8 plus but the cable is bigger n not the smaller USB plug.

    For anyone who doesnt know, if you go to the phone and dial *#0*# it will bring up a hidden test menu on REAL samsung devices. Maybe not on their A series phones but for the flagships this is the easiest way to tell

  • @nonolabs

    For a $100 what's wrong with it? It's not an S8+ but for $100 a lot of people would be happy.

    • @nonolabs
      @nonolabs 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Critical Thinker The title says $99 so that's what I went with. But yeah for $200 I'd rather get a Korean phone.

    • @TampaTec
      @TampaTec  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      my brother paid 100 but he charged me 200.

    • @mrsgbee8246

      Are we forgetting the phone is illegal? Made by crooks? Making our world a bad place?

    • @RPRosen-ki2fk
      @RPRosen-ki2fk 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tampatec Nice brother you have there. LOL Eventually he'll need a TV repaired & you can ... return the FAVOR.

    • @jh5881

      Tampatec Not cool that your brother charged you 100% more than cost IMO. Family doesn't treat family like strangers/friends.

  • @johnll1693

    Another way to verify an Authentic Samsung, connect to usb then to your pc. Then check to see if your pc is looking for drivers other than Samsung, ie: mtk, then it's a fake!

    So he bought it 100 $and sold it to you 200$ nice brother

  • @dpjp107

    Looks like a refurbished phone with old phone parts

  • @THOMMGB

    I had no idea that such a complex electronic item as a smart phone could be counterfeited. Rather than simply return this phone, I would let customs and enforcement know who sold your brother this phone. Let them bust him and collect all his unsold stock. I'd tell Samsung as well, although they probably know all about it.
    Regards, Tom

  • @krazed98
    @krazed98 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I hope you dont take offense, but your brother should not be charging you double what he paid for a phone. I can understand if he bought it in hopes of selling it to someone else and you offered the 200 though.

    Useful video. "Caveat emptor" or "Buyer beware" as the saying goes. I generally find that if a deal sounds too good to be true,it probably is. Human nature makes it hard to resist a "bargain". Thanks for sharing.

  • @omarguerrero6417
    @omarguerrero6417 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The only way you know it's fake is by the charger

    • @TampaTec
      @TampaTec  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      what is different?

    • @omarguerrero6417
      @omarguerrero6417 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tampatec the font size and print error on it

    • @omarguerrero6417
      @omarguerrero6417 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      For example Samsung now used black and gray on their new phone but when it comes to outdated phone they are white cable

    • @omarguerrero6417
      @omarguerrero6417 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      And a other way to tell is by the spec of the device

      yes, i'm from nyc and nj i used to be a NJdevils fan but now i'm a Lightning fan since i live here in Tampa since 1999 i played some roller hockey and little ice hockey growing up.

    • @WaterKingCrocodoan

      Tampatec, glad to see one of the over 100,000 subscribers channel to be a fan of hockey!
      Cuz not a lot of youtubers like hockey. :)

  • @ahdityuh

    The protective plastic on the screen also says "S8 edge" there is no such phone.

    • @ahdityuh
      @ahdityuh 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As you said the real phone uses amoled display. And Samsung phones always have Samsung and Microsoft apps preinstalled in them. Another subtle hint is the charging port and headphone jack being out of alignment.
