Redskull wow 1 like
Sir what price of real s7?
verrry grrrooodd
I will buy the fake S7 as a birthday present to my fake girlfriend :)
+MegaBojan1993 hahaha, thats the best comment ive seen in a while!
+Redskull Thanks, I'm glad you've liked it. BTW copies of S7 in my country are much worse than the one you got. But my GF deserves that :)
MegaBojan1993
Serbia i assume from the name? We are neighbors :) yeah there is another s7 clone that has a plastic frame and a dual core processor and a horrible display
Redskull You were close but you haven't guessed my country. I'm from Macedonia :)
MegaBojan1993
damn :) still around the eastern block :D
Just throw both of them in the water and you'll know which is which
The S6 ain't waterproof.
WAandCASirens You have no idea what you're talking about
Oops, forgot my glasses, The S7 is Waterproof, got it confused as a S6.
Throw them to your face and you would know your face won't work
Lol.
Also the fake one has this black bars around the screen
that's because the real s7 has super amoled which has the digitizer and the screen integrated together so it doesn't have that black space, but the other one dosen't have super amoled of course so it has that black space
nope
+Mah friend you're an idiot
There is the one easiest way to test the fake, with your real Samsung phone simply go to phone and
dial * # 0 * # (no spaces, i put space because this youtube wont allow me to input *), a test screen will appear, choose "sensor" and under sensor choose "image test" and a chihuahua dog image will appear in the real samsung device. This is how the Samsung people told me to check
+Catthy Wulan I just tried this. You are 100% correct. Thanks for the tip Catthy!
+Catthy Wulan thanks for the tip!
you are welcome, happy to help :-D
tried this and you are right thanks so much
RPD STARS team and Tantalus brother nice THX bro
Big things you missed:
1) The fake one has two round camera thingies below the flash, the real one has the pulse sensor
2) On the sim card tray, the real one has a rubber gasket for waterproofing
3) The fake has a black edge around the screen
Also, I'd have liked to see what CPU-Z has to say about the fake one.
Sweet intro!
Love your vids!!!
+Mario Paath thanks for watching
JerryRigEverything that was my favorite part😂
JerryRigEverything JERRY!
love your videos zack
The software makes a difference, too.
Some of the screen/icon items you're talking about change due to Android version differences...not because it's fake. Example: At 05:24 Android 8.0.0 does not have the "arrow". It uses a parallel set of lines in the center bottom of the drop-down pane to perform that function. Instead, in the upper right corner Android 8.0.0 has only the settings "gear" until you drop-down the rest of the pane, which then adds the familiar vertically aligned 3 dots indicating more options...in this case options dealing with "button order" and "button grid".
the black screen is the best way to tell. AMOLED costs too much to put into a fake galaxy phone.
The fake s7 has a "grey" display
I wish I had watched this video before I got conned. I bought a fake one a few months back. I never was able to get it to work beyond 3G which should have been a big indicator. When i started troubleshooting I booted into recovery mode and it showed nothing but Chinese. I started searching and found another video from another youtuber explaining what the different chinese menu options were in Chinese clones. Your doing a great service to the internet in explaining this. Another item you might say that if you hold down the power, volume up, and menu bottons while the phone is powered off it will boot to a menu with a bunch of Chinese text on it if it is fake.
+Brandon Bridges that sucks man... It's alright if someone buys a fake knowing that it is a fake... But buying a phone and figuring out that it's fake really sucks. Yeah, that's a good suggestion. Ill try to remember that for the Fake s8 video
oh thank god i dont have a fake one ... and the real one to :(
+twenty years of silence happy to hear!
Alex. Always the best. People should be swarming on TH-cam. Why. Honesty. Second very good reviews, third website for buying. Again not promoting just your review is great which made me buy some of the android boxes and I have outstanding results. Thank you again.
Sorry one more post , you go further in a box, cameras, or the data of the device, which is a 100 plus, because no one would go into the details....never ....so fantastic review. Check all of his reviews, they are very detailed inside of the item.
+richie rich thanks man! :)
The difference in screen while on AoD mode is because the fake one uses an LCD panel whereas the real one uses an AMOLED display.
thank God I got the real one
I want the real one if I got fake one then I gonna kill myself
I'm gonna kill myself, I have the fake one.
I bought mine on amazon. (G930F) seller didn't include IMEI number, called samsung international and they couldn't recognize my IMEI. It was hell. Thank GOD I got the real one.
How'd you know it was real tho, if not for the IMEI?
***** Benchmarks and all the internal specs were the same. An offbrand wouldn't put as much into it as samsung does. Plus, on EVERY clone I've seen the heart rate monitor is different from the original.
Anybody know where i can buy this phone my 13 son wants a s7 edge for Christmas and i cant afford a real one.
The Unadvisedguy online maybe ebay😒🙄🙄🙄

Amazon or ebay
love the accent! and a great video! you've earned another subscriber, keep up the good work
+Surachai Airak thanks for watching
keep on replying to your subscribers. We love that. Makes us feel appreciated
Surachai Airak
i think that if someone takes the effort to write i can take the same effort to respond. A thing of respect in my opinion.
Hello Alex, my S7 edge opens like the original, but the information on the back is like the fake one, so, is my S7 real or fake? I'll be so happy if you replied
so you have an S7 Edge? or a regular S7? There is no S7 edge fake at the moment...there is also an app in the play store that can help you see if your phone is fake or real " search fake s7"
I have an S7 edge. I'll download the program and see. Thank you!
Vendetta Lavinga
you are safe, there is no fake S7 Edge yet
Thank you very much.)
really ? come to china and i will show you a fake s7 edge
2:39 also an easy way to tell, the real one has the rainbow effect on bright reflections, due to the metal behind the glass scattering the light. Same effect can be seen on my gold s7 edge.
3:49 and around the screen, a very very thin highly reflective "band" of exposed metal can be seen on the real one, kinda framing the display. Subtle effect, not replicated in the fake ones.
4:30 that aint a reliable way to tell em apart though, as the real S7 Edge has NO samsung logo in the front, if its store-bought. But if you buy a carrier bound version (such as Verizon in the USA), it does have a samsung logo in the front.
Easiest way to make sure you buy the real S7 is buy direct from the store Verizon, Tmobile, AT&T, Sprint etc. Even Straight Talk has it now for $599. Straight Talk runs off all the major companies and their S7 runs off the best Verizon. Just don't buy online if you can. If you're gonna online buy from a legit site like I said with the stores. Avoid Ebay altogether. If you can't afford the phone right away or don't want to be locked in a contract, just safe up the money or wait until tax season. Straight Talk also has a lease plan for their phones now. So if you can't afford the cash up front you can pay it over time. But it is based on credit, active bank account and you must use it on Straight Talk only until the phone is paid. You will have the phone payment and plan payment every month until the phone is paid off, then it's just the plan after that. Yes there is interest rate but a early payoff option. You monthly payment and how long you will be paying on it is based on your credit. You will need 1st months payment up front. So that might be a option for you. Best try to save that money up, even put change in a jar every time you get it. Sell all those old cellphones and put that money back. Keep saving if you can. I know it can be hard especially these days, but if you want it bad enough you will. If not go for the Straight Talk lease thing for it. It's called Smart Lease.
Is Amazon a trustworthy site to buy a phone??
I have bought phones from Amazon before, so yeah to a point. Just make sure it's not from a seller overseas. If it's direct from Amazon then it's trustworthy.
If i have logo on the screen Verizon when i turn phone on, is it prove its not fake?Damn i have some things fake and some things are real wtf.Slot card is plastic(he says fake one has playstic) but other things look real.I dont know
I bought mine of a trusted website, $350 (aud) and it is a real one
Your Marvel style splash screen is AMAZING :)
+C. Назаров thanks for watching
thanks for verrry useful reviews and comparisions
today im going to buy this from my local seller and this comparision helped me very well to identify fake and original one
Guys a spoiler for you all: The fake ones have started showing up in boxes quite similar to the original one i.e. with the flaps. And regarding the fake products here is my pov:
1) Always on display on the original stays true black vs the fake one.
2) Build quality has a major difference just get an original in the hand and you will see what I am trying to say.
3) The os on fake is old one.
4) Use a finger for scanner and then use different finger to unlock it the fake one will open still as its just a simulated fp. But be aware fake S6 are already have surfaced in the game with real quad hd and fp. So its a matter of time for the S7 to be the same.
5) The metal band around the real is metal while the fake one has plastic. But even fake one are now being manufactured to have real metal bands.
6) On the fake one theres plastic build and on the real its glass but now fake ones have started glass build.
7) Check the heart rate sensor on the fake and the real in the video around. You will notice some big difference also.
The iris scanner too.
also, the original has a rubber gasket on the sim tray, the fake doesn't
1 thing you missed: The black border around the LCD screen on the fake S7. The real S7's AMOLED panel fits right perfectly, whereas the fake ones doesn't
+CheungyNSX yeah, ive seen that many people noticed that thru the comments.

I'm right away in love with the intro 😍😍
+Muhammad Uzair Ehtasham thanks for watching
I was waiting for you to show the setting status. I bought a fake one and in setting, about, status, it'll show you that the cpu is a mt5695 (MediaTek) instead of qualcomm snapdragons 820 or Samsung Oxynos. Checking that alone would already tell you that you have a fake one. Be careful guys if you buy online.
thanks for the tip!
I like your own custom marvel intro.
At Least, the fake one shows you the the navigation buttons all the time.. ;-)
Goto play store download galaxy button light. You can turn the off or on plus u can set it to 1 to 10 seconds
does the fingerprint sensor work on the fake one? its something that i would think would be complicated to implement at the OS level so fake ones wouldnt let you set up the fingerprint sensor.
on this one doesn't work but since ive made this video there have been made better clones that have a real fingerprint scanner
buttons at the button
lang
Thanks this helped. I got a great deal on a new Galaxy S7 Duos and I started having doubts with all the fakes. But everything seems to have checked out.
nice! Im happy that this helped!
same thing happened to me lol
still not sure haha
Mahad Hussain
check out my latest fake device! The iPhone 7 Plus! :)
I still have my doubts a little about my phone because of the bandwidth. Since its a Duos, I don't know if that is the reason or if I got some shit phone. I checks out in every way and when I go to the about phone section it does say "genuine" But I still worry. It has terrible reception. My S6 will be full bars and the S7 will have 1
that marvl intro though
+Cooke 125 :)
bruh!
Yeah :D
😂😂😂😂😂
RedSkull how did you nake this rolling intro? is there a tutorial on youtube? and howbis that effect called that roll thing, thx

Do real s7 duos phones have the blurb on the back cover? I've seen some unboxing vids of them that may or may not have them so I'm just wondering what to look for when I buy one
ive never seen a S7 duos before, i can't say
Спасибо мужик!
The obvious difference is the position of the USB ports at 1:24 .
yes boss
wow! there is almost no difference between the fake one and the real one.

+Redskull how's the performance on the fake one???
Random Stuff
not bad at all; not anywhere close to the real thing. Check out the review video of the fake one.
I just bought an s7 on Ebay..... not i worries that i was scammed. I will find out Saturday.
This video will be very very helpful when it comes in. Thank u so much in advance.
hopefully you got a good one... can't believe that this 3 years old video is still useful! Thanks for watching
when you can't afford a real s7
get a job.
+ethan t I'm 14 and my mom is not rich. So..? Gtfo
That Vixen Simmer buy other cheaper original phone
i think the best way to see if its real or fake is to run a antutu test on them.......that will tell you exactly if the hardware and software is from samsung or not.........what do you think redskull?
lmao it was instantly obviously once i saw the screens
Your intro is awesome!
+Bionicle16 thanks for watching :)
yes I have a real one ^_^

Love that intro !!
Very thorough, good vid.
thanks for watching
I might need some help here, My friend got a Samsung Galaxy S7 and i was curious if it was a fake and i asked her to hand it over to me for some time, she gave it to me and I clicked on this video and I am extremely confused, everything which is included on the real phone is there except for the extra text at the back, now i am really confused if the phone is a fake or if it's a real.
Thank you so much for this video! It was very detailed and helpful in figuring out that the phone I had bought is indeed fake...
btw i love your opening sequence like marvel!
Thanks for watching. Im glad that the video was helpful. Welcome to the channel
great video. how did you make the intro ??
+Parth Shah an online company made it for me. Search for "marvel intro"
+Redskull like this. love you
what skin theme are you using on the real s7?
Of course, what you said is correct. I always check all these things before buying a new phone. Last week I bought an S8+. Will it also have the same problem.
the S8 clones aren't too good this year, they are very easy to spot
So useful. Well done 👍🏽
Hi Redskull, I have a question for you? What do you think about the Chinese phone call LeTv LeEco 2? It's worth for the price? It will work in Canada with our network Kodo for example?? Plss help me with your advice!!! Thanks a lot!!!
I honestly don't remember much about that phone... but look on my channel, there are a lot of new phones that are pretty awesome and they will work with Koodo
3:01 real one on the left has the heart rate monitor under the flash, whereas the fake one on the right doesn't have heart rate monitor. instead just two dots. #deadgiveaway
Thanks for the info broski. Can you do one for the s7 duo??
don't have that phone
@@RedskullPro well comrade all I can say now is "сделать Америку снова было бы здорово" ;-)
I'm not Russian either :)
@@RedskullPro neither am I. Except for when I am trying to get to the airport =)
how do I download flip board on my gs7 mine didn't came with it I kind of like it tbh
Man thank you for the video. I saw that the s7 genuine you showed, imported from Canada or you live in Canada cuz in Russia the official s7 model must be SM-G930FD
+esentay can i am located in canada
2:45 i need help i didnt get it...wich one is the real one??
Love ur intro XD , Damn !! ur gifted or better say Talented ?!! :D
+Sulja Rock thanks for watching
Redskull my pleasure :D
redskull i have a question....when you press many times the android version button in ''about phone'' ,the android version symbol appears......and when you press a long time the symbol a game appears wright? so my question is : do the fake phones ass well have this game or not?
+imp3rator T man... i don't have that phone anymore... and i didn't try... at the next clone i get ill try it out
Excellent video and explication. I have to say yourrrr accent makes funnierrrrrr this kind of videos (keep it in touch) xD
Regards,
+Ricardo Feced Ibañez haha, thanks for watching
where r u from man? your accent is so strong!! good video though
romania
For me, the giveaway is the silver/golden finish around the screen, front camera, and sensors that indicates fine craftsmanship. Still, I am shocked.
+Jasper T. for most people that have seen the real s7 shouldn't be too hard to figure it out, but if you buy a phone on the street from someone...and you haven't seen the real thing...would be easier to get fooled
+Redskull It really is! I know I would've been fooled.
Redskull please i have samsung tablet tab A (made in vietnam by samsung) vietnam stuff are original or not ??
they can be made anywhere and the writing on them can be faked. I didn't seen any fake samsung tablets yet
i will try to figure it out thanks for helping ^_^
Thank you very much for the information, was very helpful, because some guy wanted to sell the fake as the real!! Thanks again =)
yeah, it happens quite a lot. Thanks for watching
5:30 why is the Display of the original S7 so pink?
+UnboxingTV just how the camera picked it up
Thank you very much for the nice and critical video. I have one question. Is possible to check the iMEI number and lookup it is genuine? Could we relay on IMEI as they can copy from other phones on both the box and the phone?
On the clones you can change the IMEI anytime
So does it mean we shouldn't relay on IMEI to identify genuine phones?
wondim no, a clone can take any IMEI
Thank you!
Awesome intro bro!
+JivBadS0 thanks for watching
Thank you for such a nice video....as it seems you shot this video on April.
Is it possible now (NOV) they clone new Fake with Android 6?
and next question is, all 64 GBs are Fake? or Original 64 also available?
thanks again
I am actually just uploading a new fake s7 edge video as i am typing this that has android 6.0. Check out that video in a couple of hours
Do you know how to disable safety mode on the S7 edge? I've tried restarting the phone but safety mode is still enabled.
that marvel intro is so good!
+Brendan Gardner thanks for watching
Can the fake phones already be signed to a company? Like sprint tmobile and more? Or are they supposed to be unlocked
You will not find fake phones with a company logo on them. The fake phones are supposed to be unlocked phones
+Redskull So im safe if a phone starts up saying "Sprint" "Tmobile" or any other top companys correct?
Panurgiic
oh yeah! there is also an app in the play store that can checkif your phone is fake or real. just search "fake samsung" in the playstore
+Redskull thank you for all the very quick replies and help. subscribed
Panurgiic
you are welcome. Thanks for visiting my channel
Can i ask you , is it have a Samsung logo on the screen and the back , because i don't see on the fake one in the link. Thank you :)
you aren't gonna see a logo on any website for fakes. They aren't allowed to sell fake items :) So that's why you don't see a logo anywhere. However, the phones do come with the logos.
There were times where my phone wouldn't have either the fake or the real ones designs. It passed most of the tests but if there were a few that weren't like the real one, is it fake?
there is an app in the play store ... search for "fake Samsung"
my s7 edge doesn't have the galaxy edge logo on back cover 🤔 I've seen some have it. does it mean mines fake?
there is not fake S7 Edge available yet. There will be one next week and i will bring it to the channel
no it doesn't my s7 edge only has samsung written I the back and I bought mine directly from Samsung in the UK. I think exynos has samsung only written on. the back and the snapdragon and other variants have s7 edge written on the back
Thanks so much for the video.
At what phone can we compare the Fake S7? in term of technical quality.... the S3?
i think an S2 would be more appropriate
but when I see the characteristics of my fake S7 it says ram memory 4GB which is same as the real one?
Naled N
everything is faked including the specs
shit, I owned the fake one during 4 months believing was the true. But something felt slow..
Naled N
That sucks man...
my settings look different than your i have s7 edge with at&t. How to i change it?
it will be a bit different depending on the carrier where you got it from...
Please, need some help to reset factory in boot menu (fake S7)
they are all different. You need what's called the engineering code
Oh gosh, :(
My bad. I have a Korean s7
Giovanni Vale Tofoli please help me I have korean
i need some info about korean s7... is that gd or bad...? & if i buy a fake one, can i use if 1 year without any problem ?? plz reply .TIA

Thanks bro. It's a good video. Fortunately, mine is the original one. My only problem is, I wanted to buy the SM-G930F but was sold the software-manipulated SM-G930V. I really don't like the North American carrier branded phones, cuz their 4GLTE bands are far different from my country's carriers. And actually bought the verizon unknowingly. :( The most annoying thing is, due to the manipulation, I cannot even upgrade the android version. Is there any help to revert the faking of the model? I want to upgrade to android 7. Any help will be appreciated.
How much was the fake one? I see a pretty legitimate looking unlocked s7 on Ebay (new condition) for £300 but they usually go for at least £480.
the fake was around $150 usd
Is there a fake s7 edge yet? I saw a website claiming they have clones of s7 edges but with same specs as the real one so wasn't sure if they were really clones or not :(
there is a very bad clone for the S7 edge that doesn't have the screen curved. Either than that there are no actual identical clones for the Edge
+Redskull Oh ok. A little bit of relief
hey, im new. i love ur intro
+Wooyeop Kim thanks for watching
its really nice
Is it possible that stores may sell fake ones? I'm pretty afraid because im gonna buy the edge and i don't want a fake one
there is no Edge clone at the moment. You are safe
is the edge version of the phone the same as the regular S7 like fake version?
it isn't available yet, it will be available in a week and ive already ordered one and i will do a comparison video between the real and fake S7 Edge
cuantas horas de pantalla dura la batería? .. y como se comporta en las multitareas?
+Miguel Angel depende...como 2 hora. por multitasking...como qualquier telefono con el procesor mtk6580.
2 Horas es muy poco, mínimo debería duras 5 a 6 horas.

pero acuerdate que esta telefono cuesta solo $140 y esta una copia...
+Redskull ek number video banayla hai ba edam rapchick boleto kya
I have the fake one... the storage is different too, I had to buy additional storage just to download a couple of games. It was a gift from my son:( should i tell him?
I had watched your video and then i finally bought the real one. Thanks for this amazing video! you are the best of explaining. :)
+Tan Tom the S7 is a great phone!
Redskull yes, thanks so much for tie time!
'
part 2 question...
how about open the both galaxys cases and see inside the electronics / boards / chips / colors...
see compare inside the electronics are same or not
+bestamerica that would be a very expensive test to take apart a galaxy s7... unfortunately i can't afford to do that
dont worry about a word expsve...
not important...
use the special cellularphone / pager tools at home...
or ask a friend or relative know about the cellularphone / pager or check online...
if not want it then fine no problem...
thank explain...
i did open my samsung sidekick 4G and clean up dust off
brother need a little help can you please tell me if my s7 edge charger is original or.not
+Hekmat Yar measure the output power
you should compare the specifications. its also important other than the physical differences
the fake one has the Samsung galaxy s5 processor because that how my camera looks and most of the feature are identical
Lol just because the features are similar doesn't mean the processor is the same. 😂😂
ethan t Wtf? If you knew one thing about computing and hardware, I'd kms.
he probaly wanted to say both have the same android version :D
Madara Uchiha The fake s7 has only quad core with a speed of 1.04 ghz,which is very slow
