10 Ways to Easily Distinguish Genuine and Fake OPPO
There is a common joke that applies, namely the popularity of a product can be seen if the product has copies. A joke that is actually a fact of the phenomenon that is happening is an imitation product of a well-known product. For example shoes like Nike or Adidas, which have lots of KW versions. Even the KW has its own level.
The same applies to technology products, especially smartphones. In the past, cellphones appeared with the “supercopy” frill from the Samsung series. Lately, Xiaomi has been popular in the community and because of this popularity there have also been a lot of fake Xiaomi products circulating.
It turns out that there are also many imitations, aka KW, for cellphones produced by OPPO. It’s natural to remember marketing OPPO, which is quite high and aggressive, makes HP from OPPO so popular. Not infrequently people want to buy HP OPPO.
This fact is exploited by irresponsible persons by selling counterfeit cellphones which have the OPPO brand on their outer packaging. Even with a design that is similar to the original OPPO series, consumers who buy fake OPPO cellphones are not too aware and feel that the product is genuine.
Casing Counterfeit OPPO cellphones can be made with a 3D printer machine. For those of you who don’t know, currently the printer industry has reached printer technology in 3D form. That is, we can print an item or product with only 3D printer technology. Individuals may scan the original HP OPPO product and then edit and reprint it using a 3D printer.
Because from the mere physical appearance of these fake OPPO cellphones they tend to be similar, so it’s a bit difficult to tell which ones are genuine and which ones are fake if you just glance at them. Those of you who intend to buy an OPPO cellphone and just buy it, of course, have to be careful, considering that there are not a few OPPO KW cellphones in circulation.
For this reason, the Caris Signal team will explain how to distinguish genuine and fake OPPO cellphones. The explanation of this difference is of course to help you be more careful when buying an OPPO cellphone. What are the differences? Here’s the discussion.
1. Check IMEI Online
The easiest way to differentiate between genuine and fake Oppo phones is to check the IMEI number on the cellphone. For your information, the IMEI number is a kind of “identity number” for cell phones. Just like a person having a NIK (residential identification number), each HP unit has an IMEI number which is of course different from one another.
Each OPPO HP unit that is officially sold, of course, already has its own IMEI number identity. This IMEI number has been recorded and can be checked online. So, when you get or just buy an OPPO HP unit, check the IMEI number on the site Device Authentication OPPO. Enter the IMEI number listed on the OPPO cellphone.
If the IMEI number is registered, of course the OPPO cellphone is a genuine cellphone. If not, the HP is KW. This way of distinguishing genuine and fake OPPO is of course easier to do because the IMEI number is generally listed in the sales box or can be accessed easily with the code *#06#.
In addition, for devices that enter Indonesia officially, the IMEI number is usually registered on the Ministry of Industry (Ministry of Industry) website. Make sure your OPPO cellphone is registered with IMEI so you can enjoy the internet network.
2. Checking with the Secret Code “Engineer Mode”
How to distinguish genuine and fake OPPO can also be tested using the secret code “Engineer Mode.” This code can be accessed by *#800# from your OPPO cellphone. Later, you will enter “Engineer Mode” with several choices testing hardware. You can test covering hardware, connectivity, phone battery, and so on.
Sample testing can be done by viewing the information and testing of the selected part. For example, after entering “Engineer Mode”, you select the battery. Later information will appear regarding the health of the HP OPPO battery.
If when you check it turns out that there is information that your OPPO HP battery is damaged, it could be that you bought a fake OPPO cellphone. Because I bought a new cellphone but it turned out that the battery was damaged and had to be replaced. You can do a similar test on other menu options.
3. HP OPPO specifications
The way to distinguish genuine OPPO from other fakes is to match the specifications of the OPPO HP that you buy with the specification information in the sales box. Or to make it more valid, you can check the specification information on the official OPPO website.
Case in point, you buy OPPO F5 Youth. In the form of the packaging, there is specification information that the OPPO F5 Youth already supports 4G and 4GB RAM (there is also a 3GB RAM variant).
When you open the HP OPPO F5 Youth that you bought, you can check the specifications by using CPU-Z or an application that provides other specification information. It turns out that the specifications are not as they should be. Maybe, the cellphone you bought is not the original unit.
4. Screen Clarity Level
Continuing from point 3 regarding screen clarity, the original OPPO HP has a good screen brightness level. OPPO has also implanted a screen with the latest technology on its newest cellphone. Of course, it will look different.
Fake OPPO cellphones have a number of densities pixel small one. As a result, when playing videos, the screen appears blurry.
To test it, you can play videos using the HP OPPO that you bought. If you find that the screen has a good brightness level, then you can be sure that your OPPO HP is genuine. If it looks blurry and the screen is not clear, then the OPPO HP is fake.
