Meizu serial number. Meizu: how to identify the model (all ways) and check the originality. How to backup data in Meizu

The problem of counterfeit and non-original smartphones is relevant and requires the attention of potential buyers.

Previously, a fake could be distinguished from the original quite simply, because it was very different from the original phone. The obvious difference was in almost everything: appearance, build quality and screen, software features and, of course, price.

Today, it has become difficult to recognize non-original phones. Chinese manufacturers have risen to a new level - now fake devices differ slightly from the originals. If the user has not previously held a real gadget in his hands, he may not notice the substitution at all.

Not only branded smartphones, for example, Apple and Samsung, but also popular Chinese brands of well-known companies - Xiaomi, Meizu, Vivo and others, manage to counterfeit. In order not to fall into the hands of scammers, you must definitely check the device. You can do this with a few simple tips.

Check by IMEI

The most popular method that can be applied to gadgets of any manufacturer is checking by IMEI. This is a special device that is assigned to devices by the manufacturer at the production stage. Usually IMEI consists of 15 digits:

• the first 6 indicate the batch number;
• the next 2 - the code of the country of manufacture;
• then 6 digits show the serial number of the smartphone;
• the last digit is the main one and allows you to check the phone for originality.

IMEI is in the warranty card and on the phone itself - usually under the battery. It needs to be checked against the code, which can be found in the settings. To check the match, you must dial the combination of numbers * # 06 #. The 15 digits that appear must completely match those indicated in the settings, warranty card, case and on the box of the device. If there are any discrepancies, then something is not clean with the gadget - either the device itself, or the box or documents have been replaced.

If the codes match, you need to check the IMEI according to the manufacturer's database - scammers are powerless here.

• Huawei/Honor - https://consumer.huawei.com/

Features and Applications

Another quick and easy way to check the device for originality is to compare the characteristics of a smartphone with those listed on the official website of the manufacturer. To be sure, you can use third-party applications, such as AnTuTu or CPU-Z.

There is also a special program for checking the authenticity of phones -. Just download it to your smartphone and click the "Verify Phone" button. Next, you need to follow the link and scan the QR code that appears. After these manipulations, the program will analyze the device and report whether the phone is original or not.

It is worth noting that some fake devices have a pre-installed patched version of AnTuTu, which shows fake characteristics and misleads the user. In order not to fall for the trick, download the latest version of the application on Google Play.

External signs

Particular attention should be paid to the appearance of the smartphone and build quality. Very often, a fake can be recognized thanks to the screen - despite the fact that its diagonal is usually identical to the original, you can see a small strip of white or silver color above or below, due to which the display becomes smaller.

You also need to be alert when a third-party manufacturer or operator logo appears on the display when you turn on the phone. Often, Chinese copies have a different arrangement of buttons, cameras, speakers, and other elements. You should also carefully consider the brand name - for non-original devices, the inscriptions may be crooked and contain errors, for example, Sansung, Aplee, Xioami, and so on.

Service Tag Check

Service codes make it easy to check the authenticity of smartphones from the South Korean manufacturer - Samsung. These devices are counterfeited very often, because the company occupies a leading position in sales in the world.

To check the device, just dial a combination of numbers: * # 7353 #. If the smartphone enters the component testing menu, then you are holding the original device in your hands. If the phone did not react in any way, it is most likely a fake.

Subtleties in the software

Many companies equip smartphones with proprietary firmware. For example, Xiaomi gadgets run on MIUI, Meizu runs on Flyme, and Samsung is equipped with TouchWiz. If, when buying a Xiaomi device, instead of MIUI, another interface is preinstalled or it is not there at all, it is worth considering. The software of the original smartphone usually works smoothly and stably, while Chinese counterparts can slow down and show ads.

Another important point, at the sight of which it is worth considering, is the translation of the interface. Usually, manufacturers are sensitive to such trifles, and the creators of fakes pay little attention to this, which is why the phrases are clumsy. For example, the phrase "To unlock, swipe the screen" can be translated as "Swipe the screen to unlock." Typical automatic translation in the style of AliExpress.

To make sure that the smartphone is original, you need to go to the settings and carefully examine the information about the software of the gadget. If necessary, it can be compared with the data that should be on the original device.

Price

The price of the phone is also one of the important indicators of authenticity. You should be wary if a gadget worth 700-800 dollars is offered to be purchased for 200-300 dollars. Before buying, you need to check the price of the device in official stores and ask the seller all your questions.

2. - there is a plate under the battery, it has the serial number and imei of the phone.
3. - on the packaging - a cardboard box from a mobile phone.

Before you pay for the phone, it is advisable to find and compare all these four imei codes: on the Maisy MX 4-core 64Gb phone, on the package, in the warranty card and in the ROM device memory. Of course, they must all be the same and not have traces of forgery.

How to return a lost Meizu phone by imei?

How to find phones by imei? This was described earlier, the unique imei number of the Meizu cell phone must be blacklisted - in the database of stolen phones and wait for it to "light up" in the operator's network. The base of stolen emei is replenished by the police at the request of citizens and must be located in all telecom operators. Such phones, after entering the network, should be immediately blocked. Next, the location of such a phone should be determined and a signal sent to the police "Stolen Meizu mx2 32gb 64gb phone found - He is here ...". In countries where operators maintain blacklists, stolen phones become just a useless piece of plastic, worth nothing and most often go for spare parts or IMEI reprogramming.

Hence the question arises: Is it possible to change the IMEI of the Maisy mx2 32gb 64gb phone and other models? And yes and no, you can, but not on all devices. On old phones and on cheap Chinese phones, craftsmen change IMEI; on new models of devices, changing IMEI is almost impossible. Manufacturers, in particular Meizu, are constantly improving protection against flashing. It is also necessary to add that such actions with the phone are criminally punishable. There are examples when for such cases, people received terms. If you do not take into account Western countries, then for example, in Kazakhstan there is such an article according to which you can get up to three years in prison for flashing an imei. In other countries, maximum sentences can reach 5-8 years in prison. In Russia, such actions are qualified under Articles 272 and 273 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In judicial practice, there were both facts of issuing indictments with the imposition of a sentence in the form of three years' imprisonment on probation and acquittals.

The new owner of the Meizu phone is easy to figure out, and then you have to explain where the mobile phone came from, who sold it, who stole it, etc. In order not to run into a stolen Maisy m9 phone, this model and others, you need to check everything. You need to buy a phone only in a complete set - a phone, a native charger, instructions with a warranty card, packaging. If all this is there, you need to check the IMEI on the box, on the sticker under the battery, in the warranty card, and display the number on the 3.54-inch screen of the Meizu m9 phone with the *#06# command. Suspicion should be caused by the following: incomplete equipment, scuffs near the imei number on the box, coupon and under the battery, a crookedly pasted sticker on the phone, if there are traces of its re-gluing. It is better to refuse to buy such a mobile phone.

how check phone authenticity

Photo gallery: How to check phone authenticity

The mobile phone has long since passed into the category of devices of urgent need, without which none of us can do. Despite the abundance of various brands and models of devices, a significant part of them continues to be imported through semi-legal schemes. The so-called "gray" phones have an advantage in price category, and this is what attracts buyers.

Checking the phone for authenticity

When importing semi-legal phones, the company does not pay customs duties, as a result of which the final price of products is 30% -40% lower than analogues. Such schemes for the import of the product are quite profitable, because. at low costs, products are sold with the highest margin. As a result, such telephones are much cheaper, outwardly they do not differ from the unique devices of Samsung, Nokia, HTC, etc., but they do not have any guarantees of authenticity from the manufacturer.

Checking the phone is a fundamental procedure, because. when buying a "gray" device, the user completely loses the possibility of servicing in the service centers of the official manufacturer. Such products are not covered by the company's warranty and in the event of a device malfunction, you will have to throw such an acquisition into the trash. IMEI Authentication Each mobile phone is assigned a unique serial number during manufacture, called the IMEI.

This code represents the failure of the international identifier in the accepted standard, which is displayed to the cellular operator when the phone is authorized on the network. Regardless of the device model and manufacturer's brand, IMEI is standard for all devices and allows you to check phone on authenticity.

How to distinguish a fake on Xiaomi, Meizu, Lenovo. | China Service

Who will surprise you with a Chinese copy of different iPhones or Samsungs? Another thing is fakes on Xiaomi, Meizu, Lenovo. In that.

Comparison of Chinese and official versions MEIZU M3S.

We decided to compare 2 identical smartphones. One of which came directly from China, and the second was bought from the officials.

To confirm the originality of the phone you purchased, you need to do a few simple steps:

1. On the phone keypad, type the combination "". Confirm the action by pressing "Enter".
2. A 15-character IMEI code, which was set by the manufacturer, will appear on the screen of the mobile device. The first 6 characters indicate the series of the device, the 7th and 8th digits indicate the country code of the phone manufacturer, and the subsequent characters indicate the serial number of the device. The last digit of the IMEI code is a check (reserve) number that determines the authenticity of the device by the manufacturer. Important! If the mobile gadget has 2 slots for SIM cards, then the same number of codes will be displayed on the screen.

Then we compare the IMEI code that appears with the number that is printed on the back of the phone. To do this, take out the battery and find the code.

Important! We pay attention exclusively to the last 6 digits of the identifier. If your device is original, then these designations will match the numbers that the device displayed on the screen. How to check a cell phone upon purchase You can check the phone for authenticity not only by the IMEI code.

Before you pay for a large purchase at a retail outlet, you should consider other features of the gadget:

1. Cost is the first indicator that you should pay close attention to when buying a phone. If the price is too low and is about a third of the officially accepted value for this manufacturer, this is a clear confirmation of a fake.
2. Gadget weight - when examining the device, compare the indicators of the purchased model with those stated on the official website of the manufacturer. As a rule, non-original devices weigh an order of magnitude less.
3. Be sure to evaluate the quality of color reproduction, expansion, screen graininess. Compare the expansion rates with those indicated in the technical description of the gadget.
4. Also on phone authenticity indicates the fact that the battery and the device itself must be made by the same brand.
5. Beware of gadgets that have additional slots for memory cards or SIM cards that are not declared in the manufacturer's technical description. And finally, carefully inspect the phone for the quality of its assembly. There are no backlashes in the original models, all panels fit snugly to the body, the designations are printed in a clear font.
