Knock off gs3???

[ws6dom]

Anyone heard of a knock off gs3. I have a guy in town selling one says hes not sure if it is a knock off or the real thing. Says it works perfectly? What you guys think

 

[Hogan773]

sounds like trouble to me. I'd buy a knockoff polo shirt or something, but a knockoff SMARTPHONE??? You think all the little chips and transistors and stuff are exactly the same? Why even bother wasting time entertaining this avenue?

 

[ws6dom]

I just wasn't sure if this guy knew what he was talking about and it was the real deal. Ive never heard of such a thing lol

Can You Tell The Difference Between The Samsung Galaxy S3 and This Chinese Knockoff? [Video]

The picture of the back dosen't look like mine, also the battery has different cosmetics. It dosen't look like it says "Samsung" on the front of the phone, ("Samsung" should be written in silver just beneath the Telephone speaker)

 

[ws6dom]

Thanks definitely going to stay away from it..

 

[KevSmileTime]

Yep, it's a knock-off. Bezel is way too big, light sensors and ffc should be a little lower than the earpiece, and the back is completely different. In addition to what randy said about SAMSUNG being right below the earpiece.

Looks like the HDC S3 i9300. And yeah, I'd stay away from it.

Amazing to me......

I guess basically they're just taking some older guts of an Android phone and plopping it into a fake GS3 case?

I'll bet Samsung's IP lawyers are all over this sh*t.

No, they've contracted it out to Apple's lawyers.

Here's a link with a knock off GS3:

Like buying a knock off Rolex. U want the real thing, buy the real thing!

Find the IMEI number from the box, under the battery or in "About Phone". Enter the IMEI number in this site International Numbering Plans,

Just found this on Fleabay Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II S2 White *MUST READ BEFORE BUYING* 8806071652344 | eBay
Note the lack of the Samsung logo at the top of the phone.

Even if not a knock off it could be water damaged or stole and would be useless. I'd stay well away
