Do you know how to distinguish an original Samsung Galaxy S6 from a clone?

Nowadays, with the amount of options of web pages and other stores that are available, we can always find one that wants to take advantage of us and try to sneak a non-original device. There are many Chinese copies that appear to be an original product on the outside, but the details show that they were not made with the same care as the originals. The Samsung Galaxy S6 It is a device that is quite popular, and just as we like it, so do counterfeiters.

Although we think that we were never going to be fooled, there are very well made copies that could fool anyone if they are caught at a time when they do not notice everything. In fact, these copies are called clones, not knockoffs, because a clone is exactly the same as the original. Or well, almost. In this article we will show you all the small faults that a galaxy s6 clone.

Differences between a Samsung Galaxy S6 and a clone

From the following points, a clone can have several of them or only one. Logically, the more points of the following we see in a device, the more likely we are to be manipulating a clone. We can find the following imperfections:

Logically, a company like Samsung cannot make mistakes in packaging. If we open a box and see that the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a different color than the one indicated on the box, we have a 99% chance of being before a clone.
It is also important to look at the accessories that are included in the box. For example, the original headphones are Samsung and have a design that fits well in the ear. The clone headphones are generic, like the one we can find in any low-end phone.
The original charger has a inscription referring to fast charging (fast charge). In the clone loader, this inscription does not appear.
Once we take the phone out of the box, we also have to look at the construction of the device. Although we can always find an S6 that is not very well mounted, this should not be normal. If we pass our hand between the bezels and the front or back of the terminal, we have to feel that it is almost a block. Yes we notice some steps very pronounced, which can also be applied to the tray for the SIM, it is likely that what we have in our hands is a clone.

Another thing that can tell us that what we have is a clone is that the front camera is not perfectly centered in its hole. As in the previous point, it is true that a Galaxy S6, like any other device, can go wrong and not have the camera centered, but this would be an assembly fault that should not exist. If we see that the front camera, the rear or even the heart rate monitor are not centered, it is likely that we are manipulating a clone. And if none of these components are centered, we almost certainly have a clone.
The front button of a Galaxy S6 should be firmly fixed. If we move the finger above the button and move, maybe we have a clone.
In the rear mark where it says SAMSUNG (if it does), in a clone it can be noticed as a square that surrounds it. The feeling that we get when seeing this box is as if they had used a stamp to perform the impression by stroke. Logically, in an original S6 the brand is perfect and without any box surrounding it.
The perfect construction of an original Galaxy S6 also helps us to clean it better. We can clean an original S6 with a cloth without having to work too hard, something we can do with the shirt we are wearing at a certain time. A clone it will cost a lot more to clean, which shows that its finish is not as fine as the original.
Continuing the perfection of Samsung's manufacturing, the virtual button light from the bottom it has to be seen under some perfect drawings, while in the clone it may be more difficult to distinguish these drawings.
Samsung mounts a screen AMOLED, so if we turn on the device and tilt it, the screen will still be black. On the LDC screen of a clone, when turning it on and tilting it, we will see that the color decreases its intensity and turns gray.
If we can compare the ignition timing with an S6 that we know is original, the clone takes forever to start, which is normal because its hardware is much more discreet.
Also if we can compare it with an original S6, the clone screen shows a much lower definition.
The screen of an original S6 has a resolution of 1440 x 2560, while that of the clone has a resolution of just half, 720 x 1280. We can check this with applications that show us device data.
If your S6 does not have 4G or LTE connection, you have in clone.
The Android version of a clone will not be in any case the last, while the S6 original already uses Android 6.x.
El fingerprint sensor of a clone is so imprecise that we can save the fingerprint of one hand and unlock the phone with the same finger of the other hand.

Is it worth buying a clone of the Samsung Galaxy S6?

Well, this is the million dollar question. It all depends, but I would not risk. It is clear that for about € 150 we would have a device that looks like a Galaxy S6, but the important thing is inside. The performance is much lower and trying to mimic Samsung's TouchWiz, the lag will be present all the time.

On the other hand, a camera it may have the same megapixels as another, but megapixels are just image size. The important thing is the lens and the software (the processing), and this is not a particularly good thing in Chinese copies.

If the problem is money, I would recommend looking for a Chinese phone, but from major brands like Xiaomi, Huawei or Lenovo. It may be worth spending a little more, but it will be a safer bet. And if we can't afford what a recent model is worth, we can look for a model from an older year. In this way we will have an inexpensive device, of a good brand and, what seems more important, with support.
