3 Ways to Find Out if Your Android Smartphone or iPhone is Original or Not
Buying a look-a-like cheap branded phones are risk-prone. Although the price difference attracts many people, clone or counterfeit mobiles often are made of lesser quality components.
For instance, a cloned phone's touch screen may not be of same quality, processor likely is slower, or the battery is usually not up to the mark. Same goes for a refurbished mobile. Recently, many e-commerce websites have introduced a new category called 'Refurbished Phones'.
For those new, Refurbished phones are ones that are second-hand or box-opened repaired the damaged and polished. In both cases, many times it becomes tricky to identify whether phones both for android and iPhones you are using are original, cloned, or refurbished.
