With the improvement of upstream chipmakers' solutions and the maturity of Android system, the threshold of mobile phone manufacturing industry has become lower and lower. The shanzhai machine, which was once popular in the era of functional machine, has begun to enter its second spring. Today, the author acts as the "Fang Zhouzi" in the mobile phone industry, taking stock of those popular counterfeit phones, and seeing how deep their imitation skills are, which can teach people how to identify, and also meet our desire to complain.

Samsung Galaxy Note2

Similarity: ☆☆☆

In fact, Samsung's reputation in our industry is not very good. Because the Geshi series is suspected of imitating the iPhone, Samsung has always been known as the "world's largest copycat". However, a bad reputation does not mean that the product is difficult to sell. Since Samsung began selling Android products, its market share has risen steadily, Finally, with the success of the Galaxy series, it surpassed Nokia to become the world's largest mobile phone company.

Galaxy Note2 It is a popular product of Samsung, and has been selling well since its launch. Huaqiang North people soon realized the business opportunity and launched the counterfeit version of Note2 while the iron was hot. However, the counterfeit version of Note2 is not very similar to the real machine.

The sensors of the counterfeit version of Note2 are set on the left, while the real Note2 is on the right. The border width of the earpiece is also different, which also causes the copycat version of Note2 to be relatively bulky.

In addition to the difference in the width of the border, there are also slight differences in the button position of the chin. If you compare it with the real machine, you will find many differences.

The similarity of the back of the fuselage is relatively high, so if the copycat version of Note2 is put in the ear to answer the phone, ordinary people cannot identify it.

HTC One X

Similarity: ☆☆☆☆

One X is a key product of HTC, and its sales volume in the market is also very good. Because of its high reputation, it is also hard to escape being pirated.

The style similarity of the whole machine is quite high. If you don't look closely, it is easy to confuse the eyes and ears. The price of the counterfeit version of One X is only more than 1000, so once you are cheated, you will lose a lot. You must pay attention to the distinction here.

The handset hole of the copycat One X is relatively large and sparse, which can be identified.

There are three touch buttons on the chin, so it is difficult to find out the difference.

We can find many differences through the back of the fuselage. First, the shell material is different. The back shell of the One X real machine is made of polycarbonate material, and the texture is slightly frosted, so there will be no reflective effect, while the copycat version will have obvious reflective effect. The holes of the copycat speakers are also relatively large, and the density is relatively sparse.

Apple iPhone 5

Similarity: ☆☆☆☆☆

On the most eye-catching of the industry iPhone5 It has almost become the target of copycat imitation, and everyone's enthusiasm for imitation is quite high.

The front of the fuselage can be roughly seen as a fake, whether the size is 3D or the screen size is close to 1:1

The earpiece is in the same position as the front camera, so it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

The biggest difference should be the screw at the bottom and the data cable interface. The counterfeit iPhone uses a cross screw, while the real iPhone uses a five pointed star screw. The fake iPhone data cable interface is a micro usb standard. If you look carefully, you can see that the interface inside is not elliptical, nor does it support forward and backward insertion.

Because it is a 1:1 high imitation machine, the back of the machine body is exactly the same, which shows that it is fake iPhone Although fake, it is difficult to distinguish from the appearance design alone.

Summary:

Where there is demand, there is supply. The demand for counterfeit phones in the domestic market has always been very large, which is also the reason why it is so prosperous. The domestic low-end market has always been a hotbed for counterfeit phones. Although it is not healthy, it can also solve the needs of many people. However, the author personally feels that enterprises should try to avoid imitation if they have the ability to design independently, After all, it is difficult to really be recognized if we do not lose the label of "copycat".
