As for parallel goods and licensed goods, many aircraft users inevitably have various doubts before buying them, such as what is parallel goods? What is the 14 day machine? What's the difference between parallel goods and licensed goods? If you want to buy a new mobile phone, but you don't know about licensed products and parallel products, you can read this article before making plans.

Authentic goods

Authentic licensed products, such mobile phones refer to products sold through the manufacturer's formal channels, which are generally sold through the agency system. There is a network access license issued by the Ministry of Information Industry beside the battery slot behind the machine. Each mobile phone will be accompanied by a national joint guarantee certificate "Three Guarantees Card", which clearly stipulates that if there is an unintentional quality problem, the mobile phone will be returned unconditionally within one week from the date of purchase, replaced unconditionally within 15 days, and guaranteed free of charge for one year. The authenticity of authentic licensed goods can be identified by telephone, SMS, and online inquiry. Generally, mobile phones are expensive.

Smuggled goods

First of all, the smuggled mobile phones are not fake, but generally refer to those smuggled mobile phones that are produced and sold abroad, flow into the domestic market through various channels, and do not pay the national taxes. To put it simply, smuggled mobile phones are mobile phones that fail to declare customs and pay taxes through normal channels. Our common European version, 14 day machine and Hong Kong branch are also parallel goods.

European version water machine

European version of the water machine, also known as European version, revision, water change and so on. This kind of mobile phone should be called a real parallel product. These mobile phones were originally sold to Europe at a very low price. They were smuggled into China without paying customs duties. Naturally, the price is much cheaper than authentic licensed products. Since the interface of the mobile phone is in English, if it is sold in China, it must be changed to simplified Chinese first. The business will turn its English software into Chinese software (plus Chinese character library) to make it a mobile phone sales supporting Chinese. In the case of new models that have just been launched abroad but have not yet been launched in China, the software of these mobile phones may have some minor errors at the beginning, such as a crash, no access to GPRS, no Chinese input, etc., but with the upgrade of the software version, these problems can be solved one by one. Some will cause white screen, total crash, automatic shutdown and other phenomena due to improper machine brushing.

14 Tianji

The 14 day mobile phone is a very common product in China's mobile phone market. In principle, it should be a kind of parallel product, because many mobile phone enthusiasts are not familiar with it. Let me briefly talk about it here.

In foreign countries, such as Europe and North America, network operators have such a service: you only need to open a number in the network, sign a usage agreement, pay a certain amount of phone charges every month, pay a full two years to own the phone, and give it a 14 day trial period. If you feel dissatisfied, you can cancel the agreement and return the phone to the network operator. This is a little similar to the prepaid mobile phone service launched by China Mobile and China Unicom in our country. The difference is that the service in foreign countries is more user-friendly. You can have a "14 day trial period". If you don't use it well, you can switch to another model within 14 days. It's up to you whether you want to use this network or not. So we have this 14 day machine. The quality of the machine is very good, 99~100% new, all original accessories.

Since Tianji has been tried in foreign countries, it is not a new machine in strict terms, it should be said that it is a "new machine"; However, it is difficult for us to identify from the appearance. As foreign network operators stipulate that mobile phones should not be damaged during the 14 day trial period, otherwise certain depreciation costs will be deducted. Therefore, many 14 day mobile phones cannot identify whether they are new from the appearance; We should start from these aspects:
1. Whether the package is worn; 2. Check the charging port and battery of the phone carefully for scratches, and check whether the headset and related accessories have been unpacked; 3. Access the mobile phone interface to check whether there are call records and address book records.

Bank of Hong Kong

Hong Kong licensed goods, also known as Hong Kong Branch, refer to mobile phones legally sold in Hong Kong. Since Hong Kong has no taxes on the delivery of mobile phones, only by adding various expenses in the sales process, mobile phone manufacturers from all over the world have landed, and the competition is fierce, making the mobile phones in Hong Kong cheaper than those in the mainland. Many mobile phone dealers use the price difference between the two places to sell Hong Kong mobile phones to the mainland. Therefore, Hong Kong licensed goods are also a kind of parallel goods compared with mainland licensed goods, but the quality of such parallel goods is also relatively good. The parts are basically the same as those in the mainland. Especially in recent years, with the close communication between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits and the three places, some manufacturers, in order to facilitate people in these regions to enjoy the services they deserve after purchasing their products and expand their sales market share, also enjoy the treatment of joint insurance for goods in Hong Kong and in the mainland. For example, Nokia and Motorola mobile phones can enjoy the service of national joint insurance in the mainland for one year.

guarantee

Taking Samsung S3 as an example, we can see from a shopping mall that all smuggled goods are store guarantees, which means that smuggled goods cannot enjoy the formal warranty, which means that once you encounter unscrupulous merchants, your rights and interests are hard to guarantee.

Conclusion: Parallel goods are essentially the same as licensed goods, but it is inevitable that some dealers will pass off inferior goods as good ones. Therefore, for those who are not poor in money and want to buy a guarantee, Xiaobian still does not recommend buying parallel goods. After all, the service and after-sales will be guaranteed for users who don't understand the goods!
