Unexpectedly for myself, quite recently I happened to encounter a powerful Samsung tablet from the series Galaxy Note N8000 on 64Gb, and to be more precise, I had a chance to encounter a fake of this model.
The phone rang about a week ago. A friend called me and told me that he was offered to buy a new tablet for only $ 250. At that time he was interested the real cost of the tablet samsung galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 64Gb 3G, to which I answered him with data received from Yandex Market - the price of a new tablet varies from 7.9 to 9.5 million Belarusian rubles ($800 - $970).
For the sake of interest, I looked at the characteristics of this model.
Characteristics of the tablet Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 64Gb
- 4-core processor at 1400 MHz
- 2 gigabytes random access memory
- 64 gigabytes of built-in memory
- 10.1 inch screen
- High screen resolution - 1280 by 800 pixels
- 2 cameras
- Case with separate keyboard
- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other gadgets
According to my friend, this the tablet was bought at the beginning of the month in the city of Moscow, but now the owner has a need for money and therefore he sells it. A friend told me that this tablet even has warranty card and receipt from the store with the Euroet stamp, which basically eliminates the possibility of forgery.
Omitting details, he bought this tablet for $150, and he received such a discount after he said that he should connect it to a computer and check everything. Neither one nor the other had time, so they agreed on this.
A little later, my friend brought this tablet to me for testing, but at that time I had things to do, and I still had to go to training. In the end, I was able to start checking the tablet only late in the evening, and this is where the fun began.
How to check the tablet?
When I came home, I tried to turn on the tablet, but it didn’t work out for me the first time. It turned out that the battery of the Galaxy Note N8000 tablet was completely discharged.I connected it via USB to my computer, the charging indicator on the screen lit up and then for the first time I was able to start the device.
Cool - everything works, I opened applications, clicked settings, connected the tablet to WiFi, used the Internet and even played some games installed by the previous owner. During such work, the tablet turned off by itself several times, and the battery level constantly jumped in an incomprehensible way - this alerted me a little. Later, I attributed all the problems to a dead battery, turned off the tablet and left it to charge.
When my friend returned for a tablet, he asked me to throw him a couple of films and imagine my surprise when instead of 64 gigabytes my computer recognized only 2.
The tablet settings displayed and inner memory and another 64 gigs, but for some reason not all of them worked.
I decided that N8000 tablet is missing drivers. There was indeed an unrecognized device labeled "Android" in device manager.
I climbed on Samsung official website, chose the desired device, downloaded and installed the program on your computer Samsung Kies 3 with drivers and immediately ran into a new riddle. The thing is that the device was not recognized by the program at all, at the moment when my Samsung smartphone Galaxy S 2 was perfectly defined.
I'm sitting at a dead end - I don't understand what this tablet needs, what it lacks. In general, I spent about 2-3 more hours with him before I began to think that he might even turn out to be a banal fake.
I visited the legendary portal about mobile devices w3bsit3-dns.com, looking for useful information i tried to update operating system tablet, tried to reflash it and eventually even did ( full reset), but never received any results.
The next day, I called another friend who also works in computer technology and tried to find out if he had encountered a similar problem. It turned out that stacked and sent me in the right direction. He said it was fake.
How to distinguish a real tablet from a fake?
For a while, I searched the Internet for any related information on how to distinguish a real tablet from a fake, in particular, how to identify a fake in the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000.1.
The original tablet the camera is in the center- at a fake it is shifted into a corner.
2.
The real tablet Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 screen resolution 1280x800- the resolution of the fake is much lower. In my case, it was 960 by 600 - in other words, the shortcuts and app icons were just huge.
3.
Counterfeit tablets don't have GPS. Try to turn it on, and everything will immediately fall into place.
4.
Original Samsung smartphones and tablets in bare mode equipped with special applications like Samsung Apps, ChatON, Group Cast, etc. at a time when the functionality of fake versions is significantly curtailed.
5.
IMEI code certainly not an indicator, however, in new and real devices it is always present, and fakes usually have “unknown” instead of it - unknown.
6.
Fake Samsung tablets not recognized in the original Samsung Kies.
A bit of myself and pictures
I’m sure if you dig deeper on the Internet, you can find many more ways by which you can identify a fake, however, in this case, for me, the very fact of the distribution of such tablets has become a kind of discovery.Okay, here my friend bought a tablet directly from his hands on the street, but it turns out that there have been cases when such models were quietly “sold” to customers in fairly reputable stores like Svyaznoy. Where is the world heading?
And yes, by the way, after realizing and accepting the fact that the purchased Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 64Gb tablet turned out to be a fake, I again asked my friend to show the warranty card and receipt from the store.
At first glance, everything is as it should be, the amount matches on all documents, the check attached with a stapler to the warranty card, the seal, as is usually done in stores, is superimposed on the corner - everything is according to the rules. But if you take a closer look, it turns out that for some reason the booklet for the tablet comes from the Samsung Galaxy TAB and not from the Samsung Galaxy Note, and for some reason the same IMEI code is not registered at all.
In fact, this is what the tablet itself looked like.
This is what the main application menu looks like. Pay attention to the huge labels, which are unlikely to match the high resolution I mentioned earlier.
And these are the settings of a fake tablet. The N8000 model, android version and other indicators are the same, but where are the guarantees that these data are generally adequate?
This is how the back cover of the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 64Gb tablet looks like.
And by the way, an acquaintance whom I called in order to find out if he came across such a fake, said that most often the inscription on back cover made not with paint, but simply pasted, so this moment can also be used as a test.
Considering that today it was difficult for me to find at least some information about fakes of this nature on the Internet, I hope that few people fell for the bait of scammers and they will not get away with it.
In general, here are the things. Good luck everyone and be careful.
If you were offered to buy a fake or, God forbid, you fell victim to these scammers and scammers, tell your friends about it. Warn and protect your loved ones!
Law enforcement agencies are not interested in solving such problems, and judging by how actively the discussion is going on, it has already gained enormous momentum.
