How to spot a fake s5

Casshern88

So as the title suggests I need advice how to spot a fake s5.

I'm buing a s5 from adverts later and I really don't want to get stung like I've heard a lot of people have.

Can some one post screenshot of genuine s5, cpu z app results. Is cpu-z foolproof for spotting fakes or is there better apps?

Seller said he can show me receipt but obviously I'm still skeptical until I get some hands on time.

First sign of a cheap copy is a screen which appears greyish turned off. Amoled screens should look black with a blue tint when tiltled in the light.

Check the battery cover to make sure it has a waterproof seal. Alot of the cheap fakes don't have this.

If it comes with 2 batteries, very common with clones.

There is some very good clones which have decent screens, good processors etc so it might not be obvious. Best bet is to check some apps. Most fakes are preloaded with modified versions of antutu and cpu z to give false information. If you see any already installed, remove them and download from play store. If it's a fake you will see almost certaintly see mediatek somewhere in cpu-z. Antutu result should be mid 40,000.
