APP or application to know if my cell phone is original, replica, clone

There are several ways to detect a clone cell. Even apps to know if it is original or not.

These days, replica cell phones are very well made externally, so much so that it is difficult to recognize them, even for someone good with technology.

In addition, the information of the internal components of a fake cell phone is often altered. Before you could find out this information with apps like Aida 64 and compare it with the official specifications of the equipment in question and thus know if it is original or not. Now even that information is manipulated by the manufacturers of replicas and these types of apps are no longer helpful.

APP to know if my cell phone is original

Antutu Benchmark (APK)

But there is an app that currently cannot be fooled by replica cell phones. It’s about Antutu Benchmark.

Basically this is a performance app. That is, it puts the components of the cell phone to work at maximum capacity and offers a numerical result.

The idea is to compare this value with the one obtained by the original equipment. If it is absurdly minor, we will be facing a replica.

For example, in the image above you can see the ridiculous figure that the replica of a Samsung Galaxy S8 (left) gets compared to the original S8 cell phone. The replica performs 6+ times lower than the original model.

You probably don’t have the original cell phone on hand to make this comparison. But you can look up the score on the Internet at kimovil.com. Or you can Google something like “Galaxy S8 Antutu Benchmark.”

Antutu Officer (APK)

This is another application from the same creators of Antutu Benchmark, but friendlier for most users. In this case, the app is responsible for itself to indicate if the cell phone is original or replica.

You have to install the application on the cell phone that is being evaluated, open it and scan with it the QR code that will appear on the page y.antutu.com (You have to open this page on another device to scan the QR code with the cell phone being evaluated). If a green circle appears with the word Good, it is quite likely that you are dealing with an authentic or original cell phone.

Conclution
Installing this type of application is an effective method to detect replica cell phones, clones or forgeries. Before buying, the alternative would be to take the installable APK of one of these applications on another cell phone and pass it to the device to be evaluated. Of course, this would only be possible if the seller consents. If not, it would be necessary to thoroughly investigate the physical or external differences between the replica and the original of a specific model, information that can be searched on the web in the form of videos.
