It is becoming better because you guys are spotting whatever is wrong with it and telling them

you can probably swap the good parts from the fake s22 to the fake s23

3:44 that square is probably a cutout from the plastic wrap people often forget to remove lol

One small correction regarding the specs. The phone can't have an adreno GPU as that's exclusive to snapdragon chipsets. On a chipset be it snapdragon or mediatek the GPU is integrated so they can't mix them. This particular mediatek chipset has a Mali-400 MP2 GPU.

The biggest giveaway with the box is the fact that the real S23 box has more of a shine to it. the fake box is not reflective at all

The funny thing is that the seal stickers aren't fake, they come in the box with the original phone, this whole box was probably original with a few changes in it's contents

Thanks for reviewing this PRG! If I have ever decided to go for one of these phones, I’d know how to figure out how it is fake.

This guy is helping me spot fake phones lol. It’s sad how many old people I see at amusement parks that have clearly fake (like, bright blue camera lens, super off colors etc) phones. It’s genuinely surprising yet sad

The fact that the fake camera is alwyas blue, if they literally just scribbled on the glass with a black sharpie it'd make it so much more realistic on the fake cameras

Editor: how many sound effects do you want to use? Phone repair guru: yes

“What are you wearing rn?” That dealer is mad

7:22 You said one of them is the real S23 ultra, but there are the 2 fake phones you showed earlier.

Phones have an soc(system on chip) meaning the processor gpu network chip and sometimes even ram is bundled into a single chip so its kinda impossible for a mediatek chip to have an adreno gpu

That is messed up. No wonder I've been seeing a lot of s23 ultras in Facebook marketplace for a good price. I was thinking about buying one off there but had a weird feeling this time around.

5:04 It can't have Adreno 650 in it. The Adreno brand belongs to Qualcomm and it is only used in Snapdragon SoCs. 650 is released in 2020 and its pretty powerful GPU. Other manifacturers like Samsung (Exynos) MTK or Huawei uses ARMs Mali GPUs.

I love how you started constantly chuckling from the moment the older fake S-Pen broke on camera XD

Can you do a video on using it as your daily driver?

You should combine both s22 and s23 ultra better parts to create ultimate fake phone 😂

The classic Vsause dialogue was nice tho 😂😂

I got my S23 Ultra at a huge discount and I can confirm this is exactly how a real S23 Ultra is.

I like the crab dancing

4:22 "What are you wearing rn??" 😂

So the best way to determine if your phone is fake or not is to check out the cameras. I've gone through my Note 20 Ultra's camera modes while covering each camera until the screen is black and it turns out to be genuine. Also, the speed and the flow of the screen would immediately tell you if it's genuine or not.

Why didn't they call it Smasnug 😂

Don't Apple or Samsung ever sue the counterfeiters? You'd think these fakes wouldn't even be able to ship these phones and get them through customs

I had that happened once I was talking to a Chinese manufacturer that makes knock-off goods and bought some knockoff shoes and when they had me buy the shoes they created a listing on AliExpress add random boots that were non-branded just so it wouldn't tip off the site or the company who makes the original shoes that they were selling knockoff shoes.

Wait, did the seal itself say do not accept if seal is broken? so if the seals are broken that message isn't there? HOW WOULD I KNOW?

You know a phone is bussin When Mediatek 🤝 Qualcomm to have their CPU & GPU tech on a SoC.

The square on top of the real S23 Ultra is just the cutout on the plastic film you are supposed to remove

Lol at the WhatsApp convo...what are you wearing rn? 😂😂😂

Me:cool bag Guru:fake ugly bag Me:Damm what an ugly fake bag 😅😅

Bruh the easy button was right there and you forgot to press it at 8:25

Appreciate your hard work on this videos. Keep going!

Bro became vsauce

3:07 just from this shot right here I can tell it's fake. I have a legit S22U and unless they moved the s-pen slot further towards the back of the phone then this is a pretty big flaw. The s-pen slot (atleast on my S22U) should be centered in between the front and back of the phone, not 1mm from the back of the phone like it is in this shot.

Its soo scary that it almost looks like the real thing, scammer could scam an old person and sell this fake phone and say that its the real thing and they'll believe it.

I recently brought a clone of an apple watch and outside it's scaringly similar including a legit amoled display. On the inside was another story of course. I think factories in China started to resell whatever components didn't pass QA for their main brand, I think the cheapest parts are easy to smuggle (boxes, screen, device shell and frames), so I bet that generate an IMEI, or repurpose an IMEI from a QA discarded device is probably what's in play here. Heck, I won't be surprised if they fake the IMEI on both stickers and software and sell a bunch of 1000s fake Samsungs with the same but legit IMEI

The fact you can purchase these for like £90 just shows how cheap it is to actually make a phone and the reviews on these phones are really good

1:35 Deez nuts!? Ha! Goteeem

Wait. No comment here?

i feel like the s22 and s23 ultras are as easy as they are to mimic because of the sheer size and weight of the thing, i tun a rigid case with my s22 ultra and my poor pockets are being worn out haha

"What ru wearing" killed me. 😂

Those companies put more budget in the packaging than in the phone

The square shape on the top on the real one is part of the packaging film. Just peel it off.

I work for the brand as a cellular rep and I love spotting the differences 😅

Bro asked what are you wearing on what’s up💀💀💀

"That's equivalent to 76 deez nuts" 🤣🤣 1:52

Fun fact : that fake looks still way better than the ugly looking 14 pro you bring in the middle of video😂

Love your content man ❤ Keep it going 🔥

"What are you wearing rn". Lol. Dude thought you were a chick

6:58 Pause video and click this, Pro covered everything with the duck, But is face...

9:05 hardsoldered? it's 2 wires, if you think thats not repair friendly...

I'm becoming paranoid thinking my phone is fake even when I bought it at the brand store😭

The fact theres a battery like a 2010s phone and back plate is the deadest of all giveaways

There's no square shape on the top of the real one. You missed the plastic peel on top. 😊

It shouldn't be that hard. When I went to buy mine, I looked around to see if I could get a better price without going through my carrier. The S23 Ultra was all over ebay for $100 - $125. Haha, as soon as I saw that, I just went to my carrier and bought from them. It made me realize that there is no way I would know the difference bwteeen a fake and the real thing.

The best KZfaqr that makes videos of fixing phones

For the real S23 Ultra when you mentioned on the top that it has the square shape and the fake one doesn't it's not necessarily true. The real one doesn't have the square shaped either. It only is showing that because you didn't pull off the protective film that comes surrounded on the edges of the real phone.

Just to let you know, that "square" on the top of the official one is just were you havnt taken off your little piece of protective film on the top of your phone lol

0:23 oh look, a Smasnug back

How A mediaetch Cpu paired with a Qualcomm Adreno Gpu it doesnt make any sense. The gpu if the stat is correct its pretty capable.

Bro was using "into the galaxy" ring tone and the intro💀

Year 2030: fake s30 ultra is better than original one

Mediatek SOC, with Qualcomm GPU. Yep. Believable! (FYI, Mediatek's lowend SOC's tend to use PowerVR's offerings, which are actually pretty good tbh.)

You should make more long videos, i Just love it. It was fun and i enjoyed.

0:13 “What are you wearing rn?” Bro this is the best humour-technology channel ever.

Isn't the square on top just a peel?

One day they will be identical and very rare not to use a fake 😂😂😂

4:55 This guy runs a KZfaq channel and repairs phones for a living and doesn't know that all phone SOC's have integrated GPU's. He says that it's using a garbage mediatek process and a pretty good and recent Qualcomm GPU which is impossible. The phone is obviously listing a fake GPU and is definitely using the integrated graphics on that mediatek chip.

This dude is riding tim cooks meat hard breh 9:58

The problem is that I wonder how many people will get scammed.

Yo it’s DecoRepairGuru I changed up my channel a bit I still love tech but I’m doing somthing I love even more

install custom rom on it and show what happens

I love how 105 seconds in the video I get an ad for the s23 ultra but in another language

Ninja Package Opener Guru right there in the intro

Your vids are the best they never disappoint ❤

Aside from the bad camera and speaker I genuinely think that this fake is actually pretty good Keep up the good work 👏 👍

Where did you buy this?

if i got a fake phone what do i do with it assuming they dont accept refunds/returns because you've opened the box already

Will you continue the series where you convert all your devices into USB-C ? It’s a really cool series

That is amazing that somebody would tool up an entire manufacturing process to make a fake phone with dated components that aren't even the same dimensions as the real phone. Its probably illegal, and you would have to trick somebody to get a decent price for it. I would assume that phone has software that can steal your data or lead to that happening

Gotta admit it is impressive.

Nah, the framework's just spoofing the phone's actual specs. The MT6580 is a quad-core, and I doubt Qualcomm would licence their Adreno GPU cores to anyone else either. I can PM you on how to retrieve the phone's firmware if you want. ;)

This is absolutely terrifying to me. I got scammed twice on ebay before finally getting my desired purchase. Thank goodness for ebay buyer protection. If not for them, I would have lost out on $2400. I'm glad it's over and I got my REAL Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 12/512 phantom black. Thank you for the service you do. Many scammers out there bro. Many.

the fake s22 ultra's camera is actually insane holy

Does the fake phone rattle? The real ones have the OIS camera that rattles until you go into the camera app, then the camera pawers up as does the OIS so stops rattling. I am wondering if the fake one even has OIS, if it doesn't then it shouldn't rattle and therefore a quick shake will let you know if its fake.

6:25 Was the funniest moment ive ever seen 😂😂😂

Fun fact. The real Samsung S23 Ultra has a little stick that goes around the phone to some what protect it from scratches and dings.

bro the intro sound, i thought my mom's phone was ringing💀😂

Atleast it has an SD card slot.

I used to work as a samsung retail vendor, and saw TWO of the fake s22 ultras. One of them was just a guy who's sister bought it for him and he wanted it set up, and he opted not to tell her. The other was a couple of scammers trying to "trade it in" thinking they'd get cash in a best buy, even if we didn't catch it. We reported it and it turned out they've done this scam in a few stores before, I'm guessing they'd spend whatever credit they got on something they could sell after.

When are you going to do one of those videos where you revive a phone that's nearly been destroyed by river or something again. Those are awesome.

Wow it looks exactly the same as the real one 😮

Almost all fake phones have a blue sharingan😂

I thought my alarm was going off in the beginning 💀

04:34 "so if we press CPU" 04:38 *actually open CPU*

Not the Kawhi Leonard laugh 😂😂😂

"What are you doing, Step Phone??~"

Imagine a fake MacBook
