Hard to really tell nowadays. Chinese fakes can look pretty darn convincing. To make matters worse, Samsung batteries can be made in Korea or China so you can't even go by location.

Best bet is to buy from a "trusted" source like Amazon or Best Buy so you can return it if it's actually fake or something's wrong with it. Don't buy on ebay, or craigslist unless you're willing to get scammed.

Do a Google search for "fake Samsung batteries"... you're bound to find some vids.
