Fake Checker

[sheppy1]

Hi All

Should be in possession of my new G3 this week, only issue is the site I bought it from doesn't have the best reviews and I'm worried the phone COULD be a fake.

Is there any way to be 100% certain if it's fake or not when it comes?

Thanks

When I saw a fake Note 3 at work the launcher and menus were completely off so check them. Also, on the fake Note 3, when we removed and put back the battery it reset everything to the point where the customer had to sign back in to Google and set the time. Check that too

Ahhh couple of easy ones there eh! Right will do is there no way to check in the advanced settings? Like something that wouldn't match with what a real one has or can the serial number be checked on LGs site?

Found an IMEI checking site which I guess I could use to check the IMEI number on the box and phone when it comes couldn't I...Unless they are somehow able to fake them and have them show as a phone they are not...which I'm not sure is even possible

Thanks

Oh and apparently I'd be able to use CPUz to verify it too...if possible could someone post a screenshot of their genuine phone with CPUz results so I can compare please?

Thanks
