Fake MI2's (Where to buy real ones?)

[bkumar555]

Hi,

I Mi2s 32Gb Version bought from this seller. Lowest Price I can find on net. Quick turnaround had it in my hand on fifth day. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...UADcore-1-5Ghz-Android4/826072_906970044.html

As for ibuygou.com I placed a order for 3100 battery with cover July 4th. They did not ship my package till July 22nd.

New security feature with Xiaomi is now there is scratch strip on outside of box which reveals a security code that can be verified at
http://order.xiaomi.com/service/scode

Attaching a pic of the same.

Hello,
Is anybody could publish real Mi-2S informations please? for exemple, with "Quick system info pro" or other..
Thanks!

I attach the screenshot of "Android hardware info" app which seems to be the most accurate and reliable.

Without taking it apart it's hard to tell though.
Besides when it arrives from other side of the world it's probably too late to argue

Everyone wants to save money, but seriously is it worth paying a little more for a safe approved and good customer service for some bucks? On the other side everyone is free to buy where he prefers, maybe discovering new safe sellers
do you feel you're self that much a pioneer?

Woah people are paying over 500 usd for it.....

Becareful with fakes....there have been reports of the battery exploding

If you check the imei and serial number on the Xiami website you dont see anything strange on it? Does this means they can also copy the serial/ Imei numbers?

Spemall.com also ships real ones. Hotmid.com isn't up anymore...

Yeah, shameless plug here, but I'm selling my MI2S here.
Here is the link for my sale post, with pictures: http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/xiaomi-mi2s-16gb-for-sale-cont-usa-only.21672/

Pictures aren't the best quality, but they should prove that the phone is authentic enough. I will definitely try to answer any questions posted in the thread.

Im in Colombia, and bought here http://www.alegrecompra.com/moviles-celulares-chinos/moviles-celulares-xiaomi.html two months ago, is the ORIGINAL one.

I recommend that site is great, but the support and client services is in spanish..

OMG, but I just try with the IMEI checker, and passed it... so how you can check if is a fake or real one?

@KnHack i think it's just the imei of a legit xiaomi phone that they put on fake.

 

[Momus]

The only seller i can personally recommend with 100% sureness is this one. I got my 16gb Mi2 from her no problem at all

Strange, a better M2S is cheaper then a M2. You'd better go to www.ibuygou.com. Better prices, 100% real.

@KnHack i think it's just the imei of a legit xiaomi phone that they put on fake.

so, the only method is open the cellphone??


I dont know what believe

Another pretty reliable way right now is to boot into recovery mode, if it has 3e recovery or none it's fake, if it has MI recovery it is most likely real.
