Hello everyone, Lin Fei to answer the above questions, what is the relationship between authentic and parallel imports, what is the difference between authentic and parallel imports, many people do not know, now let's take a look!

Now there are more and more channels to buy mobile phones. Many friends can find that they can buy mobile phones not only in shopping malls, but also on the Internet. The newly released mobile phone can also be purchased by someone else. So friends who have no experience in buying mobile phones have a lot of questions, because now there are parallel imports and authentic products in the mobile phone market, and many friends do not understand the difference between parallel imports and authentic products. To answer this question, Bian Shaw will next introduce how to distinguish between parallel imports and authentic mobile phones.

How to distinguish between parallel imports and authentic mobile phones

What's the difference between parallel imports and authentic goods? To put it simply, the quality of parallel mobile phones is the same as that of authentic phones, and there is no difference in hardware between the two. But parallel mobile phones are those that do not declare and pay taxes through normal channels. Therefore, after-sales service providers do not get good protection.

Why is there no warranty? In fact, there is no warranty, parallel imports and authentic goods, will provide an one-year warranty. Considering the cost, no one will get maintenance abroad, so parallel merchants do not provide warranty service at all, but if you buy goods in Huaqiang North Mall, you can enjoy an one-year warranty.

It is precisely because parallel imports themselves are caused by cross-selling between channels, after the goods are sold, the sellers are no longer responsible for the goods, resulting in many profiteers starting to sell parallel imports as authentic goods; renovating, dismantling and assembling parallel imports, and treating old and inferior goods as genuine goods will seriously infringe upon the rights and interests of consumers, which is absolutely intolerable.

There are generally five ways to distinguish between authentic and parallel imports (it is recommended to check the IMEI code):

1. Press * # 0pm to make a note of the serial number displayed on the phone.

No one points to the serial number of the outer package, then press * 2767 "3855", then shut down and restart and re-enter * # 0 "to see if the serial number has changed. If there is any change, it is proved to be parallel imports or assembly machine.

two. Network access license

Generally speaking, parallel-imported mobile phones do not have a network card. Not only is it authentic, but each serial number uniquely corresponds to a mobile phone. You can check it online, or you can get the nearest mobile phone testing center to check the authenticity of mobile phones for users free of charge.

Third, mobile phone battery

As authentic phones sold in mainland China, the label on the battery will show simplified Chinese, while parallel batteries mostly show English due to different sales channels.

four. Packing box

Generally speaking, no matter it is imported or exported, the box will be affixed with a label with product model, date of production, origin, IMEI code and bar code. In addition to the instructions and other accessories, there will be three packets of mobile phone vouchers in the box, which is definitely not available for parallel-imported mobile phones.

5. Check IMEI code

IMEI (International Mobile equipment Identification number) is the abbreviation of international mobile device identification number. It is a 15-digit "electronic serial number", corresponding to each mobile phone one by one, and is the only one in the world. This test method is also the most accurate. Xiao on the edge of Huaqiang North Mall has tried everything. To check the IMEI code of your phone, type * # 0codes first. If the IMEI code displayed on the phone is the same as that of the genuine phone, if it is inconsistent, or becomes a string of garbled codes, or the instructions are not carried out, it proves that the phone is a modified or refurbished machine. Authentic mobile phone IMEI numbers that are legally sold in China can be queried on the China Mobile Communications Industry Network. The battery labels of parallel cargo planes are printed in full Chinese, while those of parallel cargo planes in Europe are printed in English.

I believe that after reading the above contents of Bian Xiao, friends who have doubts about how to distinguish between parallel imports and authentic mobile phones should know which method to choose to distinguish. In fact, it is precisely because the price of parallel mobile phones is cheaper than the authentic ones that consumers will patronize. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous businessmen
