Apparently, even the great Xiaomi is not spared from being counterfeited.
There are a lot of fake Xiaomi phones in the market as it is fueled by the humongous demand paired with very few supply (Xiaomi only sell through flash sales).
Besides from raiding stores with authorities, Xiaomi has developed an application (still in beta phase) to help customers identify whether the phone is original or fake.
It is in Chinese language though but I've ran through Google Translate app, it's not perfect but you'll get the gist of it :)

All in all,I'd give it a 85% score, very useful but would be better if it's in English too as Mi3 phones are sold to other countries besides China too.
Then again, I can't really determine the validity of the app as I do not have a fake Xiaomi to verify.
Until then, it's better to have something than nothing.

ReplyDeleteVery cool post. But you can't store everything on your mobile device, especially if it's something important and has to be private. I can suggest secure data room from my own experience.
