In our previous articles, Mytour.vn provided guidance on authenticating Samsung devices through the post 'How to Authenticate Samsung Phones.' However, with the introduction of new devices like the Samsung S7 Edge, the authentication process differs significantly, especially with numerous imported devices meeting the demand of domestic users.
Guide to authenticate Samsung S7 Edge from the official store
The process of authenticating Samsung S7 Edge involves the following steps:
Step 1: Authenticate Samsung S7 Edge based on appearance and color.
When holding the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, users should pay attention to the box factor. Samsung always maintains a packaging standard that imitations find hard to match. Check the box and ensure that the details on it are clearly printed.
Imitation or assembled Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge models will have the front cover made of plastic, making it easy for users to compare and distinguish between the real and fake with a simple touch.
Step 2: Check and verify the authenticity of Samsung S7 Edge through the operating system check
Authentic Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge models will use the latest operating system version with a distinctive wallpaper and several clearly defined default software.
Ensure the legitimate Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge experience by following these steps and verifying the key aspects of the device.
Counterfeit devices often run older software versions, leading to performance degradation over time, frequent lagging, and a dulling screen color after prolonged use.
Step 3: Checking the internal storage is the clearest way to verify the authenticity of Samsung S7 Edge
When checking the internal storage in the settings, the system will display a capacity of up to 64 GB or 128 GB for genuine devices. However, in reality, imitation S7s only have a 16 GB capacity. This is a crucial point that helps users clearly differentiate between counterfeit and genuine devices, as the standard memory on authentic Galaxy S7 models is mostly 32 GB.
Step 4: Check in Download Mode to verify if it's a genuine or fake Samsung S7 Edge.
Using this method, you can check the device by pressing the combination of Power + Home + Volume Down until a warning message with an exclamation mark appears. Then, press the Volume Up button to enter Download Mode. At this point, the device will display information about genuine products. Counterfeit devices cannot enter Download Mode using this key combination, providing a quick way to identify genuine from fake.
