Avoiding Fake Phones in Kenya
November 2, 2023 GeneralBuying a new phone can be an exciting and rewarding experience. You get to enjoy the latest features, performance, and design of your chosen device. However, buying a new phone can also be a risky and frustrating experience if you end up with a fake phone. Fake phones are phones that look like the original ones, but have inferior quality, functionality, and security. They are often sold at lower prices than the genuine ones, but they can also cause you a lot of problems and losses.
Fake phones are a common problem in Kenya, where many people fall victim to unscrupulous dealers who sell them counterfeit or refurbished phones. These dealers often take advantage of the high demand and low supply of popular phone models, as well as the lack of awareness and regulation in the market. Some of the signs that you may have bought a fake phone include:
- The phone has a different or misspelled brand name or logo.
- The phone has a different or mismatched IMEI number (you can check this by dialing *#06# on your phone).
- The phone has poor battery life, camera quality, or performance.
- The phone has no warranty or support from the manufacturer or the dealer.
- The phone has pre-installed malware or spyware that can compromise your privacy and security.
