Revision machine is what we usually call parallel imports. What is parallel imports? Parallel imports are not fakes, but refer to mobile phones that enter the mainland market from abroad, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan without normal customs channels. The so-called parallel mobile phones are actually mobile phones that should have been sold to other countries or regions and entered the domestic market after evading tariffs. Simply put, parallel mobile phones are mobile phones that have not declared tax through normal channels. Therefore, the quality of parallel mobile phones is the same as that of licensed ones, and there is no difference in hardware between them. The original products produced by the original factory are only different in sales area and software, and some models are even better than domestic licensed products because they are sold in different countries. Coupled with the huge difference in sales prices, many people like to choose parallel mobile phones.
First, the words written in front:
The main purpose of parallel mobile phones is to avoid customs duties, or the products are improperly modified and cannot enter the customs through normal channels. Therefore, in addition to the original goods, parallel imports may also be modified defective products, and the products are basically not guaranteed by domestic manufacturers, so buying parallel imports is risky.
Due to the use of abnormal purchase channels, parallel mobile phones certainly cannot enjoy the same after-sales service as licensed mobile phones, and it is impossible for the original factory to bear the responsibility for product quality when the sellers close down. Parallel sellers may promise warranty, but there are still risks. If it is a reputable business, it is still relatively safe; If you encounter unscrupulous vendors and close the door today and tomorrow, the warranty of parallel mobile phones will only be lost. However, parallel imports have a great advantage that they are cheap, and many models are not available in the domestic licensed market. Especially when the new machine is just listed, the licensed price is always high, so friends who like early adopters will choose parallel mobile phones with relatively high cost performance. This has also caused a unique phenomenon in the parallel market: the listing of new machines attracts consumers to buy at a great price difference; When the sales volume rose to a certain extent, second-hand goods immediately began to flood, and the parallel market gradually appeared refurbished goods, and the quality of mobile phones became worse and worse. Gao repair rate made dealers lose patience gradually, and would gradually give up operating this product, so this product gradually withdrew from the market with the proliferation of refurbished machines. Therefore, identifying this link is particularly important for choosing parallel imports. At present, the popular mobile phones on the market are mainly Hong Kong version, European version of parallel imports, Asia-Pacific parallel imports and self-assembled "compatible mobile phones". Among them, the Hong Kong version machine is more common in the market, and the price is much cheaper than the licensed one. However, because it is released in Hong Kong, it is necessary to add a Chinese patch to the traditional Chinese interface and change it to a simplified Chinese version. This kind of mobile phone is not much different from the licensed one in appearance, but because the patch takes up a part of memory space, it has a sense of delay in use, which will seriously cause a crash. Some parallel keyboards in the Asia-Pacific region are carved with strokes, and many of them are carved later. However, the keyboard strokes of the European version of parallel imports are all carved later, or they are not original keyboards at all. Moreover, Oushui mobile phone must be refreshed before it goes on the market, and a Chinese system must be added.
Comparatively speaking, many people may be inclined to buy Hong Kong banks; But the box reminds you that the purchase of Hong Kong banks must have a Hong Kong machine to issue invoices, and some brands can enjoy warranty service in customer service.
Second, special attention: the difference between English revision machine and refurbished machine.
English revision machine, or European version machine, was originally sold to Europe and America and smuggled into the mainland. By upgrading the mobile phone software, it supports simplified Chinese. Due to unpaid customs duties, the price is often much lower than that of mobile phones. Refurbishment means that people who deal in second-hand mobile phones "reinvent" the acquired second-hand mobile phones by replacing batteries and renovating their appearance, and then treat them as new machines to deceive consumers. Some refurbished machines even change the motherboard. Of course, this kind of machine has no quality guarantee. Therefore, consumers should pay special attention to and carefully identify such mobile phones to prevent them from buying shoddy refurbished machines. This kind of mobile phone has no purchase value, followed by tax evasion. The key is that the quality is not guaranteed, which is the most lethal to buyers. So how do we identify whether the mobile phone we bought is a refurbished machine? It's actually quite simple. We only need to pay attention to the following points when buying:
1, carefully check whether there are any marks on the screen, data cables, earphone holes, speaker holes and tape hanging holes are dusty.
2. Look carefully at whether there are dial marks at the battery lock of the fuselage, whether there are rotation marks at the rotating shaft of the upper and lower covers, and whether there are indentations at the two protrusions of the upper cover.
3. Carefully check whether there are records in WAP, voice function and call record information function.
4, the shell looks at the contrast (contrast proves that a good machine, brightness, uniformity, tone, granularity, and most importantly, feel! )
5, smell the smell, the new machine has a faint sandalwood smell, different from the general detergent and perfume. There must be no sticky wax and oil on the fuselage (if there is, it has been beautified by JS).
6. Carefully check whether the contact point between the SIM card and the battery of the fuselage has wear marks (distinguish other contact points).
7. Check whether the joint gap of the shell is even, whether it is below 1MM, whether there are pry marks, and whether there are pry marks at the two sealing points under the screen in the upper cover.
8. Use the new machine to compare the elasticity of the buttons and the brightness of the internal and external display screens.
9. Look carefully at whether the fixed pins of the fuselage are rotary printing, painting and inking (magnifying glass can be used), and whether there are pry marks on the trademark.
Third, beware of posing as a new machine-14 cat
Charging machine refers to some mobile phone dealers who buy mobile phones that look new after recycling, or mobile phones sent by telecom operators in Hong Kong or other countries through the network, and then smuggle them in for sale. This kind of mobile phone is almost the same as the new one, with no damage or scratches, but it is actually a used mobile phone.
In foreign countries, network operators have such a service that they can own this mobile phone as long as they open the number in the network, sign the use agreement, pay a certain phone bill every month and pay enough fees for two years. The probation period is generally fourteen days. If you feel dissatisfied, you can cancel the agreement and return the mobile phone to the network operator. These returned mobile phones may be sold by some illegal vendors as new machines, which is what we call 14 secret machines. Although each of these mobile phones may have no quality problems, they are second-hand goods used by others after all. Reasonable, js has no reason to sell them to consumers as new ones, so it is necessary to remind buyers to identify them carefully. Generally speaking, there are the following identification technologies:
1, whether the package is worn;
2. Whether the charging port and battery of the mobile phone are scratched, and whether the earphones and related accessories are unpacked;
3. Enter the mobile phone interface to check whether there are call records, address book records and online records.
Most of these mobile phones will be printed with the name of the operator. When you see a mobile phone with operator names such as T-Mobile and TIM, you should check it carefully to see if it is 14.
Fourth, the trigger and the cloning machine are not easily overlooked.
The trigger is also called an assembler. The concept of trigger is rather vague. Generally speaking, mobile phones that are not original, repaired or assembled with useful parts removed from scrapped machines are collectively called triggers. The trigger is the most harmful and there is a danger of explosion! Cloning machine copies a series of serial numbers of authorized products to another machine, and js sells them as authorized products. These machines may be water changers, triggers or refurbished machines. At present, the cloning technology is almost the same as the real one, and some even the workers in the maintenance point can hardly tell the difference between the real and the fake. Although some cloned machines have license serial numbers, customer service does not provide warranty.
Tips for identifying this machine:
1, enter the serial number in official website when buying parallel imports, because parallel imports are not connected to the internet, so there is definitely no warranty. If the parallel goods you bought show insurability on the Internet, it is probably a cloning machine.
2. The identification method of the trigger can learn from the identification method of the refurbished machine. Generally speaking, the handle and the buyer's intuition are very important.
Fifth, finally, the box wants to talk about the identification skills of accessories.
battery
The difference between the original battery and the assembled battery can be several hundred, so the profit has prompted many js to counterfeit the original battery with the assembled battery and high imitation battery. Non-original batteries are not only very different in price and standby time from original batteries, but also do some damage to the machine. Therefore, it is very important to learn to recognize batteries.
1, look at the feel: the original ones are generally slightly frosted, which feels good and matches the whole machine.
2, look at the label: for example, Nokia's pattern is small and compact, and the laser effect is very good. Samsung's label trash can is a circle with dots, and the diagonal line in the middle of S/N is composed of dots. Dopod's machines are divided into Samsung and Sanyo, and so on. 3, look at the battery copper: it's really bright, and there are scratches when the phone is installed. The fake color is darker, but this high imitation copper piece is also very real. 4. Look at the production date and battery number: the battery number produced by each manufacturer is different every year, and the corresponding year and number can be found on official website.
5, look at the smoothness of the battery layout: touch it with your fingers, generally there will be no unevenness, but it is smooth and flat. False is the opposite.
6. Some battery information can be directly queried through mobile phone information. For example, Samsung d608 can query the battery information in *#8999*8378#, and the content quantity displayed by the original power and the group power is different.
charger
European plate original chargers are generally three-phase, with a slight frosting feeling and very clear font description.
earphone
The recognition of headphones is intuitive and can be distinguished by the naked eye. Moreover, the feel of the original ear and the group ear is very different, so you can intuitively feel the difference by listening to the sound quality of mp3.
Conclusion: Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and parallel mobile phones are a double-edged sword. Of course, as long as you have a good identification, you may have both. Such parallel imports make the most sense to buy. Why not spend less money to buy a mobile phone with the same quality or even better than the licensed one? When you need to buy parallel imports, check the relevant information of the intended mobile phone online and see the relevant identification skills, so that you will be at ease when purchasing the machine. Finally, what the box wants to say is that the experience is very important. When you have time, think more about parallel mobile phones, which may bring unexpected surprises to the purchase.
Several identification methods of Nokia mobile phone
Hong kong version: the appearance is exactly the same as that of the Asia-Pacific version. The software languages include English, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) and Simplified Chinese, one less Malay than the Asia-Pacific version. The warranty information of imei number can be found in official website, China, Nokia, with the word hk on the package and the instruction manual in traditional Chinese and English. *#0000# The easiest way is to ask JS to give you the IMEI number of your mobile phone. You can go to Nokia official website to check whether it is under warranty. Official website is:/Warranty or call. As long as the warranty of Hong Kong goods can be verified by 400800 123, the keyboard in Taiwan Province Province has no strokes, with phonetic notation in Taiwan Province Province and built-in simplified Chinese display. Input can only be traditional phonetic notation, and the last line *#0000# is R. If the software is upgraded to Hong Kong Bank software, Chinese can be simplified, but R remains unchanged.
Regular Hong Kong machines should have warranty cards and invoices. It will clearly show the store where the machine was purchased and the purchase time. Because the machine-printed publications in Hong Kong are not mainland invoices as we understand them, they generally do not have the stamp of the Hong Kong Government Inland Revenue Department, which is actually similar to the receipts of supermarkets in China. Therefore, it is very easy to fake and deceive consumers. Generally, the price of Hong Kong airlines with tickets will not be lower than domestic licensed products, nor will it be higher than domestic licensed products. In terms of policy, we enjoy nationwide joint guarantee, I mean in terms of policy. As for whether all places can be jointly insured, it depends on the situation of each place. Customer service is set up by the manufacturer with the help of local agents. You don't buy machines from local agents, and you want them to pay the bill if something goes wrong, which is what no one wants to do.
1-* # 06 # Check the serial number: (serial number), which is the original IMEI code.
2-* # 0000 # Check the version and look at the letters in the last line. At present, we know that V is from Vietnam, S is from Singapore or Malaysia, and Q is from Hong Kong.
The 3-* # 92702689 # query result will appear.

3, SMS query
Find a sticker with three lines on your mobile phone. The first line is the license number.
The second line is the equipment model. Are overseas Chinese afraid of embarrassment? Are you scared? lt； /P & gt；
Then enter * # 06 # to view IMEI. In standby mode.
The first 6 digits (TAC) of IMEI are "model approval codes", which generally represent models. The next two digits (FAC) are the "assembly number", which generally represents the place of origin. The next 6 digits (SNR) are the "serial number", which generally represents the production serial number. The last 1 bit (SP) is usually "0", which is the check code.
Write down the serial number when you find it.
Then enter RW # license plate number # scrambling code # mobile phone serial number on the mobile phone and send it to 9500 to check the authenticity of the mobile phone. (No inquiry fee)
RW is a fixed code, regardless of case. "#" is a separator and can be replaced by a space.
-in the license number can be replaced by "a" (regardless of case).
For example, 02-0 10-99463 1 can be written as: 02A0 10A9463 1.
