Not sure if this S25 Ultra is fake or real?

[TatersGirl]

I don't know if this phone is a fake model or what but I can't find this phone no where at all..... All it says is S25 Ultra 512gb. There is no stylist or anything so what is this phone????

At least the one from Amazon does not profess to be a Samsung (even though the image shows the Samsung wallpape. A sharp eye will tell you the manufacturer and also that is sn X25 model, not an S25. Defintely presented to confuse and scam, while they can hide behind a "truthful" description.

Even the Temu ones do not claim to be Samsung - only that it's an S25.

Didn't anyone notice the status bar icons being straight out of Android 14? Even if I never saw a Samsung, I'd still know that was fake.

I noticed that too!

The icons are all wrong and in the wrong positions.

Wrong and oversized bezels, wrong front facing camera placement and size, S25U doesnt have a camera plateau and has 5 rear sensors, wrong corner curvature, writing on the back, I actually dont know how you could mistake this for an S25 Ultra if youve ever seen a picture of a real one before.

That's definitely not a real Samsung S25U. There are tons of fake Samsung products flooding the marketplaces. The prices of these devices are attractive to people who don't want to pay full Samsung prices. Plus, these devices can be unsafe to use, due to battery degradation and other safety-related issues. These phones are made to look like the real ones, but the internal components are most likely cheap chipsets on generic SoCs. Samsung does sell recertified devices that cost less than new ones, and they are backed by the Samsung manufacturer's warranty. If possible, return the device to the seller or file a complaint with the marketplace.

It looks like a Realme 75 series, sold in Pakistan.
