On the original Infinix Hot 4, the charging port is located at the bottom left, with the mouthpiece directly beside its right side. As for the fake, only the mouthpiece is located at the bottom left side of the phone.
The earpiece of the original phone is put at top left side of the phone, forming a sort of opposite end to the charging port; and also the earpiece port is the only opening at the top of the phone. However the manufacturer of the fake Infinix Hot 4 decided to double the opening at the top of the phone, putting both the earpiece port and charging port side by side.
Spotting A Fake Infinix Hot 4 With The Position of The Front Camera
The position of the front camera is another easy to spot a fake Infinix Hot 4. On the original copy, the front camera of the phone is located at the left side of the front speaker of the phone; the fake has its front camera at the right side of the front speaker of the phone.
Spotting Fake Infinix Hot 4 With Battery Icon While Charging Offline
When you put the original phone offline and plug in its charger, the battery icon shows a ripple-like green content, to tell that the battery is charging. In the case of the fake Infinix Hot 4, the battery icon shows a green content moving up and down, repeatedly, to indicate that it is charging.
Spotting A Fake Infinix Hot 4 With The Position of The SIM Slots
Aside the neat buy cheap viagra from india design for the slots (especially the MicroSD slot), SIM1 and SIM 2 slots on the original Infinix Hot 4 are only indicated by icons. The fake manufacturer engraved the name “SIM 1”, “SIM 2” on the phone’s body.
Spotting A Fake Infinix Hot 4 With the UI
The XOS Chameleon is the pre-installed UI on Infinix phones, including the Hot 4, and when the screen of the phone is locked, the time and date are aligned to the bottom left of the screen, with random inspirational quotes displayed below it. As for the fake Infinix Hot 4, the time and date are aligned to the center of the screen and no quote below.
Still on the UI, on the original Hot 4, there are two icons below the inspirational quotes — the Call icon, towards the bottom left and the Camera icon, towards the bottom right.
When you look at the lock screen of the fake Infinix Hot 4, there are three icons at the bottom of the screen. The Unlock Key icon, with EMERGENCY CALL text on it, at the center, along with the Camera and Call icons located at the corners.
Another way to spot the fake Infinix Hot 4 with the UI is checking the notification bar. On the original, the brightness slider is at bottom of all the icons, but in the fake the slider is above the icons.
When you also launch the camera of the original Infinix Hot 4, there are three icons, the gallery, the picture capture and the video capture icons. Only the picture capture icon is on the fake.
The most obvious UI difference is the version of the Android OS on the original and the fake phone. The original Infinix Hot 4 comes, out-of-the-box, with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but curiously the fake gets Android 5.0 Lollipop.
If you really want to avoid buying a fake Infinix Hot 4 phone, my advice to you is that you should only buy from accredited partners and stores.
