Hello, a friend of mine has bought me an apparently real HTC One from russia. As he said, it was about 100€ cheaper because of taxes and stuff like that.
When I got that device, it was all okay. It looked very legit, until I have played some games without and tried out some benchmarks.
The phone I had before was HTC One S, which seemed much faster to me. I have ran some benchmarks and noticed it is getting much less scores than a HTC One is supposed to be.
Here you can see the result of Antutu Benchmark on the device:

Also, take a look at this weird "Brand: htc_hk_asia". It doesn't look very legit:

Here is a screenshot of CPU-Z System Info, which finally showed me that something is not right... :/

When I asked my friend, he told me that it's just a software problem... which I can not believe.
I was already convinced that it is a fake, but I wanted to make sure.. is it one? What can I do?
I appreciate any help, thank you in advance.
It does look very strange. Here is a screenshot of mine. You don't seem to have much internal storage!
If you phone was new and stock you should not have root access (I rooted mine on day 1 ). Also I'm pretty sure "alps" did not build the official HTC One. Then the board, hardware and display models aren't even similar.
I would definitely call this a fake, even the status bar at the top looks different. Do you know what ROM this phone is using? This might be stated in Settings>About>Software information.
According to the AnTuTu Device Info, the rear camera is 13MP. The real phone has a 4 Ultrapixel camera. I'm pretty sure that isn't a software problem!
I'm not sure what you could do, apart from take it back to your friend.

Thanks for the answer!
It was new and completely unopened... well, at least it looked like that. The first weird thing I noticed, was that the battery was charged to something like 57%. I am not sure if this is normal or not.
Here is a screenshot of my "About" menu. Sorry for the text being in german, I hope it is still recognizable.
Also, I have compared my phone with pictures of a real HTC One - it seems very legit... is it possible that someone just exchanged parts of the hardware?

Difficult to tell from that screenshot, but the battery when new is normal. Mine was charged at about 45% when new. Does the phone feel of high quality? It should be nicely built with an aluminium body, with the 2 front boom sound speakers sounding nice and clear.

That is a worrying good copy! It says the fake has a 720p screen but the screenshots show 1080p. Still, that seems to be the only similarity to the real HTC

Lol at his picture....
He has 1gb internal storage.
It is a fake for sure. Plus hardware is the same as the link I posted, ir isn't using a Qualcomm chip
The screenshot thing could be wrong, it doesn't test the screen res but looks at the hardware info which would be easily to fake
Hmm, okay. Seems like it really is a fake, unfortunately.
I can't really tell if it feels high quality, it is not really heavy and not too light..
Thank you everyone for your help!

ok, soon i can get a new phone... thank god its about time... after a year of struggling with this hell of an device called the SE X10i o.0
now im lookin for a phone where the bootloader isnt that hard to crack xD
and came to the point of htc as many ppl told me to look at...
would you guys suggest me this phone, or should i wait a little longer for a different one?
and how is the life-time of the battery? (l0st.prophet posted that the battery lifetime is about 24hours, which sounds awesome, can more people confirm this please?)
tbh the speaker cant be worse than the one from the x10i so im not very worried about that xD
thanks in advanced for the reply's ^^
Well it depends really ?.....what i mean is that currently no root has been found so you will have to make do with the current stock rom....this is a major down side for me as i prefer stock android....other than that ...great little phone ....battery life is good does last alot longer than xperia which i had about 8 months ago and is also better than my desire hd which i also currently have....also speakers not bad at all....better then desire hd again. All in all its a nice little phone ...just no root yet
Speakers better than the DHD? Really? Sounded tinny and low quality to me durung the demo I had with the device ...
@menov, little? I though it would be the same size as the x10? Ty for replys

little as in everything is little once you hold a desire hd lol....due to its 4.3 inch screen....but phones the same sort of size as the old desire.....dont think its as big as x10 though ....although most of the bulk of the x10 was from the frame.
As for speaker....it could be better ...but it is definitely a step or two up from desire HD as i did another test today and played two identical mp3 files ans you could here the incredible s alot more
.....just a quick post to say that put them side by side just now and they are both pretty much same size just DHD is a bit harder to hold and text with one hand.
Also although the incredible s is not that much louder...the music seems to have more depth. just thought id mention it
Look at later posts by me to see comparison images
Thanks allot mate for all your efforts

Thanks, that's a good guide. I tried the IS against the DHD in store and although they are not THAT much different in size they certainly feel it!
I have to say, the IS does look incredibly classy there ... very tempting!
Any chance of a pic with the screens on btw, maybe displaying the same page or something?
If anyone has any sample images from the IS I would also be very interested to see those.
I just pre ordered a Inc S here in Denmark, and i should recieve it at the start of april.
I have a HTC HD2 with Android NAND now, so im looking forward to run original Android soon.
Hop that perm root its ready then and that there will be more accessories avalible in april.

I'm hopefully gonna be getting some help from an experianced dev on the rooting front, and I have contacted HTC about what accessories will be avalible and when (I personally want a car dock and desktop cradle) so I will post as soon as I get a reply
I am actually surprised that this phone hasn't been rooted already - even with the relatively short time it's been available.
I hope this isn't a sign that the devs are going to pass on this one - I'd like to see a LeeDroid rom for it and would be gutted to think it won't benefit from the support the Desire / DHD gets.
Edited Pics as was causing crashes on some browsers due to image size...should be a post further on...showing pics

Bigger is better - but i still prefer the Incredibel S ;-)
Thanks for the pics menov321.
The one of all three really demo's the difference between the DHD And the other two. The colours of the IS make the DHD look terrible. Can we assume that all settings on each are as close as can be to each other and this is exactly the same image background loaded onto each.
If so that's quite some demonstration of the poor quality of the DHD screen!
I'd be interested to see comparison pics of the DHD and IS displaying a graphic heavy website and also a video file or something paused to show the blacks and the contrast. I realise that's a tall order though -maybe I should just get one! lol
exactly the same image file used as just dropped the image onto each sd card of each phone ...and screen brightness is turned to full on all phones
Again i removed images as were too big..
@menov321
Would be nice if you could resize the images in your post. Or add them as attachment. Some of us are still using old mobile browsers you know
hahah...ok
hope this is better ...

Hello,
My friend and I bought 2 XPERIA TX, I noticed that his screen looks better than mine, it's very clear that his viewing angles is also better than mine.
When I looked into the software info for both phones, I found one difference.
It's the Touch Firmware Version, mine is c while his is b.
Both phones are HK version, but my phone is ZH/EN and his phone is HK/CH
This is really makes me so angry
Here are two screen shots for software info from our phones.
I don't think that alone proves it's a completely difference screen. I think the touch screen digitizer is different compared to the screen itself. How did you get to the software info screen? I want to know what my version is as well.

Press *#*#7378423#*#*

from what i know b is manufactured by sony and a is manufactured in china. not sure about c
Mine is version B, and I gotta say my screen looks pretty good.
What do you mean by better? Take some pictures or sth.
Tbh no phones are made perfect, so why complain? You're already better than people who has defected phones.

Better means better, specially in viewing angles, the phone with b firmware has much better viewing angles than c.
Defected phones are not my concern here, if I got a defected phone I'll go to SONY Service Center, that's easy.
BTW I'm a SONY fan, and I love my TX, it's really a great phone, and in general it 's better than One X and SGS III.
But if SONY is releasing the handset with different hardware, they should state it and discriminate between them.
The difference between touch firmware versions means that we have 2 different touch panels ( digitizers ).
I hope you got it now.
Mine is C, and overall the screen it's ok, but yes, the viewing angles are very poor.

So time to send it in to change a new camera module?
Are you rooted? Maybe you could try a different rom. I remember this happened when Chad (dev) was switching the rezound over to ion memory management.. Long story short the cameras had a purple tint which he said could be memory leak. So given that experience I think it could be software.
I talk to much lol. If it were my phone id exchange it.

Make sure you have not set a certain non auto white balance, and make sure you are not applying a filter to all photos (the camera app can apply filters before photos are taken, the button at the right bottom). If they all checked out, then it's probably faulty sensor.

Look for this Number at the back side somewhere in smallish letters:-
Inside the micro sd card slot will be a sliding sticker. use your long nails or a pointed screwdriver whatever, to pull it out
14W15 (as an example) that will be 2014 week 15
Thanks
14W04 (on the FCC sticker)
I bought it in September, so it makes sense, thanks for telling me.
Also it had 103 charge cycles on the battery, that also might work with 3 months (~90 days).

I wonder why Google didn't show me that info page in the first place when I searched. Heh. Thank you, both, for helping me out on this. I almost hard the darnedest time seeing it.
Looks like this device was built in late week 40 of 2013, although it was only unboxed earlier this month - as mentioned by it's previous owner. Though somehow I doubt that because the left loud speaker was inoperable, unless that was a manufacturing defect...

Sorry for replying this late, but you're somehow mistaken on the left speaker thingy
Our Z1 only has one LOUD-speaker on the bottom righest area. Though you can turn on the upper speaker as well with a mod also available on XDA. I have been using it and the mono quality speakers have become stereo; without a doubt a must thing

My rooted-stock ROM has dontbelive's stereo mod cooked-in, but only the other day did I come to realize what you just mentioned there. I knew what the mod did, though somehow it escaped me why I had it. It can take /considerable/ time for things to click. Silly me!

Hello.
So recently got my replacement of note 5 due to screen issue.
This unit is perfect the only problem is my FFC is off centerd towards bottom left.
Its not blocking picture or anything.
Just getting ocd.
So guys should I care? If the ffc is off centerd?
Posting a pic might help.

Doesn't look like its a major thing. You should take it to a Samsung Repair Center... They should be able to fix and give it back.
Well actually its not blocking pictures in anyway.. So debating should i take it for repair or not.

My S3 had a similar problem, but for the back camera. They fixed it in half hour. That's why I suggested taking it repair center.
Oh ya! Rear is actually easier to fix.. For front they will need to replace the screen or. The whole unit. Thats why debaiting.

my note 5 looks the same. it seems like the lens they are using causes it to look like off centered. Don't worry about it. Better that then them trying to dissemble the whole phone for one camera that has no defect.

I think you are right.
As the camera is working perfectly fine. It will be horrundus to sent the phone for repair. Just now I have to try controlling my damm ocd.
OCD stinks! Thanks for making me check mine. It is slightly off. Nothing to worry about. My Lumia 1520 rear camera was way off and I never had an issue. It should be fine as long as there is no vignette. ?

Have you seen my front camera pic i attached ? Do you think its way off center? Should i be worried? I know it dosent harm anything just my damm ocd.
It probably won't make difference unless your phone is pointing at an extreme angle to the sun to cause adverse vignette shading. I liken it to that micro scratch on the screen you never noticed until that one day when the sun hit it just right. Now you can't take your eyes off it...LOL!
Well, if it's a $50 phone I wouldn't care but for me it's a $1000+ phone so yeah they can fix/replace it until I get what I paid for....a premium phone.
