So I recently bought a S23 Ultra off of amazon, when it got here the box was in perfect condition, looked just like the original box, I open the box and the phone also looks completely original, the cameras and everything, onylt hign that looks odd is the selfie camera which looks just slightly bigger than what i’ve seen. I did the “*#06$” thing to check imei and it checks out on the box and phone and everything. Even inside the camera app it says 200mp and gives me an 8k option, but the camera and phone itself are horrible and slow.

    Reddit removed the Imgur link you posted, But yes that’s a 110% fake unit. 1. Fake Boot up screen. The real boot up screen doesn’t mention the model. 2. Fake software. The settings app doesn’t look like that 3. The selfie camera isn’t that huge.

    To anyone else who sees this, Amazon US is notorious for scammers when buying electronics. People often receive boxes full of stones instead of electronics.

    It’s disgusting that Amazon even sell these fake phones. What a horrible company. Hope you can get a refund and buy a real one.

    Download AnTuTu and perform the verification test. Its one of the couple programs that actually gives proper results, and you can use it as proof. Hope everything works out in the end !
