$101 Fake Samsung Galaxy S10+ - How Bad Is It

How Bad is It? Samsung S10e Clone Phone Review

**The Camera Test**

Might as well find out right? With the fake first. And then the real one. How to they stack up? Not too bad. The fake actually looks the best that I've ever seen. But obviously compared to the real phone with the 10 megapixel and the eight megapixel camera that's gonna stack up, and then of course, there's three on the back.

So next up is the Instagram test where we basically record an Instagram story and then there's a mode where you can upload directly to Instagram stories, through Samsung and Instagram's new collaboration. Compared to the fake phone, there's a convenient record button right next to the shutter. So let's just give this a whirl. So go check the quality outright after this video goes up.

It's just tech smartt at Instagram. Let's see how these upload. So on the real phone it automatically starts playing your video without audio, but you can turn that up. And then to upload it you should hit this kind of triangle button. There's one on the fake phone at the top. Oh, that's good. It says publish right to your Instagram feed. So one big telltale sign, because of the Instagram, Samsung partnership announced at the S10 event, is this whole share to the feed or story mode.

And this makes it super simple and also kind of helps polish off quality. It's not as good as an iPhone, of course. But it's not as Pixel 3 or even Google Pixel grade, and that's what I was kind of hoping for when I first jumped into the S10e. What to look for if you're picking up a phone is this Instagram icon right here, and it will obviously say, share to story or feed.

So if I hit story, automatically goes right in, queues it up. I don't want to hear it, so you guys go vote what you think looks better, compared to this. It just shares to the feed, instead of the story. So, not totally off, but definitely a telltale sign. One big thing that I think is the clear giveaway with all fake and clone devices, especially of the Samsung origin, is these bezels.

So if you guys missed it, in the S9 How Bad is It? I'll leave it right up there in the I-card. Same kind of setup, phone just looks a little different on the software side. We're gonna see how the speakers sound and I think that's a good test to see if they've improved. I mean, obviously you're gonna need to answer calls, if you still do that, probably want to play some music on YouTube Music, Apple Music, Spotify.

So why not have a good playlist? Alright I'll leave it linked down below. The PBJams playlist. It's updated every single Friday, and we're gonna fire it up YouTube Music. Both look pretty good, I mean, screen resolution on the clone I'd say is no great than 720p. It's not the best looking, like you can see what's on screen, but it's no Quad HD plus screen.

Like the S10+ blows it out of the water, and you'd expect it, but it's not bad. I'd say maybe even 1080p. I think 1080p is safe to say. Just looking at the pixels and you can tell up closest that there's fingerprint on the phone, but, yeah, doesn't look all that bad.

**The Sound Test**

We're gonna start off with the fake device first. See how that sounds. So full volume here. Slushii, see what you've got this week. (techno music) Intruder alert. Oh wow. That's louder than I thought it'd be, but not anything noticeable over previous years. It sounds like a fake device.

So let's see how the same song sounds on the real one. This should blow everything away, like microphones included. (airy techno music) Sit tight. Buckle up. It's going down. It's way better, but how much better? (techno music) Definitely louder. Can't be terminated. Okay.

(techno music) Let's hear it. (techno music) I think the phone's gonna break there. Wow, that sounds way better, as you'd expect. But much louder than previous years. Like, there's something up with these S10 speakers. Might just be the plus here, but they sound really loud. Like way louder than I was thinking.

**The Geekbench Test**

The last test we're putting into all "How Bad is It?" go forward, is testing out how good the clone really is. So we're gonna be using the Geekbench 4 app. I know, you're probably going off in the comments right now, saying, \\\

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey what's good guys?Welcome back to TechSmarttfor a classic episode ofHow Bad is It?If you guys are new to this,I have two Galaxy S10+'s,in front of me and Ev one of themis real one of them is fake.But we're gonna find out howbad the fake one really is.Didn't think I was going to catch it.Let's roll that intro.(dramatic techno music)So if you're new, make sureyou vote up in the I-cardwhich device you think is realand which device you think is fake.We have device one, and then device two,but what's interesting about this video,is that this fake costs $101.So if you want to checkit out, link's down below.And the reason we makethis is to make sureif you buy a used deviceon Ebay, Craigslist,whatever it is, maybe a year from now,maybe three years from now,whenever you're watching it,you don't get scammed andyou know what to look for.And here are just a fewsimple tests that you can putany device up to and basicallyfind out what to look for.Here's your one stop shop.So let's get to it.For a $101, which is real, which is fake.If you guys haven't seen anyof the Galaxy S10 videos,I'll link that playlistright up there in the I-card.When this showed up, andthis is the second one.There was some white stickers on it,obviously to get it topass through customs.Don't actually knowhow this one showed up.I say it with every device,so basically every video,but for $101, this is the fake oneand we're just gonna jumpright in and see what we get.There was no slide, there was no top.This was basically it.Nope like, there was no jokes there.And this is what the device looks like.So if you find in any Galaxy S10or S10+ with this kind of front sticker,and then of course theOlympic Sticker on the back,you know it's not anythinggood that you want to begetting yourself into or your money into.But with the threecameras right on the backthat's what we're gonna put to the testand see with that being a newfeature on the S10 and S10+how bad is it on $101?Accessories.This really thin piece of paper.Basic accessories included.It does charge with USB-C.With the fake S10 we're gonna put this oneto the side and jumpinto the real one here.Seems like all the ones on Ebay,that's who hooked it up this yearwith all the Samsung stuff.We're gettin' it, we're gettin' it.Don't even need a knife.(beep)So it seems like Ebay, and all the phoneson there have this free SD card,so this is what an S10box should look like.Same with the S10+.Has the S10 kind of white stamp,or whatever color device you have.It's color corresponding with the font.So, Ev, white phone,plus,and here she is.So this is the PrismWhite, not the ceramic one.The would be the move.You know what to expect.Wallbrick, OTG,AKG headphones,and then a USB-C cable.With these clones and fakes,they're always getting better.So whenever you see this video,the link down in the descriptionshould stay updated andfor $101 you get to seelike different colors and variations.So on this particular modelit is a 6.3 inch screen,and compared to the real Galaxy S10+,that is a 6.4 inch screen, so that's justsomething to look out for.Eight gigabytes of storagewith one gigabyte of RAM.So always interesting tosee what actually shows up.And for the colors, thisis what caught my eye.It comes in gold.Gold isn't one of the colorsthey offer on the S10+.It only comes in five colorsthat you'll probably seeand then two ceramic versions that area little more expensive.Prism White is what we have hereand gold is not really an option.You have this Canary Yellow, but you candefinitely tell it's yellow and not a goldfrom what other modelshave had in previous years.So with that in mind Ev,for $101,oh, you can go all the wayup to 16 gigs of storage.Takes an SD card so ofcourse you could expand it.$117 bucks and thenfor full on tech specs,for features, Gravity Response.Ev, don't you wanna know when gravity'sworking and when it's not working?(whimsical music)Scares me every time.Wireless charger, BackCamera, Google Play Store.So we'll test all that out,and then you have Face ID?I think that's and iPhone feature?Interesting to see if they're gonna havethe Ultrasonic Fingerprint, thein-screen fingerprint readerthat the real S10+ has, because that'sdefinitely a distinguishing feature.And well, we'll just jump right into it.I mean, I think the onlything really left to do issee how bad the fake clone really is.So with the screen protectors on there,you gotta take 'em off andit always seems to bejust I think time,but no one's really tryingwhen they try to make theseand making it look somewhat accurate.So obviously I got one in black,they don't make one in white.You guys saw it on the site.But with the three camerasthat's one of the big thingsto look for this year onthe Galaxy S10 and S10+.If there's anything less thanthat it is definitely a fake,or it might be a Galaxy S10e.Probably not though ifyou're watching this video.So with this, nothingreally else is on the back.You can tell the corners are really curvedcompared to the S10+.Looking at the thickness,the fake is about1 1/2 times thicker.I'd say a little heavierthan the real Galaxy S10.Things that you would definitely expect,you have your volume buttonson the side right there,and then the Bixby button,everyone's favorite.And then what is kind ofinteresting is the power button'sI would say is near the cameras for sure.Compared to the fake onewhich is a little lower,and oh, there isn't thatwhole punch in the screen.So that is one thing todefinitely take into account.Now at both phones areunboxed, we're gonna put themto the test with three apps.The first one that iskind of a dead giveawayis if your Galaxy S10 or S10+ doesn't havethe in-fingerprint reader, orthe Ultrasonic Fingerprint.So that basically means,instead of having face unlock,which both devices support,this one calls it Face ID thoughyou can actually just restyour fingerprint at the lowerthird of your phone and it should unlock.So to find this, justdiving in to settings,at the top, see if it's even supported.Going down to biometrics and security,fingerprints,add the pin,continue,and as you see on the screen,just resting your fingerprintup against the phone.The one thing I don't reallylike and why I've actuallybeen using the S10e, is thefingerprint reader is on thepower button which is onthe side of the phone,versus in the screen.And for me I just likethat a little bit better.So that's interesting, it tooka little bit of time to findbut there actually is a fingerprint mode.So just rest your fingerprint.Okay.Fingerprints are both recorded.But before we test that out,just looking at the time.On the fake phone, this is just somethinginteresting to put in.Try to put in your localcity and see if it finds it.For me it only comes up with Beijing,Tianjin, Shanghai and Shenzhen.So I try Los Angeles, it pops up,but then it doesn't really pop up.But the clock is just awidget that's pre-installed,you can of course get rid of it,but on the S10+ it obviously finds it.So that's kind of interesting.Let's see how well thisfingerprint reader works.I'm going to try it with my left thumb.Well it unlocked with the wrong thumb.So I don't have a whole lot of hope.It just really works ifyou press in while you alsolay your finger on thesensor or just screen.It works with basically any finger.So fingerprint reader, not really.And then on the S10+, you justkinda press in a little hard.It's still really responsiveand fast on the S10+.Bezels, no hole punch.How is the camera?Might as well find out right?With the fake first.And then the real one.How to they stack up?Not too bad.The fake actually looks thebest that I've ever seen.But obviously compared to the real onewith the 10 megapixel andthe eight megapixel camerathat's gonna stack up, and then of course,there's three on the back.So next up is the Instagramtest where we basicallyrecord an Instagram storyand then there's a mode whereyou can upload directlyto Instagram stories,through Samsung andInstagram's new collaboration.Compared to the fakephone, there's a convenientrecord button right next to the shutter.So let's

of helpspolish off quality.It's not as good as an iPhone, of course.But it's not as Pixel 3 oreven Google Pixel grade,and that's what I was kind of hoping forwhen I first jumped into the S10e.But what

playlist.It's updated every single Friday,and we're gonna fire it up YouTube Music.Both looks pretty good, I mean,screen resolution on the cloneI'd say is no great than 720p.It's not the best looking,it's definitely legible,like you can see what's on screen,but it's noQuad HD plus screen.Like the S10+ blows it out of the water,and you'd expect it, but it's not bad.I'd say maybe even 1080p.I think 1080p is safe to say.Just looking at the pixelsand you can tell up closethat there's fingerprintson the phone, but,yeah, doesn't look all that bad.We're gonna start off withthe fake device first.See how that sounds.So full volume.Here we go Slushii, seewhat you've got this week.(techno music)♪ Intruder alert ♪- Oh wow.That's louder than I thought it'd be,but not anything noticeableover previous yearsthat's like worth mentioning to you guys.It sounds like a fake device.So let's see how the samesong sounds on the real one.This should blow everythingaway, like microphones included.(airy techno music)Sit tight.Buckle up.It's going down.It's way better, but how much better?(techno music)Definitely louder.Can't be terminated.Okay.(techno music)Let's hear it.♪ Intruder alert ♪(techno music)- I think the phone's gonna break there.Wow, that sounds waybetter, as you'd expect.But much louder than previous years.Like, there's something upwith these S10 speakers.Might just be the plus here,but they sound really loud.Like way louder than I was thinking.The last test we're puttinginto all How Bad is It?'sgoing forward, is testing outhow good the clone really is.So we're gonna be usingthe Geekbench 4 app.I know, you're probablygoing off in the commentsright now, saying, \"It'snot the most accurate app.\"Sometimes manufacturersactually boost the metrics upbecause the phone knows it'srunning that specific app.So for specs, the one onthe left has eight gigabytesof RAM, the one on theright should have at leastone gigabyte of RAM.But that's where we're gonna find outif there's any surprises.So accept it, CPU benchmarks, okay.Android 9 four cores.So you see, they tried.They tried to get that quad-core in there,but only one of the clusters is running.You guys just want to see the score.That's kinda what I want to see.Let's let this thing run, do it's magic.This test is blowing the other phone away.This is the test we should'vebeen doing from the start.Both Geekbenches have finishedup and it's really tellingjust with this test, andobviously why it's gonna bein every How Bad is It? going forward,is how telling the score is betweenthe real phone and the fake phone.So on the real Galaxy S10we have a Single-Core Scoreof 4500, and then aMulti-Core Score of 10673.673 doesn't mean a whole lot,but compared to the fake phone,415 on the Single-Coreand then Multi-Core,which is the four coresworking all at once,this is TechSmartt right?A thousand.So not actually, yeahit's a pretty big deal.The phone's usable as a fake phone,but don't expect to be gaming too hard,watching too many videos.I think you could maybedo one thing at a time?Compared to eight gigabytes of RAM,and that's what RAM really helps with,you can multitask anddo anything you want.And with Samsung's decks youcould plug the Galaxy S10or any of the S10's inand use it as a computer.Imagine 12 gigabytes of RAM in that Ev.Uh-mag-in.So to answer this video's question,how bad really is a $101fake Galaxy S10+?Pretty bad.I mean for a $101, you're gettingsort of what you'd expect in a phone,but like most How Bad is It?'s,especially with the Galaxy S clones,it's not really that much.You're getting a phone that works,that can watch a little bit of YouTube.But with the Galaxy S10+,what I really like about itis the full 6.4 inch screen, having thatUltrasonic Fingerprintbuilt into the screen.It's pretty cool and compared on the fake,it's there but it's notkeeping your device secure.So do these really compare up?Not really.Just the price.And now you guys know, ifyou are buying a Galaxy S10on Craigslist a little earlyor at some point in the future,what to look out for, because these thingsreally aren't changing.It's gonna take a little bit of time.We're close though.Guys, that's it for this video.If you guys liked it, makesure to drop a thumbs,get subscribed if you're new,and join too, to become a member.It's super cheap, andthere's one
