Reason for purchase After playing abroad for a while, I fully appreciate the limitations of our large LAN. Whether it is downloading an application or watching a live broadcast of a video, you will be deeply impressed by how the Celestial Kingdom was separated from the rest of the world. I use the iPhone to download a few applications in New Zealand are also a variety of geographical restrictions, forcing me to consider buying an Android phone as a backup machine, but there must be a native Google market can go over the wall to download some foreign software. After all, Google's downloading application is not as strict as Apple's App Store's geographical restrictions, and Apple must now have a local credit card or gift card to switch geographical areas. Searching for an overseas version of the mobile phone on Taobao, I feel that the most cost-effective or LG G5, and I like this niche stuff, G5 has more personality, but also modular (pit money), choose to choose to support mobile, Unicom's 4G Korean version of the mobile phone is the most suitable and includes native Google suites. Broke the news! Taobao also have original overseas version of the phone? ! The purpose of this article is not to open the box, review, but to answer a question you seem to know but are not sure, that is: Taobao also has the so-called original overseas version of the phone? The answer is: Look at my expression —> I will take you to see how I confirm that the so-called "Korean original unopened" is made by authentic Huaqiang North (refurbished). Out of the box After taking out the package from the express parcel, this packaging made me amazing, it must be the original no doubt ah, regardless of cleanliness or the appearance of a new ironclad. The seal is still good to stay in it, it must be the seller promised "new original unopened." Note that the KT near the seal is a telecommunication operator in South Korea. From the packaging point of view, this is a customized machine launched by KT. This picture, you are well, remember, IMEI, S / N I give you all, you go back and see your own "original Korean version" G5, is not the same with this IMEI? (Who specializes to imprint your IMEI on my box?) I'm optimistic about the IMEI knocking you on. Come, I will take you to fly. What is the IMEI query result, production date of October 7, 2016? Is it new enough? With my big Taobao casually looking for a family, I said that the promise of casually looking for a family is the same? No problem, right? Equipment Model LG-F700L Unpacking The mobile phone is quietly lying in the box, does it have a feeling of opening (secondary opening)? Brand new accessories, I took out the headset and looked it out. The phone is new enough, there are plastic cover tips button position. The sticker on the back is the same with the box information. The device model LG-F700 is shown here, but the delivery date is indeed September 2016, which is inconsistent with the online inquiry time. LG's screen appears after booting All of the out-of-the-box processes made me appreciate the Taobao sellers. I finally met a good seller who was reliable in speaking and business. No matter where they looked, they were brand new and unopened. This year, Taobao found an honest seller to launch in North Korea. It is still difficult for the Monkey Monkey to succeed. Powered on the operator interface, what did you find? ! The carrier on the box is KT, but the boot screen is SKT, Oh, what's going on? Let's take a look at the hardware information in the settings. Equipment model: LG-F700S. Ah, buy a disc, the box is clearly written LG-F700L ah! People who studied the G5 Korean version knew that the number behind the 700 must represent the operator. The inconsistency between the hardware and the boxing began to give me suspicion, and then I scrutinized the body. There is a small pit on the edge of the screen and slight bumps. There is a clear gap between the screen and the border in the upper left corner. It should be that when the screen is changed again, the edge is not properly repaired, or the rear frame is defective. The edge is not smooth with sharp objects. There is a small amount of wear marks in the middle of the earphone hole and the infrared, and the surface of the right edge of the earphone hole is highlighted by the re-lacquer. As long as the person who has dismantled his mobile phone, he can be sure that these traces are 100% non-original machines, either refurbished machines or direct second-hand chargers, but from the position of the earphone holes, the lacquer layer is obviously thickened. The description was refurbished. Based on the above situation I contacted the seller, the seller's attitude is very firm, always insist on two points: I sell a brand new original machine; do not return. Deliberate people certainly understand why the seller is so determined to return, just want to block your mouth. This is part of my dialogue with the seller, the seller did not admit it first, and later let go, and in WeChat also admitted that it was refurbished, getting goods from the upstream. My attitude is that if Taobao does not have a brand new Korean original product, I accept the refurbished machine, but I do not accept high prices to buy refurbished machines. I only ask that the normal price of refurbished machines on Taobao be OK. You sell the refurbished machine by the original new machine at a high price, I certainly can not, you can win the white, let Xiaobai think that selling a new machine at low prices can also get happiness, you want to cheat people who often play machine or else. Then there is a detail that makes me sure that this is a refurbished machine, that is, the firmware downloaded with the LG Bridge upgrade prompt cannot be used for this phone. Because the official upgrade program is based on the mobile phone IMEI to identify the phone model and download the firmware, I worked very hard to download the F700L firmware through LG Bridge, the results tell you that the F700L firmware does not apply F700S. Identifying the Precautions for Refurbished Machines 1. The machine model identified by the machine is F700S, and the model of the box is F700L. It is impossible for the seller to say Korean version. 2, to LG's Korean website to see, F700 only S and L two models, there is no F700K, if you buy the F700K, Oh do not say. The F700S is an operator SKT, and the F700L is an LG U+. There is also KT in Korea, but only L and S on the official website. 3. The operator on the box is KT. Combined with the above second article, even if the operator is KT, the model on the box should be either F700K or F700L, not even the F700S displayed on the hardware. Even more funny is that South Korea's official website has a review article of the Korean media on the G5, there are two carriers of the box picture, I sent the seller to see, sell home then tell me that the US version of the box. . . (If you encounter me in this situation, what specific model of the phone, based on the hardware, the hardware display F700S must be S, then asked people who Taobao Brush, brush other firmware will crash, but IMEI casually write.) 4. The shipment date of the IMEI inquiry is October 2016. The production date on the battery is February 2017. The seller said that this is the case, and the batteries are all put back. Rub, really test my IQ, this special is also Taobao introduced himself as an honest seller, as long as the praise does not profit, that is so honest? Which manufacturer will leave the handset in October and then insert the battery in four months before putting it on the package and selling it? seek death? By the way, the battery is definitely imitation, can not be original, although the seller firmly denied, but common sense tells you it can not be true, it is estimated that Taobao on the individual seller of the so-called original battery can not be true. The power-off rate is absolutely just right. 5, South Korea's evaluation of the screws are yellow flat head, my mobile phone screws are white round head. And Baidu has a post, and some people also said this problem. There is also a tamper-evident sticker. Mys is a G. My colleague's post is LG. Here is my mobile phone. Below is a screenshot of Korean review article. 6, can not be upgraded through the LG Bridge, suggesting that F700L firmware can not be applied to the F700S mobile phone. F700S firmware can only be downloaded from a foreign website via another Brush program. (After brushing the IMEI of the F700S, the mobile phone can receive the push of the OTA and download the system update and upgrade. The IMEI on the Taobao is very fast, without resetting the system.) 7, through the collision traces on the phone, no matter how good the renovation is not as original brand new machine, will certainly leave traces. Powerful Huaqiang North When I went to Shenzhen on a business trip, I saw people in Huaqiangbei refurbishing the hardware. I did not expect Huaqiang North's renovation to be a large-scale industry, and the ability to refurbish fraud was so strong. The previous refurbishment is nothing more than the unpacking machine without a box or display machine, 14 days machine or something, now the packaging box, packaging all the details have been done in place. The seller's mobile phone is also wholesale from the upstream, the mobile phone refurbishment to this extent, if not some small details did not handle well, if I get a F700L mobile phone and there is no bumping marks, I will certainly be a seller I am grateful that I have bought a baby and you will believe it is a brand new machine inside and out. These details can be achieved, and it can be imagined that all links and factories (smuggling, printing, packaging, refurbishment, sales, maintenance, and after-sales) have formed a very large-scale and streamlined process. It is estimated that those original cottages are behind them. Manufacturers now do not make cottages and integrate upstream resources to form a one-stop production and sales chain. I really did not realize that Huaqiang North’s refurbishment capability would be so formalized, and that it was still a small workshop. I was actually OUT. And behind I let the seller think of ways to brush back to the F700S IMEI, also seen in Taobao this big temperature bed how the seller and the brush machine sellers, maintenance sellers form alliances with each other. Nima's Made in China is awesome for my Huaqiang North! to sum up Through this incident, I realized that I would like to buy the so-called original unopened Taobao, which is purely wishful thinking. I did not dare to conclude that I must not, but I should almost never be able to. On Taobao, to buy this kind of overseas goods, it would be nice to have foreign waste and refurbished machines. It is really not necessary to spend extra money on fake packaging. Everybody don't ask me where I bought the product. After all, I also discussed the refund with the seller. After I paid 20 yuan for this routine, I still have to do it. After all, I'm able to recover part of my expenses. I'm not willing to break those. We think that buyer who bought baby is happy. And subsequent sellers also paid for the cost of brushing back IMEI. It's not easy to do business. I don't name it here. However, from a consumer's point of view, this phenomenon is not expected to breed. I do not want more people to be deceived. Taobao has provided us with convenience, so that we can have a way to buy refurbished machines, two mobile phones or other magical things, but this is still a good thing. It is still too common to behave in real Maheng family. The Chinese must practice eye-catching and strong bodies in food, drink and other aspects. Only this article and my experience give those consumers on Taobao a lesson and a reminder. Many points of experience are less deceived, and this community will not be so tired. Incidentally, as long as the IMEI matches the hardware, it can receive OTA push. As long as you have the so-called US version, Hong Kong version, Korean version, and Taiwan version, even if you contribute IMEI to your friends, your IMEI is definitely not the only one. The contribution of the IMEI can be used to refresh the machine to achieve OTA push, it can be considered a contribution. My current F700S IMEI is There is a problem, my LG Bridge life and death is not connected to LG AirDrive, who knows how to solve?
