Everything except the screens showing it running. That is how you are really going to know. Buy instead from a known source and you don't have to worry.
Looks legit...
Corners scratched BTW I looked at the same one on eBay

just never buy a phone without running CPU-Z on it first.
When I have sold phones I've uploaded a photo of the phone showing the CPU-Z screen CPU info so people know it's legit.
There's way too many fakes out there these days.
Not only that, but I hear stories of people buying phones second hand and then a week or later they become black listed.
Some people sell their phones then claim they got it stolen or lost and claim on insurance for a new one, the insurance company then blacklists the old EMEI number.
Long story short, I would never buy a second hand phone.
If it's Ebay you have 14 days iron clad money back clause. When you get it, check it, if it's fake, send it back but make sure you start your refund process direct with ebay, not by dialog with the seller.
If you can a screen of it in Recovery then you'll know it's real. If it comes up in Chinese then it'a a fake

I'm so mad right now. I use a Bodyglove case and the phone has never been dropped so I have to send the entire phone back to T-Mobile in order for me to get another.
Anyone else notice this? I might just suck it up and buy a replacement back instead because I REALLY don't want to have to set everything up on a new device, and be without it for any period of time.

Mine did the same thing around the speaker phone. Took it off and put on a skin. I think, though, that rubber is resilient, those dents will come out naturally over time. Reason I think this, I had a small dent like mark on the back of my phone (before I bought the body glove) and I was P**SED!!! A couple days later I was inspecting the phone and it was gone.
Hope it does the same with yours (and mine, its under the skin now so wont know).
should i cancel my order? i just got mine online and now i'm having second thoughts, haha. anyway, what discoloration?
wayyy back in 1999 i had a nokia 8850 mobile phone. in 2001, while living in hong kong i sold it as the screen was dead. now, fast forward to 2011. around 4 weeks ago my former mba classmate (in hong kong) sent me an email. she was shopping around the side streets of hk (kowloon, tsim tsa tsui) for a cheap and simple mobile phone for her 11 year old son. she stumbled on this nokia 8850 so she asked the vendor for it. she opened the back to check that all's well. upon removing the battery, she noticed a name that's been scribbled on the chrome surface. lo and behold, it was my name. i know, freaky. and i kid you not. anyway, she remembers me as we were study partners. so she sent me an email asking if i wanted to get the phone. of course i said yes! i offered to pay but she said the phone was too cheap so she shipped it right away. last friday (the 30th of sept), the parcel arrived. i put in a sim card and it works! very interesting...and freaky...that something from my past made its way back to me. just thought i'd share it. oh, and check out my signature. second to the bottom is that same nokia 8850 in the pic.

Cool story, bro. No, really cool
So, I was talking on the phone in bed and this is what has happened to my phone.

I always did this on my HTC Magic (MT3G) and this never happened in the year I had it. After using my phone like I always had, the backlight has come loose, the screen glue connecting the LCD to the glass has come loose, and now my phone looks awful. I am extremely displeased.
Protip: do not ever put your face on your phone if you intend on hands free usage.
i'm pretty much sure they would fix it under warranty

I'm well aware they would, but it's a pain in the ass since I pretty much always need my phone and my MT3G is half broken.
My point was more that this phone has not gone through even 2 months of usage and it is already damaged; what's to say this won't happen again even with a replacement? I use my technology of all sorts very heavily, and I was hoping that an HTC phone would once again get me what I wanted. This has not shown to be the case. Anecdotal evidence, sure, but it has happened to me and it is quite possible that it could happen again.
sad to see that, even with that hugely obscene glob of glue they put in there...
Sucks that you'll be without a device for a few days, but warranty service should take care of it.
If you wanted to use your paid warranty on it you wouldn't be without a phone since you'd get the new one in before you had to ship the old one out, but that does count as a strike against your paid warranty...
Wish I had some words to make it better...
I received a "t-mobile replacement" for my "insurance refurbished Note 5" . Look at the differences. The one on the right is either an old hardware revision or a bad refurbished.

The CPO (certified preowned) I bought is the newer style with FCC stuff on the bottom back.
Sent from my phone...
i see a Note 5 that had the back glass replaced. The picture of the lense - idk what I'm looking at. Be specific when you post stuff like this. It looks dirty either inside or outside but idk what is going on.
Why did you use your insurance?
Tmobile is good at many things; refurbishment isn't one of them. They send I my self and a friend of mine have both received refurbished devices that should not have been able to pass quality control with even a cursory inspection.
Samsung did make a change on the S-Pen piece that was getting broken when you inserted it in backwards.

They didn't have my previous phone so they sent the N5 instead. Yeah, the lense is dirty inside. T-mobile replaced it with no question asked.
I am buying note 10 from someone who bought this from USA but didn't use it. (I want the snapdragon variant which is not sold in my country)
Can someone tell me if this phone looks like an authentic or a fake one?

I watched a bunch of YouTube unboxing videos but none of them had the charger or headphones put in plastic bags so I got skeptical a little bit( 2nd photo)

Check the IEMI number.
Step 1: You can dial *#06# on your phone to get your IMEI number. Also, you'll get it by going to Settings>About Device>Status.
Step 2: Once you get the IMEI, go to imei.info, input the number on the dialog box and hit Check
Step 3. The system will automatically phone's information. If it shows something else than what your phone is saying, it is likely to be a fake brand.
