For those of you who want to buy Xiaomi products or who already have them, it never hurts to check the authenticity of these products. Following this, will review the easiest, fast and effective way to find out the authenticity of Xiaomi phones.
In the tips and tricks this time, there are at least 2 powerful ways you can use to find out the authenticity of Xiaomi smartphones.
1. Verification Number IMEI or S / N
This first method is arguably the most common and easy to do. Because, every electronic product, especially smartphones, must have their own identity number called IMEI.
In general, IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. Consists of 15 digit codes. The IMEI is used as your cellphone identification number. In it there is information about the country code, assembling code, manufacturing code, and serial number.
Besides being able to be found on the sticker on the back of the cellphone or on the box, the IMEI number can also be known by pressing the code * # 06 #. Besides the IMEI, you can also use the S / N code which is usually printed along with the IMEI sticker.
After you get the IMEI or S / N number, the next step to check the original Xiaomi phone is purchased officially or is the International version, open the official Xiaomi verification site at https://www.mi.com/global/verify.
You can open the URL from the mobile browser or on the desktop PC. Next, select the tab "Verify your phone purchase" and type the IMEI or S / N Number. Then, enter the authorization code (security code) that is displayed on the bottom tab that serves to distinguish you from the search robot.
Finally, press "Verify" to confirm and information related to the IMEI data or S / N of Xiaomi mobile phones will be displayed.
2. Verification of the Security Code
If you are still not sure about the authenticity of the cellphone, this second method can be used as a determining option.
The verification step using this Security Code is not only true for smartphones, but other Xiaomi electronic products such as Powerbank and so on.
The Security Code is usually in the product box coated with a hologram and must be rubbed to find 20 hidden numbers.
After the code is found, open the Xiaomi official verification URL again at https://www.mi.com/global/verify. Select the "Xiaomi Product Authentication" tab, and enter the Security Code as well as the authorization code that appears at the bottom.
Next, press "Verify" to check the data. If appropriate, the Xiaomi product information will be displayed.
