IMEI PROBLEM

[kiwiG]

Can someone please help me with my IMEI I have a Samsung s23 5G because it say that my phone is a Samsung s21 Ultra I don't know why

Um...where did you purchase the phone?

[Zero_83]

If you bought your phone from eBay or from some random person on the street you probably bought a clone phone where it's not a real Samsung Galaxy S23 and what you have is a fake S23 with a real IMEI number for the S21

Fake phones will mock things all the time from what your phone claims it is to how much memory you have on the inside of your phone to even claiming all the cameras work when actually it's just one of the cameras that's real so hopefully you bought it from a respectable store

I agree with @Zero_83 cloned phoned most likely or a phone perhaps that's been changed on inside i.e parts etc

[Zero_83]

Or a phone that was originally locked and banned due to non-payment which was sold and somebody rooted got into put software on and then sold as a new phone it's something that happens all the time and has had happened for eons now it's quite unfortunate but it's how it is these clone phones are becoming more 1:1 than ever before

True but would explain the model difference if was just unpaid phone that got black listed

[Zero_83]

You would be surprised I understand that the back of the S21 had more of a square while the s23 only had the circles for the camera but let's just say that this a gentleman isn't up to date with what these phones look like someone who isn't keeping up with the Joneses as they say to somebody like that they wouldn't know the difference of someone told them it was an s23 compared to an S21 especially with how Samsung has been keeping their phones looking exactly the same over the last how many Renditions

Well this answer is going for all

This Samsung i have right now it was a gift from a family member, I never asked where he get it but know all your answer give me a expectation of where he get it, and its was probably from a cell thech store

And I know that those stores have a lot of cloned phones

Had this issue with a S22U, the AT&T app said it was a S21U and on the website, it said it was a Note20U, the phone came from Samsung
