Lightbulb Check IMEI and know your phone quality!
Want to know where is your mobile come from and their build quality?

Here is a short reference. You MAY or MAY NOT trust this information below.

Check your phone IMEI:
e.g: 345678200345678

If the 7th and 8th number is 20

then it is come from China = Bad quality

02 or 20 : From China = Bad quality
08 or 80 : From Germany = Quality not bad
01 or 10 : From Finland = Good quality
00 or 03 or 04 : Origin from the cell phone company = Extremely good quality
13 : From Azerbaijan = Extremely poor quality

Is it true? Only you and me know it....

If it is true, leave me a comment.

Thanks,

Hmmm that's interesting ... i'll check ... 00 = really good quality... it's an iPhone that is made in China... so it should be a 02 or 20
iPhone 3G -> iPhone 4 -> Galaxy Neuxs -> Nexus 4

Asus Transformer -> iPad 3rd Gen <-> Nexus 7
