How to figure out if your cellphone it's the original?

[Dinizbr]

Hi everybody. I've recently bought this cellphone and it will arrive very soon. But it's coming from a third party company. My question is how to figure out if this cellphone is a true Sony Xperia xz2 compact?
Thank you very much.

Ps; recently I saw a video that they did a amazing job coping a iPhone X, beautifully, almost perfect.

I don't know how it works in other countries, but here in Sweden you buy the phone from third party companies like 99.99% of the times. You should of course make sure it's a serious retailer before you even buy it in the first place, and never by it from places like Wish or Alibaba (about 99% of the stuff there is crap when it comes to mobile phones).

Got it. But is there a code, or something, that it would allow us to know if it's original? Like, to connect to PC, and use the Sony program, and if it's recognized, then we will have 100% sure it's original?

Man, only iphones get replicas because they are all status symbol.

Other peasant phones are just bought for what they are worth.
Seriously, any normal shop is good.

Never heard of a Sony replica, but technically no, there is no way that I know of. Look what apps come with it, version etc.. But I think you worry about nothing. If you bought it from a known retail store, the risk is slim to none.
