There is a app called Samsung phone info that would confirm that your phone is legit. If it's s refurbished phone.
All though the clone they can be tricky but I heard the spend is a dead give way. I only buy phones from a trustworthy store I would never buy a used phone unless I just wanted it for parts

You can do a search in youtube, there are many videos reviewing/comparing clones, fakes, knock offs, etc. , do you suspect your device is not genuine?

Samsung clones are pretty obvious, very easy to tell the difference, even down to the box. Check YouTube, videos of clones are always posted for all popular model Samsung phones.
Oh cmon!
If you can`t spot a fake Note 8 then you shouldn`t be on a developers site!
Only the non-technically-minded, older people (maybe) and just the plain thick would be duped.

He just asking a question. I really not sure why he is asking maybe he was looking at one used and don't want cheated wants to know what to look for. There are games everywhere. You got to know what to look for. If he never seen a note 8 in person I can see one getting fooled
This is a site for all people all ages noobs or veterans alike...This is how most of us learned android......
This is most def a legit ? and I encourage people to ask this as I have seen very professional looking clones in my day and as well as people Cross flashing models to dupe people And most of us would be none the wiser at first.....
Obviously the clones have been getting better over time, my question was geared towards people that have seen a clone in person, I haven't seen either so I wanted to be cautious since my primary market is the used cell phone one
This is the exact reason I posted the question, I usually buy used and didn't want to get scammed since I haven't seen a real note 8 in person
Exactly, you got my point, better me safe than sorry
UPDATE: At the end bought a new Note 8 from samsung.com for $560.00, not bad at all :good:

I was looking at one in local area app for $300 and wanted to make sure it's the real deal too ?
Right about what? So, you think of you as a teenager or tech savvy , the only types that can perfectly identify a clone device? Then clearly you must be a teen, and obviosly have not seen as much in this world, as other "older" or non tech savvy have
How to tell if it is a clone!!!
Look at sim tray. If not flush, beware. Next go to recovery. If you see fast boot hand it back. Also look for build number and tap to see if you see USB debugging in dev options. Just my 2 cents.
