Besides this factor, there are replicas available in the market like Korean phones that looks similar to the original phone and there is quite hard for one to check the quality of the phone that they buy.

By knowing the IMEI number of your mobile, you can verify the mobile phone quality to a great extend.

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a 15 digits number and found on the box of your mobile phone. You can also find in by removing back cover and bettery, other way of finding IMEI is dial *#06# and your IMEI will pop up. You can also find your IMEI by going in settings->about phone->status.
