X23. Great phone but is also fraud.

[kanaiada2]

Wish.com has X23 as a phone you can buy.
Advertised as...
6.3 inch screen
6 GB RAM
128 GB ROM
Android 9.1
10 core.
6000 mAh
For about $100 USD.
It's got code in it to make that seem true. However, upon use you realize that it's a lie.
Actual specs.
2 GB RAM
32GB ROM
Android 6.0
4 core.
??? mAH. Estimate is 3200 based on a battery app.
Use 3rd party apps to see the real specs. Disk space was the hardest to figure out after consuming about 26gb, it will suddenly say you're almost out of space (128gb). For example.
However, this phone is very quick and the battery lasts about 8hrs of constant use. Longer if it's screen is off most of the day.
2 rear cameras exist but no knowledge of how to use the 2nd rear one exists. 3rd party apps don't seem to let you use it either. This night just be that I need to write a new camera app myself to access it.

Here is the advertised image.

Here is the details screen.
These are simply hand written for you to see and be convinced.
However other apps reveal the lies.

Wish dot com is selling fakes...

oh well, nothing new here.

Think they're making you believe that you're buying a Vivo X23...which this phone is not.

You know the old saying about something that looks too good to be true?

This is a classic example of the "fake phone" scam.

Are you even sure there is a second rear camera? A lens but no sensor would be cheaper, and the whole point of this is to maximize profits for the scammer.

 

[kanaiada2]

There's a few. Spotting fakes is setting 10core or Android 9.1 so far.

 

[kanaiada2]

They faked the details of the version of Android as you can see.

 

[Hadron]

Yes, that's what they do. In fact they often go a lot further than that in programming it to give fake information.

Good catch . Yes, Google officially dropped point releases last year.
