Xiaomi: How to check, if your Phone is Original or Fake? - 2 ways to check, if it is real or not

With this tutorial video, I want to show you, how you can find out, if your Xiaomi phone/tablet is an original or just a clone. I will show you two ways to check the IMEI number and the model number.

1. IMEI number (an unique number for each phone): dial the code *#06#
2. IMEI check: Settings - About Phone - Kernel version (tap 5 times) - check version info

It works for several devices like:
Xiaomi 12 (Pro), 12X, 12S (Pro)
Xiaomi Mi 11 (Pro/Ultra), 11T (Pro)
Xiaomi Mi 10 (Pro), Mi 10T (Pro)
Xiaomi Mi 9 (Pro), Mi 9 T (Pro)

Thank you so much!! I'll be doing this right after getting my Xiaomi 11T Pro I bought online ♡

Is there anything you can check before buying it?

Hi, is this codes/steps can also be used in redmi note 11? Thanks!

Thank you,
I had some suspicious about my new phone, Redmi Note 10 Pro 5g, bought it in Lazada in Thailand, same price as shop,
But when i start it, the Redmi logo don't show, instead I have a Pocco logo
"weird" I thought !
The 3go system update took 6h00
The camera doesn't work
But guys, I'm a geek, and it really look like a f**k** real remdi 10 pro

So I check the serial number on the phone
"Unknow" for the SN
The IME1 and IME2 are both ok

And all the number are wrong on the MI website, "Doesn't Exist"

So I guess I have to ask my money back, damn it

Thank you for the video man

When I clicked on it 3 times, it actually entered, but it turned on youtube. Is it normal?

[edwardleonen]

Why your phone don’t have snapdragon on cpu is that normal?

[kosmakos]

Welp i checked my imei numbers in the phone because i dont have the box and i visited the website and it seems fine but can they change the imei on the phone to trick you ?

[AquilaLrCrafts]

Thanks
Just checked my Mi 10t and it's original

[weskinjames]

Why would you censor your phone model but not the IMEI number?
