The Galaxy S7 copies
According to a Chinese proverb: ‘the biggest compliment that you can give your competitor is to copy their success’. Obviously, many manufacturers (mostly Chinese) are taking this proverb very seriously as copycats have multiplied on the market since the release of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. In fact, we can name the Elefone S7 or Goophone S7 Pro as copies that have excelled in the field.
It’s easy to distinguish these smartphones from a Galaxy S7 as the technical characteristics are not the same and the devices don’t carry the Samsung logo on their casing. It’s hard to be fooled. The price could also be another red flag to watch out for. It’s often possible to get good deals, but buying a Galaxy S7 for 200 euros is simply impossible!

Galaxy S7 counterfeits
On the other hand, many Galaxy S7 copies are sold online. Year after year, the businesses responsible for producing these clones improve the quality of their counterfeit devices, making it difficult for users to determine whether the device is authentic or not.
These companies not only imitate the smartphone design but also the packaging, the charger and even smartphone accessories. Many unsuspecting people can easily be fooled especially since the differences are difficult to see in photos.
