About this app

This app detects fake devices that have modified firmware which conceals the real/actual hardware specifications of the device. Other device testing apps will usually fail to report the true specifications on faked devices because they only report what the operating system tells them, which is fake specifications. This may be the only app on the play store that will report true device specifications because we do not rely on what the operating system is reporting, we find the true specs by running tests.
Many tablets being sold on Ebay, and especially coming from China have a modified operating system installed on them that reports fake/inflated specifications. This is being done so that the people who bought them won't know they have been scammed. This application was created to help protect people from this fraud by exposing these devices and showing their true specifications.

(Important Update) - We have received reports that some faked devices are blocking the install of this app, and we are also aware of devices that are blocking the execution of this app in their firmware in order to prevent exposure that they are faked. This app will install on any device from this play store listing, and will run on any device not purposely blocking it. If you are unable to install or run this test, then the device itself is blocking the installation or execution of this test, which proves the device is fake. Such devices should be returned immediately for a refund, because you are being scammed. To combat this fraud, everyone needs to insist on being able to install and run this test as a condition of device acceptance, and demand a full refund for any device that is blocking your right to check its authenticity.

The included Full SD Memory Test will identify defective and fake External SD cards. This test is more thorough than other SD memory testing apps because it verifies that every bit in the SD card's free memory space can be both set and cleared. We do this with two passes of test data which will set, clear, and verify that every memory bit is fully functional. Other SD testing apps typically perform only a single pass test, and are only testing half the memory bit states (either set or cleared), and therefore are only 50% accurate and reliable. Fake SD cards will be identified with only one pass.

(Update) - To address bad behavior in newer devices and Android versions, where the OS or added device software is closing long running apps without the users permission or acknowledgement. We have changed the test so it can be stopped and resumed without losing the testing progress. So now if the test is terminated by this bad OS behavior, it can now be restarted from the point it was interrupted.

OTG flash drives are not currently supported with the SD card test.

Ratings and reviews

Before finding this app, whenever I ordered SDcards I never had a reliable level of confidence that the card I received was a fake or not. I'd get different speed test results when testing on my PC and cellphone and the speeds NEVER came close to the advertised speeds (I realize that there's different factors to explain this). Well, even with this app they still don't (lol), but with the testing thoroughness of this app, I now have a level of confidence when it says that the card passes. Thanks!

Bought a 10" car radio on eBay for $110, description said it was Android 8.1, 2G of RAM, 32G storage, and a 1.3Ghz CPU (Box and even the "System Info" Menu on the radio software said the same). Your software showed it was actually Android 6 (high lighted in red and everything) and that it was only 1G of RAM and a 1.1Ghz CPU (Not sure why they weren't red, maybe the OS wasn't hacked, just the about section, but it did report the correct specs). Thanks for helping me not get ripped off! Emailing now about refund/return options.

Absolutely critical!! Found out about this app from watching a youtube review of the Fake Samsung S24/S25 models that looks and reports exactly like the real ones! With so many scam sellers now on marketplaces selling fake 1:1 phones that are almost impossible to distinguish by naked eyes or other methods, this application is going to be absolutely crucial as original phones keeps getting expensive and people searches for deals on third party platforms. Thanks to the developer!!
