Chinese kopipasta

The skill of Chinese master copy has no equal. Often the difference between a fake and the original can not be detected at first sight, because the Chinese carefully repeated appearance of things. But filling - almost always an unpleasant surprise for the customer, who decided to save. Here are some examples.



1. Hard disk
To order a certain technique in China is really cheaper - because there are assembled a lot of things, and have the opportunity to purchase goods free of customs duties and store markups. That's just such savings often brings to mind the saying "miser pays twice».



Ordering in China the hard disk of 500 GB, you will soon discover that it is a strange work. It seems that the computer determines the true available disk space - almost 500 "gigs", large files are written correctly, but when reading the system shows only the last 128 MB. An autopsy showed:



... USB flash drive with 128 megabytes and a few large nuts for weight. Small Chinese miracle!

2. Headphones
One of the most frequently counterfeited headphones in the world today are considered Monster Beats. Deceivers at hand, that the majority of customers appreciate the headphones do not sound, and only the outer "coolness."



Therefore, only enough to accurately reproduce the external shape. The pictures - Monster Beats Solo HD: Right original, on the left - a fake.





From the most basic differences may be noted that counterfeiting non-removable power cord, it is made of smooth plastic (original - frosted). Also, headphones Monster Beats Solo HD is a headset and a copy - only headphones without a microphone and control buttons. But it is necessary to know. Exactly like the fact that these Monster Beats are not sold on the market.



3. DVR
This technique is very popular in Russia. No secret that almost 90% sold on the market registrars are made in China and Taiwan. Usually Russian companies simply buy ready-noname-recorders, put your logo, translate menus in Russian and dumped on the market. Manufacturers registrars to draw attention to their products, often copy the more expensive and high-quality model. As a result, we see in stores almost identical model. For example, AdvoCam-FD5 Profi and teXet DVR-603FHD.



And to understand just who is the "Chinese", but someone invented in Russia, is not easy. And especially not at once will understand, who is better to remove, because the characteristics stated in both almost identical!



However, the reality is that in AdvoCam-FD5 Profi set quality glass optics (against plastic in teXet), a professional and powerful processor matrix Ambarella A5S (against obsolete Ambarella A2S60 in teXet). Therefore, the video from the "Advokama" get a clear as day and night. Filmed on teXet, by contrast, looks "zamylennym».



AdvoCam - a brand owned by the Russian company, which has been working in the market of video surveillance, independently develops all devices and only contract assembly trust the Chinese. teXet, like many umbrella brand, is working on the above scheme: "bought - put your logo - sold." Detailed debriefing on the subject have Habré.

4. Brand watches
Watch by Armani, Patek Philippe or Calvin Klein for 990 rubles have long been Russian reality. The shops openly declare that it is a fake, and no trace of embarrassment for the theft of intellectual property on the faces of the sellers there. However, quite a different thing when boutiques can afford to sell consumer goods. And this happens all the time.



For example, these two models Calvin Klein: externally they differ only the location of the inscription Swiss Made. On the right - the original left - fake.



But even before the expensive purchase is not superfluous to see what it looks like a collection of the official website of the brand.

5. Machinery
Here a little different story - their Chinese cars do not issue for the European, but completely copy someone else's design. Record for copies may be considered plant Yema Auto. They immediately fired three "pirate" cars: Yema E-SUV (copied from Infiniti EX), Yema F16 (Audi A4 Avant), Yema T-SUV (Volkswagen Tiguan).
