Another one has just appeared as well called the No.1 S7 made again by a Chinese manufacturer, this time under the name of GizChina. This fake model is waterproof, unlike the real S5 which is only water-resistant, but only has a 13 MP back-facing camera with autofocus and an octa-core MT6592 processor ticking at 1.7 GHz with 1 GB of RAM.

What to watch out for If you aren’t able to take a look at the phone’s tech specs, but are holding a potentially fake device in your hands, then here are things to watch out for so you don’t end up buying a Galaxy S5 clone:
