For all China Spec and Xiaomi buyers and sellers
We got report from market that people are selling refurbished as new Xiaomi phones.
1. Please make sure you verify the imei on phone with the box is matched
1.1. Enter *#06# on the dialpad to find your IMEI.
1.2. Go to Settings -> About phone -> Status to look up your S/N.
In case the imei in phone doesn't match the imei on box, that must be a problem phone.
2. The link below is from Official Xiaomi that can check the authentication of your Xiaomi phones

Because Xiaomi is China Brand, the result maybe in simplified chinese
2.1 If it shows 官翻机 in the result as shown in the pictures
means it is a CPO phone
2.2 If it shows "Your Imei doesn't exist, please verify and enter again" in the result as in the picture
That means it is from an unknown source and not original and not brand new
2.3 If it shows Chinese Character without 官翻机 in the result as in the picture
That means it is an original and official brand new phones
Those Chinese characters only showing it can be verified and is authentic
All phones from Xiaomi no matter it is Warranty or Parallel exported / International spec or China Spec can verify as above.
Please be aware and buy from reliable supplier only.
