00:00This is a $1,300 Samsung S25 Ultra.

00:03This is a $300 fake.

00:05They look almost identical.

00:07So I've decided to buy 10 of the most recognizable tech products.

00:10And for every one, we have found the best fake version on the internet

00:13to find out, are the fakes actually sometimes better value?

00:17So let's start with speakers.

00:18So this is the real $300 Harman Kardon Aura Studio 4.

00:22And then this is the $80 2025 LP90 Crystal Pro Bluetooth Speaker

00:29Harman-like base fourth gen with TF card slot and FM radio.

00:34Catchy.

00:37So the fake one is like 15% smaller.

00:40It's got slightly more obvious buttons and the glass,

00:43the plastic has a bit more of a tint to it.

00:46I wouldn't say anything about it looks or feels worse.

00:49Yeah, it's a tiny bit heavier, but not more than you'd expect,

00:52given it's a little bit bigger.

00:53Plus the real one's plastic too.

00:55So really, this just comes down to sound.

00:57The real one describes itself as having superior sound performance.

01:00And then the fake has shocking overweight bass.

01:03Not gonna lie, I love it when my bass weighs too much.

01:08Whoa, that's sick.

01:10Okay, so this is the real one.

01:11It sounds very punchy.

01:13It's got plenty of bass.

01:14Not the clearest speaker I've ever heard.

01:16I'd give it like a 7 out of 10.

01:18And then there's a whole load of lighting effects

01:19that you can cycle through like this.

01:21They're sophisticated.

01:22So now the fake, which I just found out two minutes ago,

01:25has a battery inside.

01:26So it doesn't need to be plugged in like the real one does.

01:29So is it better?

01:38What?

01:39It sounds just as clear.

01:40It's just as bassy.

01:42And it's like louder.

01:44The lighting's brighter.

01:45How does this happen?

01:47Does it still have the lighting modes?

01:49Yes.

01:50Oh my God.

01:50They're like way braver with the colors it uses, but it's just more fun.

01:54And these are actually syncing to the music that's playing.

01:57So given that this was literally a quarter of the price of this speaker,

02:00that is an easy point to the fakes.

02:04What about the smartphone?

02:05So this is what the real Samsung flagship phone unboxing experience is like.

02:09And the first thing to note about this fake is how it's kind of better.

02:15How even though the Samsung style box doesn't have space for accessories,

02:19they've actually gone as far as to send them separately.

02:22A very official looking fast charger and then a standard squishy clear case.

02:26And then the box itself.

02:27It's got some outer plastic that the real doesn't, but the rest of it is so faithfully recreated that

02:33I can't see how the vast majority of people would ever know any different.

02:37So externally, I actually think I prefer the fake.

02:40It's properly black as opposed to this weird black silver hybrid that makes it look like this

02:45back plate is a spare part.

02:47I'm really curious about this fake super fast charger.

02:50So if we plug the real charger into a fast charging phone, it's hovering around 20 watts of power.

02:57Fine.

02:57So if we plug in the fake charger, that is giving us also 20 watts on the dot.

03:03Oh, it starts with the official Samsung wallpaper, which is also animated.

03:07I've never seen that before on a fake.

03:09The user interface as well is like shockingly spot on.

03:12It genuinely feels like it's using screenshots of official Samsung icons.

03:16And obviously this is not a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra screen, but it's not bad at all.

03:22So they've kind of recreated Samsung's camera user interface too.

03:25They call photo picture.

03:27And that's all you need to know.

03:32That sound effect kills me.

03:33Do you know what?

03:33The detail is actually not a million miles away.

03:35It's just everything else.

03:37It's making me realize how much difference it makes just having good skin tones.

03:40Oh wait, the website for this fake actually says

03:43show 64 megapixel, really 8 megapixel.

03:47How incredibly self-aware are them?

03:49Actually curious, does the S Pen work?

03:52Oh, no way.

03:53It's actually got S Note.

03:55It even tells me my pen is on 100% battery.

03:57It's not as bad as you'd expect it to be.

04:00There's a tiny bit of lag, but actually still very usable as a drawing pad.

04:04I was not expecting that.

04:05They've actually semi-recreated like every single one of Samsung's features,

04:09even things like Smart Select.

04:10So you can take customized screenshots.

04:13What if you're a power user?

04:14Let's play a game.

04:15Let's try some Angry Birds.

04:16The storage speed here is like appallingly slow.

04:20I actually can't believe how slow this is loading.

04:23It's incredible how the phone seems so okay when you're on the home screen.

04:26And then just how quickly it falls apart when you try and do something.

04:29They've clearly put $300 worth of effort into this phone,

04:32but they've put it all into just trying to recreate something that's better

04:35without actually making it better.

04:37Oh yeah, they did also say on the website that this fake has a 6,800 mAh battery.

04:42The real is only 5,000.

04:43So just because of how insane that sounds,

04:46let's leave these both running the game and come back later to check on battery life.

04:50Now we've seen tons of fake speakers and fake phones in our time,

04:53but while researching for this video, I've also found a few surprises.

04:57So this is the $350 real Dyson V8 Absolute vacuum cleaner.

05:02And this is the very clearly inspired by it $120 VacTech Pro.

05:10I mean, it's not like the Dyson was a particularly fancy unboxing,

05:12but this is still lower tier for sure.

05:15Oh no, no, a knife, which was not a knockoff.

05:20A few moments later.

05:22Anyways, still got tons of pieces and attachments in here,

05:25which is very much a Dyson thing to do.

05:27And then this is the main body of the vacuum.

05:30This is a little bit crazy.

05:32They've copied everything down to like,

05:34even the position of all the buttons and the catches.

05:37Even the color of the orange tube here,

05:39feels like it has been specifically color matched to Dyson's.

05:43And I'm not actually sure that's a complaint,

05:45because it feels exactly the same quality.

05:48Everything that's plastic here is also plastic here.

05:51This really is like the most egregious example of not claiming to be the brand,

05:56but absolutely trying to be mistaken for them.

05:58Even the way they've made the thing lean in the same direction as Dyson on their product page,

06:02and then surrounding it with even more images of accessories to make it look even better.

06:07Hey, if it sucks just as well, then I'm not complaining for spending a third of the money.

06:11So, black rice, got crumbs, and then it's hair.

06:20Don't ask.

06:21Three, two, one, go!

06:24Oh, yeah.

06:27No way.

06:31Well, that is every bit as easy as I expected.

06:33I would actually say there's a pretty clear winner here.

06:46And it's not the Dyson.

06:47It just glided so smooth.

06:49And one stroke was picking up every single layer of dirt.

06:51Whereas in some cases, like with the hair,

06:53the Dyson was actually rubbing it further in.

06:55So I guess that's a clean sweep.

06:59Two, one, to the fakes.

07:01Now, just like the Dyson, the $100 Amazon Ring doorbell is another

07:05absolute staple that you would expect to see in a high-end smart home.

07:12But what if you just wanted to be frugal?

07:13Or what if your grandma got confused and accidentally bought the $30 video doorbell,

07:18wireless doorbell, smart Wi-Fi camera door, phone intercom with motion detection,

07:23waterproof for home security?

07:27Well, both of them are fully set up here.

07:29And brownie points already for the fake,

07:30for actually including the little speaker that will go off when the bell is rung.

07:34Or ding-dong, as they've called it.

07:36Which you have to buy separately for the ring.

07:38So let's go up one floor.

07:40So we've got both live feeds loaded up now.

07:42The fake did say that it had a wider field of view than the original.

07:45That's just a lie.

07:47The Amazon Ring can see about two times what the fake can.

07:49Which means, let's say you have a burglar approaching.

07:52It's so much easier to see them on the Amazon Ring.

07:54And the frame rate of this fake doorbell's recording is absolutely atrocious.

07:59I can see like one frame of him creeping across.

08:01So I mean, if you could only pick one of these as your main tool for surveillance,

08:05you don't want it to be this one.

08:06It's a real shame for the fake.

08:08Because the website did say that you can have a long and barrier-free distance.

08:13With super penetration.

08:16That is a disaster of a webpage.

08:18And a product.

08:19Tutu.

08:20Okay, so phones have been on for an hour.

08:23So the real Galaxy S25 Ultra is on 86%.

08:26The fake is on...

08:29What? 32?

08:31That's worse than my like lowest possible expectations.

08:34Okay, there's one final thing I think we should test for these phones.

08:37And we can do it with our next product.

08:39So this is a fake mini wearable camera.

08:42It's $50 and very clearly copied off of the Go cameras from Insta360.

08:47And then this is the real Insta360.

08:49And actually the next generation of it, the Go Ultra, our sponsor.

08:54Which is now a square instead of pill shaped.

08:59So here's what I want to do.

09:00I want to drop test both of these phones.

09:02To find out if all that investment into materials that we see phone companies talking about every

09:06single year actually makes any difference at all when it comes to it.

09:09But then the fake phone drop is going to be recorded on the fake Insta360 camera.

09:12Which is completely hands-free.

09:13Because just like Insta360, you also get this magnetic necklace here.

09:17Three, two, one.

09:22There's a very bad sound.

09:23The phone is actually functioning completely fine.

09:26The screen is 100% intact.

09:27It's just one corner has been completely pulverized.

09:31That is not a bad showing from the fake department.

09:34The footage is absolutely terrible.

09:36It's so grainy and needs like 100 times more stabilization.

09:40I guess this is kind of the level of engineering you expect for $50.

09:43So what about the real phone?

09:44Which we're going to record with the real camera.

09:46Oh, this is cool.

09:47So the magnetic pendant is now adjustable.

09:50So that you can pick the angle that you want the camera to shoot at.

09:53But also you can just mount this camera any way you can think of.

09:56I could clip it to a railing.

09:58I could dangle it from a net.

09:59I can hold it using the action pod that comes with it to turn it into a full-size action camera.

10:03And it's also got a magnet inside.

10:05So I could also just do that.

10:08So let's record this phone drop using it.

10:10And we can do this in 4K 60 frames per second with now a 221% larger sensor than last gen.

10:16So almost definitely a bigger sensor than the one in your phone,

10:19which is kind of insane considering the thing is like 53 grams.

10:23Okay, three, two, one.

10:29Okay, you know what?

10:30Fair play Samsung.

10:32Significantly less damage to the exterior.

10:34And absolutely zero damage to the usability of the phone.

10:37And link below to get one of these Go Ultras.

10:39It has suddenly turned horrible and dark, but it's doing surprisingly well considering.

10:44And first 30 purchasers also get a free extra 256 gig SD card.

10:49Now this is one that I'm interested in on a very personal level.

10:53So Dyson, as well as vacuum cleaners, is also pretty well known for their high-end

10:57bladeless fan and air purifiers.

10:59Like this one for $750.

11:04We use a Dyson in our bedroom every day.

11:09So I'm just super curious.

11:10What if you spent just $174 on a bladeless fan from AliExpress?

11:15So the packaging is very functional.

11:18Nothing more than it needs to be.

11:19Just a bunch of foam and the product.

11:22Oh, wow.

11:23This really, really looks like a Dyson.

11:25They've even got the signature Dyson colors too.

11:29Right.

11:30So just like the speaker situation, the real is about 15% bigger again than the fake.

11:36There doesn't feel like any significant quality differences between the two.

11:39Pretty much everything's plastic here, but then pretty much everything's plastic here too.

11:44The only thing is really the remote.

11:46Like the real Dyson is much swankier and magnetically snaps to the top compared to...

11:52Oh, whatever this is.

11:54Need to see how well each one blows.

11:55Yeah, boy.

11:57Mildly refreshing.

11:59Six out of ten.

12:00Okay.

12:01The fake.

12:01It's louder, but there's more air and the air is colder.

12:09Eight out of ten.

12:10But the real test is going to be purification.

12:13So let's start with the real one, which is on max suction power right now.

12:16So let's see how it handles this.

12:18It's getting kind of overwhelmed in there.

12:20You can still see the thing though, which implies it is sucking.

12:22It's actually gone and done it.

12:24I would actually say that is 100% clean.

12:26A little bit of staining down here, but that's just because that was where the smoke bomb was shooting.

12:30The actual air inside of there is pristine.

12:33Right.

12:33Same test with the fake.

12:34Bomb me.

12:37This one's also on maximum suction right now.

12:39It feels like it's drowning in it a little bit more than the real Dyson was.

12:43I am under the water.

12:45Just hope it's okay.

12:46I can see the blueness starting to thin a little bit.

12:48Even if this takes a tiny bit longer than the Dyson, if it still manages to completely clear all that pollution,

12:53then paying like four times the money doesn't feel like it makes a lot of sense at all.

12:58That is actually pretty shocking, to be honest.

13:02It's like both surprising because of how much more affordable it is and also not surprising.

13:07Because if it has good air intake and it has a full-size HEPA filter, then of course it's going to be able to clear it.

13:12It feels like the moral of the story is starting to become if the product's functionality is simple,

13:17then it's much more replicatable by a much more affordable fake alternative.

13:21Now Philips Hue feel like they have a bit of a monopoly when it comes to RGB lighting in the smart home.

13:26And they deserve it.

13:27They were the first company to actually popularize the idea of controlling your smart bulbs with your phone.

13:32So this is their Signi floor lamp.

13:35And then this is the floor lamp 2 from Govy, which I wouldn't exactly call it fake,

13:40but there is no doubt in my mind that Govy is at least somewhat inspired by Philips.

13:44They pretty much have a one-to-one equivalent offering for every Philips product.

13:48Hmm, interestingly, while the Philips comes fully assembled, this is a bit more of a DIY project.

13:54I guess that is one way to save, cut the shipping costs in half.

13:57So this is Philips, this is Govy.

13:59Let's start with a brightness test.

14:01Make the lights bright white.

14:06Okay, Philips responded a little faster, but that looks brighter to me, the Govy.

14:11Both lights are completely smart home compatible, so I can also say make the lights green.

14:18And actually, in that instance, the Govy responded faster, so it doesn't feel like there's anything in it.

14:24This actually feels like a little bit of a no-brainer here, because this thing is a third of the price.

14:29The base lights up, which I just think is such a cool extra.

14:32Then there's also a remote that magnetically attaches onto it in case you don't want to fiddle around with the app,

14:37or you don't have it installed on your phone.

14:39But that's the good point, actually.

14:40What are the apps like?

14:41So the Philips app is, I would say, very premium, and to be fair, also quite flexible.

14:47Like, I can pick any color I want to on here, and it responds almost immediately.

14:50We've got every different temperature of white on here.

14:53Tons of different effects, and they're not all static.

14:56Some of them have animations tied to them, too, that look like they're specifically designed for this floor lamp.

15:00So what about the Govy app?

15:02So we go into floor lamp.

15:03Oh, my God.

15:04It's a slight sensory overload.

15:06Okay, so you have the same kinds of options in terms of selecting specific colors.

15:10Then you've got scenes like sunset.

15:13Oh, wow.

15:13That's really nice.

15:14And then rainbow.

15:16Look at that.

15:17Do you see how it animates from the bottom up?

15:19Music.

15:21Oh, wow.

15:22Wait, so this is using presumably the microphone in the phone to pick up my voice,

15:28and is syncing to that quite responsively.

15:30That would actually be such a cool way to like add ambience to a party.

15:34Just have a couple of these in the corner.

15:35They've even got an option here called finger sketch,

15:38which, if that is what I think it is, means you can effectively draw on exactly the LEDs

15:44that you want to be lit, and in exactly what color you want those LEDs to be lit in.

15:49And then even the base down here, I can tweak from my phone one LED at a time.

15:54So if I wanted to do blue mixed in with white, and it's animating.

15:58Oh, my God.

15:59I'm having a nerdgasm, bear with me.

16:01Okay, that's just like no competition at all.

16:04Point to the fakes.

16:05The cost of buying official gaming controllers can really rack up.

16:09Like a basic Xbox controller.

16:11$65.

16:12You want four of them?

16:13That's $260.

16:14You can nearly buy a console for that much.

16:16So what if you spent just $25?

16:19Wow, this actually looks like the exact same box.

16:22If you just made it slightly worse from every single angle.

16:25How do all of these products look like there's some sort of

16:27internal requirement to sit on them before shipping them out?

16:30So when you look at both of these controllers, it's very obvious which one's which.

16:37Because the fake one has a home button instead of the Xbox button on the real one.

16:41But apart from that one detail, they look absolutely identical.

16:48Right, so it's got the grips on the back.

16:50It's got a nice weight to it.

16:52Really soft triggers.

16:54Nice joysticks.

16:55Let's try the other one.

16:56Oh my god.

17:00It feels the exact same.

17:01What the hell?

17:02Also really nice joysticks.

17:04No, come on.

17:09What the hell?

17:10Whichever one of these is the fake,

17:11they have done a masterful job at not making it feel like one.

17:14The D-pad also feels very responsive.

17:18This one feels a little bit more like it's just got four buttons, one in each direction.

17:22So this one's got to be the fake?

17:27Goodness sake, this is such a clear win for the fake.

17:30And it's just as responsive.

17:31It has USB-C charging.

17:33It's got replaceable batteries.

17:34They even both have rumble and it feels the same.

17:37You're not missing anything.

17:39Tell you what though, I have absolutely no idea what to expect for this.

17:42So this is Apple's official 11-inch iPad Pro.

17:51And this is a $160 fake.

17:54Wow.

17:55This is very interesting.

17:56Because, well first of all, it's easily one of the most convincing fake boxes we've seen.

18:00But also, while they still have the new iPad imagery and packaging style,

18:04they've actually gone as far as to specifically make the box thicker than Apple's.

18:08I assume to fit more inside.

18:10Apparently we have one terabyte of storage here.

18:12If that's true, this thing can instantly win Hall of Fame status, no questions asked.

18:16And even the Apple style peels.

18:19Not quite there, but they tried.

18:22And then iPad on top.

18:24There's a cable here.

18:26And then I feel like I'm in one of those TikToks where someone's telling me that Apple's been

18:30secretly hiding accessories in a separate compartment in the box.

18:33Oh, it's not a charger.

18:34This is a case.

18:36A proper folio case.

18:39Now, moment of truth.

18:44They've done a very good job at making sure it looks like the iPad.

18:48What they haven't quite kept up with is how thin the iPad is and how light it is.

18:52I would say this is about 1.8 times chunkier.

18:56The fake iPad actually has a slightly different aspect ratio to the real iPad.

19:01And I assume because this is a more conventional aspect ratio,

19:04so they can get this screen made cheaper.

19:06They've even remade the entire add new wallpaper page.

19:09But like, you can't actually click on anything.

19:12And then just like the iPad, you can pull down from the top right to get the control center.

19:16But it's like every single animation has been completely stripped.

19:19And half of them don't even work.

19:21Like this is the brightness slider going up and down, which it's animating,

19:24but it's just not doing.

19:26I guess the real question is, does it still allow you to do

19:28what most people would use their iPads for?

19:30To watch videos?

19:32Not really.

19:33It's a 720p resolution and not a great one.

19:37And I guess while it is vastly cheaper than a top-end iPad Pro,

19:41it's not actually that much cheaper than just a basic iPad.

19:45And that still has a far better viewing experience than this.

19:47Oh yeah, we need to see how much storage we're actually getting here.

19:50So iPad storage, no.

19:52It says 161 gigabytes of one terabyte used.

19:56I can't have used 161 gigabytes.

19:58I haven't installed anything.

20:00I've installed one app and it's YouTube.

20:02Okay.

20:03So I've run an actual storage analyzer app.

20:05And sure enough, 32 gigabytes of which nine gigabytes is used.

20:10The layers of deception here are insane.

20:12So yeah, just like the...

20:16I thought I full-sended that.

20:18Just like the phones, don't buy fake tablets.

20:20Bit of a waste of money.

20:22And now we're on the subject of Apple products, AirPods Max,

20:25which are a very nice looking pair of headphones for sure.

20:28I still haven't managed to get over their $549 price

20:32or the fact that they haven't actually upgraded the product since 2020.

20:36Hmm.

20:36Also one of the few times where it doesn't feel like Apple has nailed down

20:39the slickest unboxing and first impressions experience.

20:48Then these are the $60 AirWatch headphones,

20:51which feel like they're shooting for the worst first impressions experience.

20:56Genuinely looks like someone did the SIT test about 50 times on this one.

21:01Oh no.

21:02That wasn't good.

21:03Well, I guess that kind of does our unboxing for us.

21:05The AirWatch website is very intriguing.

21:11Experience music like never before.

21:13Superior noise cancellation.

21:15They are just the best headphones I've ever owned.

21:16He's got to be talking about the real AirPods, right?

21:19And is his name even Jacob?

21:20Oh, it's just so unbelievably sus.

21:22Well, let's see what the fuss is about then.

21:25So these are the fakes.

21:26They come in a, yeah, definitely not leather case.

21:30Very interesting.

21:31And then these are the reels, which come in a slightly nicer,

21:34but still very strange case for an Apple product, honestly.

21:37The interesting thing about this is never have I seen a fake

21:40that looks so similar to the real, but feels so different at the same time.

21:44Like these cushions feel absolutely terrible.

21:46The material looks metallic, but I assure you it is not.

21:50This is like as cheap as plastic gets.

21:52It's like creaking as I put it over my head.

21:56Are you freaking kidding me?

21:57The cups don't go around my ears because they are pointing diagonally outwards.

22:02I've never had a pair of headphones do that.

22:04And it just completely ruins the seal that you would normally get.

22:07So this is what the real sounds like.

22:09And it's like very good, but nothing special.

22:14Then the fakes.

22:16Oh man, it's actually such a shame because sound quality wise,

22:20no complaints at all.

22:22I just can't with these elephant ears.

22:24So this one is a win to AirPods Max.

22:28That's five points each.

22:29It's a draw between real and fake.

22:32Well, it's not a draw though.

22:33It's the best fake product of the video.

22:36It's got to be the Govee floor lamp.

22:38The lamp itself ain't gonna fit.

22:40So this is how we commemorate.

22:42Congratulations, Govee.
