How to Spot Fake vs Original Phone Accessories in Kenya

In today’s market, it’s easy to be tricked by a flashy phone accessory that looks real—but performs poorly. From chargers that overheat to headphones with terrible sound, fake accessories are everywhere. Worse, they can damage your phone or become a safety risk.

At Licast Accessories, we care about quality. That’s why we’re here to help you spot the difference between fake and original phone accessories—and protect your hard-earned money.


🚩 1. Check the Packaging

Original accessories usually come in neat, sealed, well-labeled packaging. You’ll find:

  • Clear branding
  • Correct spelling and product info
  • Model number and safety warnings

Fake ones often have poor printing, generic boxes, or lack proper labeling.


🔌 2. Look at the Build Quality

  • Original chargers, cables, and cases feel strong, balanced, and smooth.
  • Fake ones may be unusually light, feel cheap, or have rough edges.

If the product feels “off” or breaks easily—it’s likely fake.


🔋 3. Check Charging Speed and Performance

An original charger or power bank will charge your phone at a stable and safe speed. Fakes may:

  • Heat up too much
  • Charge slowly
  • Fail to connect consistently

This could damage your battery in the long term.


🎧 4. Listen for Audio Quality

Buying headphones or earbuds? Test the sound clarity and bass. Originals deliver clean, balanced sound.

Fake ones often have:

  • Distorted bass
  • Volume imbalance
  • Weak connections

At Licast, we test all audio accessories before we sell.
