7 How to Avoid Counterfeiting and Overpayment: 5 Rules

Xiaomi’s tablet market is teeming with fakes and gray devices that can be not only less productive, but also dangerous (such as those with uncertified batteries).

1. Check the IMEI. Dial *#06# - if the number doesn't match what's on the box, it's a fake.
2. Look at the firmware. In the original tablets for Russia in Settings → About the phone should be specified region Russia.
3. Look at the box. The original package has a hologram, a serial number, and a Rosest sign.
4. Don't take "too good to be true." If the Redmi Pad Pro sells for 15,000 ₽ (at an average price of 30,000 ₽), it's a scam.
5. Buy from trusted sellers. On marketplaces, choose only official Xiaomi partners.

In 2026, the number of cases of selling “overstitched” Xiaomi tablets under the guise of new ones increased. Fraudsters buy used devices in China, change their firmware to Russian and sell as new. Check the date of the first inclusion in Settings → About the phone → Condition – if the tablet has already been used, this is a reason to return.
