Summary

Counterfeit consumer electronics affect customers and the industry. Using counterfeit batteries, chargers, or other phone accessories is dangerous as there is a real risk or injury or damage to your phone. Counterfeits are often offered on suspicious websites that could put buyers at potential risk of identity theft and fraud.

Genuine batteries comply with corresponding safety and environmental standards, while counterfeit batteries may have significantly less charging capacities, deteriorate quickly, cause a sudden loss of power, or even cause overheating. Furthermore, users of counterfeit phones will not have access to after-sale services that users of genuine phones or accessories benefit from.

That's why Huawei has been working hard to fight against counterfeit products around the world. Our in-house brand protection team has been working closely with global experts to both protect the trusted Huawei brand and safeguard our customer interests. Our initiatives range from investigations and seizures of the counterfeit phones to providing educational training and collaborating with stakeholders like local enforcement authorities, customers, and channel partners.
