Okay, so yesterday, I went to the store to find a new pair of Galaxy Buds pro. I found one in a small retail store. They claimed that it's "Original" and costs 165$..
But I felt a little bit suspicious about the store ( a small store that only sells used phones). I usually buy from trusted and well known stores, but they told me the Galaxy Buds Pro are out of stock and will take two weeks until they restock them. So I had only one choice actually, that choice is to buy from that small retail store.😕🤷

I took some pictures when I was in that store.

I need someone to help me and tell if those earbuds are **bleep** or clone🙏

Update: I can't believe Samsung bleeped me for saying "Fayke" (I wrote it incorrectly so they won't bleep it again, lol)😳😅

You're right, the one in the store is almost identical to the one you have (90% maybe). I wonder if the store is selling me the original or the clone one☹

I suggested you to wait and buy from Authorized shop, because cloning these days become like eating peace of cake 😅

Maybe I will wait ... I'm still surprised Samsung and Apple Didn't press charges against those companies who clone their products 🙁.
Sony and Nintendo does press charges on everyone who clone them 😂

They do know, they just don't want to invest alot of money in chasing and suing them . It's a pretty exhausting process to be honest... anything that involves the court is exhausting...
But Apple made a clever move, they made sure that clone Airpods can not be recognized by the itunes. This helped a lot of Apple users to identify which Airpods are the original and which are not.
But unfortunately, Samsung didn't made a feature or an app that can recognize the original from the clone.

Oh no 😢
I'm so sorry to hear that...
What was the reason your ears got infected? Did the infection happened the first day of using the Buds Pro?
I have actually considered the Buds 2, but many reviews indicated that the ANC (Active Noise Cancelation) is not as effective as the one in the Galaxy Buds Pro.
