Identify a Genuine/Original Versus a Fake/Cloned Samsung Galaxy Phone

How can I prove that my Sony Xperia z5 is original?

Hello, I would like you to show me a way to show that my Sony Xperia z5 is an original smartphone?

Do a version check in About Phone. You will see Lollipop or Marshmallow installed so should state 5.1.1 or higher, but the clones run Kitkat 4.4.2 or lower. The clone also only has a 5-inch screen and only one speaker is functional. The camera quality is also extremely poor. The logo will be distorted as well.

The original Sony Xperia Z5 has a 23-megapixel camera with autofocus. It is waterproof to a point, and you can take it in the shower or water while swimming as long as you wipe off the phone when you get out. There is also a fingerprint function on the Power/Sleep button on the side. It also records in 4K video. It is completely wrapped in aluminum with a frosted glass back cover.
