Hello. I've bought new battery for my Galaxy S4 (i9505 ). However I'm afraid that my new battery may be fake. I attach photos of my old (on the left) and new batteries:

New battery doesn't have NOM and NYCE logos, font of serial number and battery model is different (and they are not in straight line), QR code is smaller. However, weight of both batteries is the same (44 grams), their shape is identical.
Is that fake or just newer Samsung batteries look different?
Original on the left - bought phone on release day
Replacement on right - box is dated 26/11/14 but battery says different
Packaging
Your replacement battery looks simmilar to original one, so do you think my is fake?
//Sorry, unnecessary post.
I've just checked and NFC is fully working. Maybe this battery is orignal, or at least really good fake.

Despite the fact that it only delivers 6% instead of 10% by calculation, it still seems to be a good alternative to the original battery.
In contrast to the Seidio 1600mAh (which is 18% more by calculation), the good news is the battery is sold at half the price on eBay (under US$20 delivered).

Anyone has tried it yourself by far? It looks all right since it's got proper SPB benchmark results, and its price too!

Japod 1500mAh battery
The two batteries were brought to test by Bantam's battery analyzers (sort of like this: http://www.bantamtek.com/products/Checkmaster.htm
And here are the results comparing to each other. Firstly the original TyTN II battery at 1350mAh:
Here's the one for Japod 1500mAh battery:
The pictures speak for themselves!
If you are tired of your battery draining off too rapidly ( Especially when using over clocking software like Pocket hack master and XCpuScalar) then you might consider building your own emergency charge device, like described in the fallowing link:

Enjoy!
Let's remember how odd this will look if you're trying to go on an airplane with a small Altoids tin with batteries in it!
This is really cool. Thanks!
It´s really nice, but for this price for one pice (20$) and the time to build it, it´s cheaper and easier to buy it ready made.
I get it for 10€ incl. shipping and then with four batteries.
If u google htc battery extender it has a bigger longer lasting battery but it has differnt back cover was wondering if it. Looks silly since i cant find no photos so if anyone has any it wud help. Also what u guys think about it
Cheers
Anyone recomend the battery/ wish i new how much bigger and diffferent it wud look
I'm also interested in a bigger battery myself and I found one on ebay at a good price, 13 pounds.
I don't think there will be much difference in thickness. From what I see in the picture it will add around 4 mm.
My main problem with it is my phone is blue and the new cover is only grey.
cant you link the page?

oh no it's orrible...
I was so tired of this **** battery, i took the time meanwhile to do my modification that i had in my mind for so long..
Original battery was about the same in size and capacity as a BL-C4(nokia 6310 battery).
Now it has a HTC One X (3.7VDC 1800mAh 6.66Whr) battery in it.
Here is it:

Lets dent it a bit so it fits (carefully of course)
Works perfectly fits like if its the oem battery
Nice :good:
HOWEVER, i do not recommend you to do the same. As its not so good for a lipo battery to be dent as much as i did, and im not sure if this will be safe. So keep in mind if you do the same, its your own responsibility.
The right is the original. Is the one to the left fake? Speaking of the original, is it still safe to use?

Nothing on the left battery leads me to think it is fake, it just looks like a later production run than the one on the right.
I would think it's safe to use... I would put it in mine without hesitation.
I think it depends on the price you paid.. The original battery still seems to cost more than 20 euros... So everything above 30 I would consider a real one.
The fake batteries match the original one closely these days... Still their capacity is less. You might find out by using some battery tools that deteine the capacity or measure yourself if you can.
