How Do I Know if a Memory card is original or fake?

Step 1. 'SD Insight' from Google
Play store

Step 2. Insert an SD card into your Android
cell phone. (Note: You may need to
turn off your cell phone to do this).

Step 3. Launch the SD Insight application. In
seconds your SD card information is
displayed in an easy to understand
format on the cell phone's screen.

Step 4. You can see information such as
manufacturer name, date of
manufacture, and the product name
and serial number. Click the Menu
button to see more detailed
information about your memory card.

Step 5. If you have more than one memory
card in your device, you will also be
able to see details for each of the
memory cards.





Step 6. You can also view validation of the
SD Card against its class rating for the
minimum data transfer rate (e.g.
Classes 2, 4, 6 and 10)
