The farther Chinese fakes become, the more prevalent they are in our daily world. Chinese factories want to earn as much revenue as possible, so they produce counterfeits of famous brands. The most famous brands in China are Adidas, Nike, Samsung, Play Station, BMW, Jack Daniel's and many others. The Chinese do not want to infringe on the authorship of the trademarks, replacing these trademarks with ones like Abibas, Nice, Sansung, Pop Station, John Daneel and others. Leaving almost nothing different from the original design, but the durability of the products - different, the quality - different, functional - different, absolutely everything is different. The Chinese love to use such brands because consumers are well aware of these brands and it may seem easier to sell them. Buyers, while noticing that this is not an original product, mostly because of the price difference, still buy them because it is a “famous” brand. And the Chinese can offer this brand much cheaper, so manufacturers always sacrifice product quality to save production costs. Which lags far behind the original.


The Chinese produce counterfeits of three types of products: products that are similar to something, but visually distinguishable that it is still a design stolen from someone; products that are identical but have a different logo or no logo at all; products that are meant to be deceived because visually they look the same as the original. Usually, if the third version falls into your hands - I can assure you, you will buy and use such a product until you need to perform upgrades, repair faults or other work on such a device, then it turns out that nothing can be done - it is a counterfeit.


The Launch X-431 Pro is the official product of Launch products, it can be checked on this official Launch Europe office page. The most common Chinese counterfeits are called Launch 5C Pro and other names. If you have any doubts when buying that the product is made by an official manufacturer, you can always check the website of the official representatives. The official representative of Launch products is Launch - a representative office. It is the purchase of Launch products from the dealerships that will guarantee your product. If you buy from a Lithuanian representative office, you can apply for warranty service to Vilnius and Kaunas branches. You will also be able to perform fault repairs or other work related to Launch products in these sections.


It is the Launch X-431 Pro that is the official product released for the European market, and the Launch 5C Pro is a Chinese diagnostic device for the Asian market. By purchasing the Launch X-431 Pro from the official Launch production representative office in Lithuania, the software of the diagnostic device of UAB Baltic Diagnostic Service could be updated throughout Europe. It would not be possible to renew a Chinese clone in Europe. It is unclear if they are being updated at all because the counterfeit software has been rewritten.


Overwritten software causes Chinese counterfeits to crash and therefore functionality is significantly inferior. Another important reason is that if a counterfeit Chinese Launch product breaks down, it would have to be sent to China for repair. Therefore, it is better not to spare money for the official Launch production, because after a while, the money may have to be spent significantly more than it was worth in Chinese counterfeiting. Inferior functionality is not one problem in the whole product. Because Chinese counterfeits are made for the Chinese market, some functions cannot be performed on European cars with counterfeits. For example, the official Launch X-431 Pro diagnostic device will be able to do more computer diagnostics with an Audi car. A Chinese product will only be able to do simpler jobs.


Although the design of these two products is the same. However, several differences can be observed.
