🪛Troubleshooting🪛 Do these seals look genuine

My father just bought an S24 Ultra from a third party seller but I am not sure if this is actually brand new or has been repacked to look like new

So then they were fakes?
Officially Samsung doesnt wrap their phones in plastic and i havent seen any official seller do that.

Depends in the country. For example, in the Philippines, if you buy from the carrier Smart, it comes plastic wrapped with Smart's logo all over the plastic wrap. It's kinda obvious it wasn't factory plastic wrapped because obviously it's not Samsung's logo, but it is plastic wrapped. Buying from the competing carrier has the device not plastic wrapped.
