If it correctly reports the model of iPhone, then it's probably genuine. A final check will be if it has the iTunes Store or App Store app and successfully connects.


Note, though, that being genuine doesn't mean that you can use the iPhone. Used iPhones frequently turn up with Activation Lock or are locked to some other country's cell carrier, making them often ususable by the purchaser.
