Hi,
I have been using wrovers from a reputable distributor. Yesterday I received some new wrover E from a "not so well known" source. The front is very similar, just the size of the letters is a bit different, but was called strongly my attention is the back. The "reputable" seller boards (picture, left) have a lot of visible vías, while the new boards have much less (picture right). My question is, fake or legit?
Thanks for your comments.
Fake or legit?
Re: Fake or legit?
It should be due to different thickness of silkscreen layer.

Re: Fake or legit?
Looks like a different PCB manuf but the same module. One uses 'open' vias, the other uses plated-over vias. (You can still see where the vias are because they leave slight 'bumps' in the copper.)
Re: Fake or legit?
Yes, it should be legit, and they should be manufactured by different factory.

Thank you all, much appreciated.
