Define 'fake'... do they work? is the schematic (not just the layout) actually different?

define fake:
adjective
not genuine; imitation or counterfeit.

yes they work but a fake Nike Shoe can be used for walking and will fit my feet. that doesn't mean they are real nike's.

This product misses components in comparison with the 'real' esp-12E ( so cheaper) and is less stable then the original product. there have been reports these 'fake' versions also ship with 4Mbit flash instead of 32Mbit.
