Goophone's new clone: an exact replica of Samsung Note 4 — Goophone’s new clone: an exact replica of Samsung Note 4

A couple of weeks away from the official launch of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at this year’s IFA in Berlin (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin, or “Berlin Radio Show”), GooPhone has already announced an exact replica of this device. To create the Note 4 clone, GooPhone has used image leaks, dimensions and other details available of the original model as source.

This won’t be the first time that GooPhone launches a replica even before the original model has been released. The same happened with the i6 GooPhone, a clone of the already unavailable iPhone 6 released on the 1st of August, and with GooPhone S5, a clone of Samsumg Galaxy S5. So far, GooPhone has proven to do an excellent job replicating the features of other models.

The GooPhone’s new mobile phone will feature a 5.7-inch FullHD a Mediatek MT6592 processor, eight-core 1.7 GHz, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. The front and rear cameras will have, respectively, a resolution of 13 and 5 megapixels. The internal memory of this clone will be expandable via an microSD, which most probably won’t be possible in the original Samsung Galaxy Note 4. GooPhone’s new clone will use Android 4.4 (KitKat) as operative system, will be able to hold two SIM cards, and will be powered by a 3200 mAh battery.

Both the original Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the replica from GooPhone will go on sale next 15th of September. The retail price of this phone will be, of course, much lower than that of the original, although the final retail price is still unknown. One thing is sure, though, the cost will not be superior than 380 euros, about 500 US dollars.

This comparison of three different smartphones is intended to help consumers make the right choice for their respective needs when choosing their next cell phone. Obviously everyone wants to get the most for their time and money, and not everyone has the time to research dozens of different phone models. So we will go over some of the key similarities and differences between these three popular models.

Key features of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Model

We will start off with the current most popular Sony model; the Xperia Z1 Compact. This phone is equipped with a high quality Qualcomm 2.2GHz quad-core processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processor and a 4.3 inch display with a max resolution of 1280 x 720. This model is equipped with two cameras, front and back for the user’s convenience when taking photos or video chatting. Both cameras are capable of recording in HD. The standard camera has 20.7 MP; whereas the front facing camera only has 2 MP. The battery for the Xperia Z1 Compact has a max life of 600 hours while it is in standby mode, and 18 hours of actual talk time. It also comes standard with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. It’s equipped with a microSD card slot, in case you need more storage capacity. The Z1 Compact smartphone comes with the Google Android Jelly Bean operating system.

Key Features of the Oppo N1 Mini Model

The Oppo N1 Mini is also equipped with a high quality Qualcomm processor; however it only has a processing speed of 1.6 GHz; .1 less than the Z1 Compact model. It is also equipped with 16 GB of internal storage, 2 GB of RAM and a 2140 mAh battery. The display on this model is a little more impressive than the other two models, at 5 inches with a max resolution of 1280 x 720. The camera on this smartphone model has 13 MP and comes standard with auto focus and dual LED flash. The Oppo N1 Mini model comes with the Google Android Jelly Bean 4.3 operating system. This model is a little on the chunky side; weighing in at 150 grams; it is considerably heavier than the other two models.

Key Features of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Model

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini; like the other two models we are comparing; utilizes a high quality Qualcomm processor. Its’ 1.7 GHz dual-core processor is combined with 1.5 GB of RAM; all of which is lower quality than the specs on the Z1 Compact. This model is also equipped with 8 GB of internal memory; which can be expanded to 64 GB with the use of a microSD card. The display size is the same as the display on the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact; however it has a considerably lower resolution quality at only 960 x 540. It has two cameras, back and front. The front facing camera has 1.9 MP, and the rear camera has 8 MP. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini comes with the Google Android Jelly Bean 4.3 operating system, and the battery for this device is able to withstand 300 hours of standby, or 12 hours of actual talk time. The device is light in contract to the other two models.

Conclusion

Over all, these three phones are each impressive in their own way. Your choice must be based upon your own personal storage capacity and processing power requirements. The Oppo N1 Mini and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini have the larger displays. However the Oppo N1 is rather heavy, and the S4 Mini has lower resolution. The Z1 Compact model is nice and light, but has the most ungainly camera. The Oppo N1 Mini is priced at roughly $440; just ahead of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact model; which comes in at around $420. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini comes in at roughly $290; considerably cheaper than the others.

Display

Now that there is an actual competitive market for QHD smartphone screens that are available to the public, it is high time that we took a look at the best of the best. Today I’ll be comparing two different sets; the Oppo Find 7 and the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro. Both of these devices provide an IPS QHD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440.The Lenovo Vibe Z2 has a lower pixel density than the Oppo Find 7; which is due to the difference in screen size. The Vibe Z2 has a 6 inch display, while the Find 7 has a slightly smaller screen, at 5.5 inches. Obviously the latter will have somewhat better screen resolution. Along with its’ larger screen, the Vibe Z2 is also equipped with a larger battery; 4000mAh compared to the Find 7’s 3000mAh unit. Both handsets have a lot of followers who swear by them; neither is likely to disappoint consumers.

Processor and Memory

When it comes to processors and memory capabilities; these two devices are nearly identical. Both of these smartphones are equipped with a quad-core 2.5GHz 801 (Oppo first featured this processor in their Flagship, Lenovo followed suit with their K920 model). Both devices are also equipped with 3GB of RAM.

Storage

The storage capacity differences between these two smartphones are rather significant. While both phones come standard with 32GB of internal storage, the Oppo Find 7 has the bonus feature of possessing a microSD card slot; making it possible to double your overall storage.

Camera

Both the Oppo Find 7 and the Lenovo Vibe Z2 are equipped with 5MP front-facing cameras for easily taking photos of yourself or snapchat. The Oppo Find 7 is equipped with a BSI sensor, dual LED flash and a 13MP snapper located on the back side. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 is equipped with a slightly better camera; a 16MP with OIS and a dual LED flash.

Design and Features

The Oppo Find 7 has a titanium alloy frame and removable/chargeable battery. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 is a good looking compact metal frame build. The Vibe Z2 is running KitKat 4.4.2; which is one of the reasons it is such a popular attractive model. It is also equipped with dual-SIM. The Find 7 model is not equipped with either. It does however come standard with an Ultra-HD feature, which allows users to take 50MP pics.

Final Evaluation

In the end, obviously it all comes down to features and affordability. For those with abnormally high storage capacity requirements for their devices, the Oppo Find 7 is probably the best choice. If you’re more concerned about having the largest display possible, the Lenovo Vibe Z2 is probably the better choice between the two devices. It is in my opinion, the more attractive of the two models as well. Rumored that it will be priced at around $700; the Lenovo Vibe Z2 is only $100 more than the Oppo Find 7; really not a deal breaker for those who really want the larger display.
