China is full of interesting smartphones and we have got some of the finest flagships in the market from this country. However, there’s another side to the Chinese market, which is also quite popular internationally, and it’s the Chinese smartphone clone market. While big brands like Huawei, Xiaomi and OPPO are set to create its own identity with special specs and features distinguishing its phones from international brands, there are some phones which imitate these big brands.

OPPO is huge in China at the moment and the company seems to be doing very well in the market. So, there’s no surprise that China has a number of OPPO clones. One of the recent clones we managed to spot is actually quite unique. If you loved Huawei P9’s design but are desperate to get OPPO’s branding on the back, here’s something for you.

This is what an OPPO branded Huawei P9 would look like, and we may even call it the OPPO P9. And guess what! There’s the Leica certification at the back as well. So, if Huawei and OPPO had an ugly baby, it would probably look like this. I mean, the build quality sucks for sure, look at the cracks on the back. Plus, the top band looks like a sticker, where we can see the dual cameras. Needless to say, the built quality is less than impressive. But you do get 4G+ VoLTE, or so it says!

No ideas about the pricing of the device though, but it surely will be super cheap. We have seen many clones that actually have pretty good built quality (unlike this one) and it’s very easy to mistake a clone for the real one. So, if you are ever in China looking for a smartphone, make sure to check the product before purchase and stick to the popular stores in the area.

There was a time when China was known for its clones. Usually, these clones looked very similar to the original model, however, when it came to the build quality and performance, they were nowhere near the original ones. But now, things are different, and the manufacturers of these clones have become smarter and more skilled.

iPhone is still the most popular brand for clones and the newly launched iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have already been cloned by local manufacturers in China. And the iPhone 7 Plus clone spotted in China is surprisingly very well built and very close to the real iPhone.

The design of these clones is identical to the real iPhone 7 Plus, including the unique antenna bands and the dual camera setup at the back. Not only that, they also feel quite similar to the original iPhone model. Even the software interface is an immitation of iOS 10, so there is a good chance that you might get confused for a second. However, the Touch ID on board seems to be just for show and do not work. Even the general performance of the iPhone 7 Plus Clone, including its camera is no way near that of the original iPhone 7 Plus model but that is to be expected.

So, check out the images below and the video above and guess which one’s real and which one’s a clone.

(ANSWER: Black is the real iPhone 7 Plus. The one in Rose Gold is an iPhone 7 Plus Clone.)

The post Watch Out: This iPhone 7 Plus Clone From China Looks Like The Real Deal! appeared first on Gizmochina.

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus should be announced sometime around September this year and the rumors and leaks about these two devices have continued to come in the past few months. We already have a good idea of how the phone will end up looking thanks to the recently leaked renders, but if you want to see the design in the flesh, you will have to wait till the official announcement. Or do you?

China has been the home to the best iPhone clones, and every year we have seen companies take inspiration from Apple’s flagship phone. While the release of the new iPhone 7 Plus is still a few months away, that didn’t stop a Chinese firm from making the first iPhone 7 Plus clone we have seen.

The phone, which you can see in the pictures above, reveals a strikingly similar design as the one we have seen in the previous renders. So, you have dual cameras on the top left corner as well as the new antenna design that hides the ugly lines usually seen on  the back panel of metal phones. And then, there’s the good old Apple logo in the middle. Finally, there are the words, “Designed by TAIWAN, Made in CHINA”.

As you can see, this iPhone 7 clone even comes in your favorite Rose Gold color. But before you get too excited, this is just a clone! We doubt whether the dual cameras on the back are even real. Also, it most likely is running some version of Android with its UI designed to look like iOS.

Yes! You heard it right the Goophone I5 world’s most anticipated iPhone 5 clone… announced before the iPhone 5, but ironically  it should release ,according to their website page (goophone.hk), this month from the 12-14. Let’s hope they are right as we have been waiting months for this android phone. The Goophone I5 is available for pre-order at www.android-sale.com for 249.99$ US a cheap price if you compare it to the actual iPhone 5 with a price tag of 699.99$US

The post Goophone I5 officially announced for release from 12.12 to 12.14 appeared first on Gizmochina.

It has a standard dual-core MT6577 processor(like most of the other clones) 512mb of ram with a front camera of… 1.3mp and rear of 8mp! The screen isn’t retina, is is a plain old 4 inch FWVGA 854 x 480 display.

The down of this model is that it doesn’t use a Lighting Cable like the Zophone/Goophone I5

Here is a review, gameplay of the phone… Resistance test to come…

The post Kuphone I5… Again another iPhone 5 knock-off! appeared first on Gizmochina.

So you might of heard of Zophone for the excellent iPhone 5 clone… But now they are back with a clone to the iPhone 5 worst enemy… a clone to the Samsung Galaxy S3.

The S9 comes with different memory sizes, 8gb, 16gb as well as 32gb. It is boosting a Quad-Core Exynos 4212 Cpu with cortex ArmV7 with a clocked speed of 1.4ghz

It has a 4.8″ AMOLED screen with 1280*720 resolution and a PowerVR SGX531 gpu. Which is running on the beautiful Android 4.1.1 OS.

It is available with Marble White color as well as Pebble Blue. It has a 8mp camera with led flash, a 0.3 mp front camera, 4Gb of rom and 512mb of ram upgradable to 1gb.

Several users think that the informations could be as fake as the phone. Because in the video below, at 1:50min, the ram is 512mb when the pictures below has 1gb. What is also fishy is that usually this CPU has Mali GPU but below is has PowerVR which usually means Mediatek CPU…

It has the same booting screen as the original S3

Here are more pictures…

And here is a specification review of the phone with pros and cons:
