This is my first encounter with a fake iPhone. However, it is marketing itself as Phone (the iPhone without the i \ud83d\ude42 ). Anyway, I did a few comparison with a real iPhone and I believe you know the verdict, this fake iPhone sucks!<\/p>\n

\"phone_3\"<\/p>\n

On first look, it seems to be quite “real”. The weight and the glossy back looks quite impressive. However, the screen resolution is a big give away.<\/p>\n

\"phone_1\"<\/p>\n

The best part is that it is trying very hard to make itself “looks” like an iPhone, including the wordings. See below.<\/p>\n

\"phone_2\"<\/p>\n

The wording for a REAL iPhone is “Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China”. The FAKE one reads ” Designed by Tvphone in America Assembled in China”. Haha.. quite innovative. The model are also copied,except that the A1241 becomes A1221.<\/p>\n

When you see the keyboard, you will “faint” as it is so small. However, I must think that it should be alright as it has a stylus.<\/p>\n

\"phone_4\"<\/p>\n

And here is the stylus plus its compartment.<\/p>\n

\"phone_10\"<\/p>\n

\"phone_9\"<\/p>\n

Now, lets take a look at the programs. The calculator looks decent.<\/p>\n

\"phone_6\"<\/p>\n

Don’t expect gyro sensor. It will NOT rotate. Now, lets take a look at the phone pad.<\/p>\n

\"phone_7\"<\/p>\n

Notice that it has Call1 and Call2? That is the only good point about this phone. It is dual-SIM card and both can work concurrently. Nice… for once.<\/p>\n

However, I must again mention. The screen resolution is very bad.<\/p>\n

\"phone_8\"<\/p>\n

If you are still interested in this fake iPhone, I seriously must warn you that the User Experience is almost zero. It is a resistive screen (no multi-touch) and the software is skin deep only. You will see a lot of Chinese character and\u00a0 the games are from NES simulator and they are really NOT worth mentioning.<\/p>\n

What OS? At that point, I just hand over the phone to the person and glad that I am holding on to my HTC Touch HD. Don’t ask me about the price. It is cheap but not worth it.<\/p>\n

See this video and you will know.<\/p>\n
