It seems certain handset makers cloners from the Far East have problems in cloning the LG Prada phone. Or at least the latest Chinese ripoff device we’ve spotted suggests so. First there are awkward (ugly) and sooo not-easy-to-use buttons, which actually involve a learning curve. Then there’s a number of small details that further tells us the process of building this device was conducted without a designer on board. Or he/she was drunk. :)

However, there are some good things about the so called Chinese Prada phone, like gaming. The joypad attached to the device on the image bellow tells us there’s some kind of gaming engine, most probably NES emulator, pre-installed with the device. In addition, let’s not forget dedicated media playback buttons, as well as stereo speakers that surround the camera on the back of the phone. Again it’s ugly and the quality is… well… questionable… so keep your money for something else.

Check out few more photos after the jump.
