This week in fake devices: 5 luxury phones cloned

And we’re continuing with our “this week in fake devices” series. Today we’re dealing with Chinese “versions” of designer phones, which usually cost a small fortune. Without further ado, here are the contenders:
- Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Gucci phone – an attempt to merge Moto Aura with the famous designer produced a fugly device.
- Christian Dior – on the first glance this clone looks like one of hi-tech Japanese clamshell phones, but the specs aren’t there.
- VERTUFK9 – fake Rolex phone, which borrows some lines from Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s Vertu handsets.
- VERTUA16 – all-touchscreen Vertu phone? I don’t think so. If there is such thing, we would be all over it.
- New Mobiado phone? – Nah, it’s just a poor attempt to make something similar. High-end precious materials are not there, and the same goes for quality.
When it comes to fake devices “keeping your enemy closer” doesn’t work. Grab the real thing, instead.

Sheesh, where did you round these up from? They are right ugly, though so are their legitimate counterparts. I’m hoping fashion in cell phones is a fad that dies (although I suspect it will stick round the same as fancy laptops have).
Interesting post mate.
The fake Rolex phone wasn’t that bad. But the rest are pretty ugly. What outrageous amount do the reals phones cost?
