Some Chinese manufacturer must have gotten sick hearing so many rumours about an iPhone Nano that he just went out and made one. This little tri-band flip has a 2.4″ internal QVGA touchscreen, 1.3 megapixel camera, and a mockery of the iPod jog dial you all know and love. As you would expect, the HiPhone…
Fake Prada phone is pink, fugly
Chinese handset cloners are on the rage. Their latest work is kinda retro, as it deals with a device that is on the market for quite some time now (that’s retro in the mobile world). We’re talking about the original LG Prada phone, which has been blatantly used as an “inspiration” for the new device…
LC KC910: The LG Renoir Knock-Off from China
Images of a new knock-off, the LC KC910 have appeared on the web. The device is an obvious redo of the LG Renoir. It comes standard with dual SIM capabilities, 240×400 display, Bluetooth, a Media Player, FM Radio, a MicroSD slow and VGA photo camera (so sad, no 8MP camera here!). The OS looks to…
Nokia N86 8MP cloned even before it was released
Chinese handset makers cloners are getting faster with the day. Even though the Nokia N86 8MP has not been officially released, they’ve managed to clone it. The newly created device, called NCKIA N86E, is almost identical to Nokia’s original handset, although quite uglier. Specs wise — in case you care to know — there’s a…
NCKLA E71 is a touchscreen “version” of the Nokia E71; Totally fake!
Now this is going way to far. What you see on the image above is a blatant violations of a number of Nokia’s copyrights. The so called NCKLA E71-2 costs way less than the original Nokia E71 (mere $119 at Solomobi), but the quality seems spotty, to say the least. In a nutshell – you…
Small, fake Nokia N97 spotted, hated
Engadget’s Chris Ziegler had a short time with a device that looks pretty much like the Nokia N97, except that it’s much smaller and lacks the full QWERTY keyboard. However, the unnamed handset did “borrow” quite a few design lines from Nokia’s new flagship device, but failed to use the Symbian S60 platform. Rather, the…
Chinese M688 phone is the Toshiba G450 clone
To be perfectly honest I never liked the Toshiba G450. The awkward keyboard and the small screen are not my cup of tea, yet I could imagine younger generations loving it for some reason. Still, I’m having a hard time envisioned it as a bestseller, and was kinda surprised to see the Chinese handset makers…
Double fake Imobile Phone V453 is a Moto Aura clone with LV branding
This isn’t the first time we’re seeing the fake Motorola Aura phone. Some time ago we warned you about the Wingtech D20, which like the device we’re presenting you today, Imobile Phone V453, also used the standard square-shaped display instead of Moto Aura’s expensive circular screen. But the “designers” behind V453 model, obviously thought some…
HTC A296 is disgustingly ugly, fake
Chinese handset makers are getting worse with the day. Lately we’ve spotted their new “work” called HTC A296. Not surprisingly, this device (pictured above) has nothing to do with the famous Taiwan-based smartphone manufacturer. The “designers” behind the ultra-ugly phone only “borrowed” few lines from the HTC Diamond, yet decided to place the sliding numeric…
HTC Maple Looks Conspicuously BlackBerryish
The upcoming BlackBerry Application Suite might be bringing BlackBerry functions to the Windows Mobile form factor, but what about those who want it the other way around? You might want to look into nabbing the upcoming HTC Maple, recently spotted by CNet at Mobile World Congress. A bit of a cheeky name considering BlackBerry’s Canadian…
