Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
We get to see fake devices on a weekly basis. Sometimes, we get to learn that certain popular smartphone has been cloned even before it was officially announced. Take the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 as examples. With Chinese “designers” getting better with the day, it’s getting harder and harder to distinguish between…
Again and again, we see GooPhone cloning popular mobile devices before they start selling. The latest on their list is the soon-to-be-announced Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The Chinese phone clone maker used any number of leaked photos to come up with a phablet that should look like the next Samsung Note. We say “should,” cause…
We don’t get to see clones of the Chinese phones that often. Usually, we have fake iPhones and knock-offs of popular Samsung and HTC devices, not fake China-made phones. That’s not the case with the iNew V8, which is a new “variant” of the Oppo N1 — that’s right, in a weird twist of events…
With the upcoming iPhone 6 set to come with a bigger screen, some folks (myself being one of them) are arguing Apple could also launch the iPhone Mini at some point in the future. Said model could sport a 3.5-4 -inch screen and lower-end specs compared to the “regular” iPhone 6. Chinese cloners can’t bear…
Certain Chinese OEMs can’t help but make copies of well-known devices. The latest gadget that caught their eye is Pebble, the smartwatch that started its life on Kickstarter and has gathered an impressive following ever since. It got its Chinese “version” in the form of Zebble, which not only looks like Pebble but also has…
Wow, that was fast. Only two days after Samsung’s official announcement of the Galaxy S5, China’s GooPhone managed to clone it. The end-result is actually pretty decent, though you should refrain from buying it at any cost. We can’t support this form of blatant IP infringements and you shouldn’t either. Anyway, the newly unveiled GooPhone…
We’re not sure why it took so long for some Chinese company to make its own “version” of Apple’s iPad Mini. Perhaps we missed some previous product, perhaps not. Anyhow, we have one such device here, and it’s called GooPad Mini 2. However, despite its name, this is a clone of the original iPad Mini…
Well what do you know; Chinese cloners did it again and this time round their target is the hot-new Motorola X. The device called HDC X would fool anyone who’s not looking into details and asking questions such as “where’s the Moto logo here?”. Plus, if you can actually fire-up the Settings you’ll see some…
Chinese cloners have did it again. This time their target is the HTC One Mini, which fake version is now available in the world’s most populous country for less than $100. Naturally that price can’t get you hardware that’s comparable to the original HTC One Mini. The simply called MINI ONE has just 512MB of…
Valve’s Portal has blown some minds in its day. The 2007 cult favorite and its 2011 sequel featured reality bending gameplay that would leave your brain as warped as the portals you’d jumped through. Now a new homebrew project out on the Nintendo DS might just blow your mind again. Aperture Science DS is a…
