Think, to distinguish the real from the fake iPhone easily? It depends. Chinese craftsmen learned how to copy the look of popular gadgets almost one-to-one. Yes, and when the copy is not very accurate, still no one is immune from mistakes when choosing. Snews made selection of the most popular Chinese copies of iPhone. This material will help to avoid mistakes when buying, though, on the other hand, maybe someone just looking for an iPhone for as low as a simple "dialer"?
Cloning of all, to which the hand reaches for the ordinary Chinese have long put on stream.Toys, consumer electronics, televisions, and even jet fighters - in general, it is clear that the clone phone or smartphone at this scale is fairly simple. Of course, there is quite a respected Chinese manufacturers, who do not belong to the category of faceless mass copiers (Huawei, Lenovo, ZTE and others). There are those who "made their way from the bottom" due to a really high-quality devices with the author's design at a low price - Xiaomi is the best example, the model used in the series Mi geeks respected.
And the rest - Star, Newman, Jiayu, UBTEL, thousands of them - rivet smartphones, similar in appearance only to hit the world market of products from major manufacturers, "filling" which often consists of cheap SoC from MediaTek, as well as the operating system - outdated and "naked» Android. Well, just to somehow worked. And "work" here does not mean "worked fine."
But are cheap, plus almost all phones are sold with root-access. Skins can put your own with Google Play. Warranty? As there is none, but a conscientious seller refund the money or replace with a new one, however, for a few days, not years.
Why buy these smart phones? More often than not, buy them by accident in pursuit of two rabbits - "cool" brand and cheap - eventually catch ugly duckling. But someone specifically looking for a fake - in general, the Chinese smart phones themselves are sometimes a good alternative to the official, of course, if the buyer is willing to put up with their surprises and unreliability. But if you take it clones popular products, there is the first place in the list of motives purchase goes still and the desire to appear richer than they actually are. In second place - love to design a particular popular model and the absence of a very decent amount of the original. On the third - just so happened that you liked in terms of technical characteristics of the model of "chinaphone" has stolen design.
iPhone and to this day remains the most popular smartphone among the copyists. Moreover, free shell "under iOS" is in different versions as to Google Play, and the default gadgets themselves. Of course, no iOS, you will not see them in the best case, Android 4.2.
As far as living examples, some of the latest innovations is noteworthy Jiayu S2: very similar "brother» iPhone 5S, only without the central button of Home, but with the traditional "android" three buttons. For the sake of similarity with the Apple device part of the body was made of metal, but plastic (remaining part) looks very cheap. Inside - eight cores MTK screen Full-HD, 13-megapixel camera, 2 GB of RAM. In general, filling a decent and kind - like a fifth iPhone, well, almost. However, and Jiayu G5 is not far behind: the same design, but in a black case and for 270 dollars.
In general, the distinguishing feature of most clones early iPhone (that is, up to the fourth inclusive) - cheapness. So, we can say that this is the main criterion, which is worth paying attention to the non-specialist. For example, for $ 150 sold under the name of the clone V03;however, this gadget is made on an old dual-core platform and irrelevant MTK6575 Android 2.3 as the OS. However, there are just 5S (yes, so it was called) that can be said is a complete clone of the external model of the same name Apple, but on an old dual-core gigahertz platform MTK6577 with WVGA-screen and 512MB of RAM. But Android 4.4 already, and the price - around $ 145.
Finally, it can be said about the twin brother iPhone 4S: such models are difficult to find on the market than others (because he fourth iPhone already outdated), but that's kind of A6 + (aka - A6 ++ and A6 +++) still sells for 140 dollars, which, by the way, once the selling price was identical to the original iPhone with Chinese factories (and this leads to some thoughts).Powered clone, of course, on Android (version 2.3) and offers almost identical Screen: 3.5-inch, resolution 960x640 pixels. Of course, it's wide of plastic, but vital stuff, like GPS sensor and preloaded games Angry Birds, are present.
Not to say that Chinese phones - it's bad, and across different clones. The main thing that a person buying a clone, I knew why and what he does. And that in fact is more often the opposite: I want to the iPhone, and it expensive. And suddenly, or on the internet flea markets will fall "advantageous" ad, or on the street who will offer - how can we not give in to momentary emotions? But we must remember - clones sometimes virtually indistinguishable from the original, down to the inscriptions on the body. The first tip in this situation, turn the phone on and wait for the operating system is loaded. Often at this stage has to be all clear (instead of the expected iOS will boot Android), although there needs to be a little bit "in the subject." But it's best not to buy phones in questionable places and questionable characters.
