If you want a Lumia phone but can’t stand the OS on it (WP7 Mango), there’s always the option of getting a clone, that might just run an OS to your liking, such as Android. Such a device could be seen at CES 2012, courtesy of Rockchip. China-One Z500M is its name and it resembles the Nokia Lumias and the N9 greatly. The handset goes for...
Well, if you’re going to do a clone, at least do it right… What we have right here is a perfect example of why small companies shouldn’t copy giants such as Nokia. And that’s simply because the result will be crappy. This is the case of the “Nokla” N9 white unit below. I have to admit that the back of the cloned...
The cloned phones from Shenzhen have reached a new level: copying a device that’s not even out, based on rumors and inside info. The result is the pretty believable device below, an iPhone 5 clone that uses all the design features speculated and leaked recently. This clone was discovered by the Chinese gadget blog GizChina and we have here a...
The GooApple device below is actually a pretty decent iPhone 4 clone, that runs Android. This model keeps the dimensions of the original Apple handset, so we suppose the accessories meant for the iPhone will also work with it. Sadly, it’s only got Android 2.2, although I bet that you can fit Gingerbread in there if you try hard enough. The hardware...
Gaming smartphones were concepts months ago and now with the Xperia Play in full bloom, rivals have started appearing, at least in Asia. This is the case of the MOPS Shadow T800 phone, with a series name that translates to Phantom of the Opera. This is an Android 2.2 device. Created by Beijing company Man and Time Technology Co., Ltd. this phone has...
HTC HD7 has a clone out there and actually a pretty good one, that even keeps the kickstand at the back. The device runs Android and it’s made in China, a typical replica of the smartphone with Windows Phone 7 on board. The 4.3 inch display was kept, with a 800 x 400 pixel resolution, but the rest of the specs aren’t that impressive. What...
Nckla is usually a brand that clones Nokia phones, but this doesn’t seem to be the case, since the device below sports a pretty original design, although it borrows a cloned logo. This is a Shenzhen company producing clones, but it started performing worse lately, probably copying Nokia’s lack of success as well… What you see here...
Android may not reach Nokia or BlackBerry models as soon as some fans of the OS want it to, but at least we’ve got knockoffs and clones made in China to handle those desires. The device pictured below is called the H300 and it’s a BlackBerry clone with Android 2.2 on board and packing a touchscreen display. The smartphone adopts the candybar...
HTC’s newest Desire model, the Desire HD got cloned recently thanks to some mysterious Chinese manufacturer. The result is a pretty decent handset, that reminds us of the HTC EVO 4G model and gets a reasonable list of the specs. For the right price, this handset could be an affordable smartphone. What’s really appealing is the dual OS support...
You might have heard that China started blocking shipments of essential minerals to Japan a month ago and apparently it’s preparing to expand the embargo to the US and Europe. It’s important to mention that China mines 95% of the Earth’s rare minerals, so their importance as a commercial partner is crucial. Such minerals are used...
