Chinese iPhones or clones of the new Apple iPhone X
Among the Chinese clones of iPhone models, it is clear that one of the most sought after today is a clone that is the same or similar to Apple's next release, the iPhone X.
This new terminal from Apple is going to revolutionize the telephone industry, or at least that is what is said, but for now we can already find a first Chinese clone. Launched as soon as the iPhone X was introduced, a new smartphone from the GooPhone company was released which is already spoken of as the “first clone of the iPhone X”.
Consists in GooPhone i8 even though it is also known in social networks as GooPhone X, a terminal whose design is quite reminiscent of the new iPhone and which at the same time has a 5.5-inch screen with a processor MediaTek MTK6580, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory and a resolution of 720 × 1280 HD.
The terminal is also a novelty because it has Android 5.0 as its operating system, even though it is reported that it works as if it were Android 7.0. However, it also shows false 4G LTE status indicators it only provides 3G service and shows 64GB memory when, as I said, you only have sixteen (even though you can add a memory card).
It seems that the imitation of the iPhone X has more to do with design than anything else. Despite its impressive "looks", the Goophone X is quite simple and even though it claims to have a dual camera system, it only has 8MP rear camera and 2MP lens on the front.
A low budget android mobile that is a carbon copy of the iPhone X that also barely It will cost you about 100 euros, what more can you ask for?
Chinese clones or iPhones of the new Apple iPhone 8
On the other hand, we can find that the market also already has a Chinese clone of the iPhone 8. It consists of a smartphone model that has suddenly appeared in a video that is already running on You Tube and in which we see a smartphone. it looks similar to the iPhone 8 (pictured above).
At the moment the specific characteristics of the terminal are unknown even though it is said that its design and software are truly inspired by the new Apple phone.
From what we can see, the Chinese clone includes a rear glass, and also a camera double upright . The vertical dual camera feature also looks like it could be in the next iPhone. The Chinese clone comes with a unique specification as it has replaced iOS 11 with something calling itself Android OS. In this way, buyers will get the look of an iPhone, but the operating system Android . The clone of the iPhone 8 also includes a logo similar to that of Apple, so it is expected that it is not officially sold and it is necessary to search for it in the “underworld” of the internet to find it.
Regardless, the reality of the clone is starkly different from the Apple device, even though the fact that it has a much lower price will attract buyers. Even though nothing has been said about what this clone will cost It is rumored that the price is around 100 euros.
After seeing these two latest models when it comes to Apple clones, we can continue talking about Chinese phones with Apple's little brother: the iPhone 7.
even if you like it better Samsung, we also have the best clones for new terminals:
