Cheap Chinese Fake Phones

MI5 — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 18:49:20 GMT

I found a cool website selling cheap chinese fake phones. iPhones, Samsungs, Sony's etc all copied shamelessly. The funny thing is (to me anyway) is that you can get an iPhone running android so for a laugh I've ordered one....

Now I'm not expecting anything special, in fact I'm not especially expecting it to work (so I won't be disappointed) but a dual SIM GSM/Wifi/GPS device you can't go wrong and I can't wait to see the look on all my apple fanboy mates faces when they see it......

It says next day shipping so as long as it's not on a slow boat from China I should have it soon. Pics and a review will follow

I hope it's not coming by ship!

Most of these seem to be dual sim, so that could be interesting.

We have had a few asking about the settings for these in the past.

Worst case scenario they'll swap it out and you'll end up with a real iPhone 5 haha

I've seen a few of these over the years.

The strangest one to date however, perfect replica, except it had an extendable aerial, very reminiscent of the hand-held televisions of the late 80's / early 90's.

Looking forward to some pics
