knockoffs?
WELL I DID EMAIL YOU GUYS ABOPUT THE KNOCKOFFS AND HAVENT GOT A RESPONSE ON THEM ? BUT I WOULD THINK REVIEWING THESE PHONES WOULD BE ALSO HELPFUL TO UNSEEN BUYERS THAT DONT REALIZE THE DIFFERENCE.IF I WERE (PHONEARENA) I WOULD PROBABLY DO THE MOST COMMON CLONED PHONES FROM CECT AND EZIO.DUE TO THE FACT THAT BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION'S THEY SOUND LIKE THEY OUTDO SOME OTHER PHONES IN THE MARKET.MIND YOU THOUGH IN KEEPING IN MIND THAT SOME MIGHT NOT BE EXPECTED TO PERFORM THE SAME. THAT'S WHY I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME REVIEWS ON THEM ALSO .

Maybe the knockoffs will turn out to offer great value for the money, if not the same features.

And the latinamericaans eat it like stupids
-One more thing abou this. Im from latin american and there is a mall that offer a iphone clone as a true one.
When i see it i know that it was a clone but they are offering as the original.
Luckily for them, apple doesn't have representation here

No Need to Review
As you maybe knew, all MTK phones, a.k.a. knockoff phones as you called them, have only differences on their outlooking, but in the side of function, they are almost the same, almost jack in all master in none. They are labelled as having ability of image capture more than 2mp, but in fact only 0.3mp or 1.3mp. And they can only play mp3, 3gp,mp4 files that is in suitable fps for them. If someone wants to enjoy the A2DP function of them, he'd better have some choice else, that would be an uncomfortable exp. Only pros they have is their working hours could last longer than original phone, therefore this is the reason why MTK phones have great market among older people and simple phone-talking people, whose requirement is only a bigger screen,louder speaker and longer standing hours phone.

That's nothing...
i'm totally disappointed with phone manufacturers (specifically, nokia) for their failure to prevent these fakes from getting sold. here in manila we get alot of "cloned" n95, 6300, appple iphone amd so on, and these clones are so authentic-looking that it can fool just about anyone. good for you if you can spot the fakes immediately, but what about those who can't? they're getting something that decidedly won't last for a year even less but the manufacturers, hasn't done anything to control these counterfiets

Old News, this has been happening for years, China even faked a Chevrolet car. A research company tested both cars and found that the knockoff was very unstable in crash testing, which is also old news. ~Cheers

why mean to China?
well,I do realize that fakes are full of China,but they are also full all over the world, so why did this website have to take China for an example?
I don't understand,and China don't have that much fakes than you thought, the names you put on I didn't hear one of them, Maybe they exist,but what makes u think it's only happening in China?
it's so subjectified.

SHAME ON YOU, CHINA
IN VIETNAM, Chinese products are well known for low quality and fake products. From cellular phones, scooters to medicines...etc...you name it. A lawless government that has no regard to human live but making money from doing this kind business must be banned in all ways...The Clinton Administration and US Congress were so foolish in 2001 to award PNTR to communist China. Now looking at US trade deficit w/ China, they just realized how stupid they were.

knockoffs 2
THAT IS WHY PHONE ARENA SHOULD BE THE FIRST TO TEST THESE PHONES MADE BY CHINA,KOREA,ETC .TO GIVE US THE BETTER REPRESENTATION OF THE PHONES.AND YES CHINA HAS BEEN KNOCCKING OFF FOR A WHILE BUT NOBODY DOES SHIZZIE ABOUT IT.GIVE IT TOT THE CHINESE THOUGH,SOME OF THE STUFF THEY COME OUT WITH SURPASSES THE FEATURES OF OTHERS AND ROCKS THE REST BYU UNLOCKING THEM FIRST.THERE WAS ANA ARTICLE IN THE POPULAR SCIENCE THAT INTIGUED ME OF THE "I-CLONE".BUT HEY IF THE CHINA BRAND SMOKES EVERYONE WHY NOT BUY IT.

Correction - the Meizu Minione is not calling itself an IPhone. They are upfront that they are making a competitor. There is a difference between legitimate competition and scams (i.e. making use of other's brand name).

Pi Hua!
From my experience in China, faking things and selling counterfeit goods is rampant. Much more so than any other place I've visited fo any length of time. If the Chinese in general would focus more time on thinking of new ideas instead of copying everything who knows what they could acomplish. But thats not where the easy money is. Even so, many of the supposed "Engineering" schools there are akin to a high school shop class in the U.S. There's a reason most Chinese people prefer Japanese, European, and American products whenever they can afford them.

Not only the fakes come from China. Do you really believe Apple and SE and Nokia make their phones in America and Europe? Even if they have an assembly plant back home, the parts come from China anyway.

Meizu not a knockoff
FYR, Meizu's first phone product is not a knockoff, just like Samsung's L310 which looks a little bit similar to Nokia's 7390. No one accuse L310 is a knockoff of 7390.

not their fault
its really not the fault of the guys making the knock offs that we have to blame. if they can make a nokia 6300 with the same working functionality at a very low cost which is the main concern of a buyer, why can't the originals lower their costs to make the fakes less viable?
