Chinese Galaxy S III knock-off looks almost exactly like the original for a third of the price
Share:
This here knock off of the Galaxy S III is brilliant - it looks pretty much like the original. Sure, it’s comparatively underpowered, a bit thicker and if you’ve seen the original you wouldn’t exactly be fooled by this here, but it also costs around a third of the price of the SGS III.
But while less powerful than the original, it’s not all that laggy and seems actually useful. How come? For starters, it features a 4.7-inch display, a 5MP rear camera along with a 0.3MP front-facing shooter and a 1GHz MTK MT6575 processor paired with 512MB RAM. All of this runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
But we can already imagine you smiling and wondering if it’d even allow playing Angry Birds without a nasty lag. Turns out, the handset actually handles even games like Temple Run, and the interface runs surprisingly smoothly. Best of all, it only costs $209, while the original SGS III is priced at around $650 off-contract. Not that bad of a deal now, is it?

Because Apple sues on "copies"
This is definition of a copy.

If its not a bad deal why don't you buy it? Maybe phonearena should do a review.

And I presume the SAR level will easily fry your brain?
This only matters to those that care what other people think when they look at the phone they are using. And they assume the onlookers are dumb enough to be fooled, and to care.

"This here knock off........."?? The grammar of most of the writers on PA is atrocious.

Will you get off the grammar nazi train. Did you even stop to think that maybe Victor is from Texas and that's how they talk or maybe he is just being silly?

Holy smoke 1/4 the RAM, guess this a disposable phone. Seriously China is the land of copy, and for some reason it is allowed by the government. Now that is patriotism to the max. You guys should see the knock off video game systems, from the Nintendo Polystation by Namco to the Game Box, stuff will have you laughing your derriere off.

If China is on the rise in the global economy, why can't they get past making cheap junk knockoffs? I don't understand why any company would do business with a place that blatantly steals your products. That's why they're up and coming... because they don't pay for anything, they steal it!!!
