Back in March, the Goophone i5S was released in China for $150, powered by a dual-core 1GHz MediaTek SoC with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of native storage. This was the manufacturer's knock off of the Apple iPhone 5S. Goophone now plans on bringing its knock off of the Apple iPhone 5C to the market next month with the Goophone i5C.
Mock up of the Goophone i5C
This model has not been introduced, but leaked specs call for the device to feature a 4 inch screen with resolution of 540 x 960 and a dual-core 1.2GHz MediaTek MTK6572 processor on board. 1GB of RAM is along for the ride along with 4GB of native storage. The back and front-facing cameras will be 8MP and 2MP respectively.
The Goophone i5C supports quad-band GSM with 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. The 2000mAh battery allows up to 5 hours of talk time. Android 4.2 is pre-installed and the phone is going to be priced at $99. Since this model has not yet been unwrapped, the picture of the phone that accompanies this article is a mockup.
