Chinese factories are good at turning clones out based on a photo or known specs. The watch industry is rife with the same thing. Once you turn it on, you will realize that it isn’t authentic.
OS Blech appears once you turn it on….
Yah, I’d be surprised that they would be so willing to show their faces if it was the genuine device. But if it was a knock-off, why didn’t it turn on? Aren’t they selling it?
It’s not the Silicon Valley of hardware (lol), it’s a shopping district. It’s one F’n street where you can buy electronics, mostly fake crap.
Yes, it’s pretty claustrophobic in there. Watching this video will make you a little queasy. Ugh. China.
That lady’s face looks like someone stretched her eyes out with dental floss and smacked her nose with a frying pan.
Grow up, you asshole.

She is so cute! 😀
Her English is impressive for being non-native.
Visit China. You’ll be glad you did.

Fake – agreed
I took a trip to Shenzhen once, when I was working in Apple’s hardware test engineering group. I went to that market, and saw a whole lot of things with Apple logos on them that Apple never made.

FAKE. Still has a ear phone port.
I would be surprised if this phone was the first to lose the earphone socket, its a catch up design rather than the bleeding edge one.
