There’s cloning, and then there’s CLONING
Chinese clone manufacturer/masterful Samsung troll No. 1 has just cloned Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5 smartphone. While this isn’t a unique feat in itself (GooPhone manage to announce theirs two days after the reveal of the S5) their iteration of the S5 has an IP67 rating, meaning it’ll stand up to being in water from 15cm to 1 meter for 30 minutes, just like the real thing. Oh China, you so funny.
NO. 1 S7 specs
- 1.7GHz MT6592 MediTek octa-core processor (possible 2.0GHz according to website)
- 1GB of RAM
- 5.1-inch full HD display, 1080 x 1920 resolution
- 8GB of storage, expandable via microSD
- 13-megapixel camera with LED flash
- 5-megapixel front facing camera
- 3G, HSDPA
- Dual SIM
- 2800mAh battery
- Android 4.2
No. 1 didn’t just copy the S5 design and slap on an IP67 rating on the S7. Apparently the company believes in the old adage if you’re going to do something, do it right: the S7 can also read fingerprints as well, according to GizChina, and promises that all wearable devices that work on the S5 will also work with the S7. We’re assuming this is an allusion to Samsung’s recently announced Gear 2 and Gear Fit smart watches and wearable fitness band. No. 1 has promised a $288.98 price tag for the S7, which comes out at around Php 12966. Not bad at all.
