The Best iPhone 4 Knockoff Yet (with video!)

Chris Chang, Jun 16, 2011 4:41 PM, 49,026 views, 30 Comments »,

You might not believe it but this is the best iPhone 4 knockoff on Earth. We have seen several iPhone knockoffs since the day we started this phenomenal blog, and we can say that 8 out of 10 iPhone knockoffs are crappy in terms of software, they just do not have the qualifications to compare with iOS. They look very similar to the real deal, but the user experience is very bad. While we are thinking to give up on looking for an incredible one, we came across an amazing iPhone 4 look-alike which is powered by Android but look and act more like iOS. We are now recommending you to check out an 11-minute-long hands-on video (in English) after the break.

Looks like the Los Angeles police dislike knock-offs. Recently, LA cops have busted a warehouse full of knock-offs, including fake iPods, iPhones and PSPs. The knockoffs were imported from Asia (probably China), and they were supposedly going to be sold around CES, duping consumers into thinking they were buying real Apple products for a waaaay lower price. What’s more, the cops also reportedly found receipts in the warehouse, along with other stolen and counterfeit goods, that pointed to the whole operation generating more than $7 million in profits. The end? Two dudes were arrested.

There are lots of iPhone 4 knockoffs in China, and all of them look similar to Apple’s iPhone 4 but this SoPhone here is probably the king of fake iPhones. It looks bloody awesome, and we almost could not tell it is a knockoff at first sight. Other than imitating the appearance of the original, the knockoff makers have brought the device to the next level by including an UI which works just like the real thing. Yes, SoPhone has lots of features: “Multitasking”, search, and even moving “apps” into folders with drag-and-drop!
