Huaqiangbei is the first to experience Apple’s knock-off version of iPhone 6

IT168 Review It’s time for Apple’s annual iPhone update again. Apple is expected to officially release iPhone 6 around September, and now more and more information about iPhone 6 has been exposed, including the appearance of the machine, Information leakage of PCB and so on. At the same time, we found an "iPhone 6" in advance from the magical Shenzhen channel. Apple has not yet released the copycat iPhone 6 running Android system, which is really amazing. Next, let’s take a look at this artistic crystallization of copycat culture and efficiency.

▲Getting started with the copycat iPhone 6 experience

The iPhone has always been the target of imitation by domestic copycat manufacturers. Since the first generation of iPhone, copycat manufacturers have begun to imitate. Now iPhone6 ??has not yet been released. has appeared. As the Android system continues to grow, copycat iPhones have also shifted from a feature phone system to an Android system. After years of development, the appearance of the system running on copycat iPhones is getting closer and closer to iOS.

▲Fake iPhone 6

This fake iPhone 6 comes from some factories in Shenzhen. Its appearance design is basically based on the iPhone 6 exposed online. It has a 4.7-inch screen and runs Android system.

▲The back of the phone

The back cover of the knock-off iPhone 6 is made of plastic material painted in a metallic color. The white lines have a matte texture, which is really different from the metal texture of the iPhone.

▲Thickness of the phone

The body of this fake iPhone6 ??is quite thin, and with the curved frame, it has a good feel. This indicates that the real iPhone 6 will feel better than before (if the real phone is like this)

▲Mobile phone thickness

▲Mobile phone size

Counterfeit iPhone6 The thickness is only 7.3mm, which is already very thin for many mobile phones worth several hundred yuan today. In addition, the length of the fuselage is 138mm and the width is 66.9mm. Of course, there is no way to verify whether this is the real size of the phone. . But I can only say that with this size and the round edge design, it feels really good in the hand.

▲2.5D glass

In addition, this fake iPhone 6 uses 2.5D curved glass to cover the front of the fuselage, but is this piece of glass or plastic? Let’s continue taking a look?

Details of the fake iPhone 6

▲Apple logo

The Apple logo on the back of the fuselage feels very plastic and reflective if you really look at it carefully The effect is very average and has an obvious fake feeling, but the recruitment effect under the flash studio is really fake.

▲Mobile phone model

There are various serious information under the fuselage. We noticed that the model number of this fake iPhone6 ??is A1429. This model is the model of iPhone5. It will also be faked. Change the model number, you can just make it up.

▲Camera

The camera on the back protrudes slightly. Next to the camera is a noise reduction microphone, but the LED fill light is really fake, yellow and very ugly.

▲HOME key

The home keyboard of the knock-off iPhone 6 has a plastic feel, not to mention poor hand feel, and of course does not have a fingerprint recognition function.

▲Front-facing camera

There is a front-facing camera on the front of the fuselage, as well as distance sensor and light sensor. I have to say that the metal cover of the earpiece is pretty good.

▲Mobile phone volume buttons/mute switch

On the left side of the fuselage are the volume buttons and mute switch. The buttons are made of metal, which shows that hard work has been put into this part.

▲Switch button/SIM card slot

On the right side of the fuselage of the fake iPhone 6 is the SIM card slot and the switch button of the phone.

▲SIM card tray

The fake iPhone 6 uses NanoSIM. The SIM card tray is made of metal and its workmanship is rough. But I have to say that the copycat has pursued details in the SIM card part. If it is done casually, it can be made into a Micro SIM card version.

▲SIM card slot

From the card slot position on the fuselage, you can see that the casing of the phone is made of plastic. From this position, you can see the white plastic material inside the casing.

▲Bottom

The USB interface of the copycat iPhone6 ??uses a lighting interface, so Apple’s data cable must be used. In addition, the opening design at the bottom is copied from the iPhone5C.

Copycat iPhone6 ??system

▲Unlocking interface

Copycat iPhone6 ??uses the Android system. The system interface is designed to be the same as iOS, and the unlocking interface is exactly the same as the iPhone. You can also quickly start the camera, but of course don’t expect smoothness. . .

▲System interface

When entering the system, it feels like an iOS system, but this is just an imitation. The smoothness of the system is far less smooth than iOS, and many functions are also based on Android services. The overall smoothness of the system, including desktop operations, software running, taking photos, etc., is at the same level as an Android machine priced under 500 yuan.

▲Settings interface

When you enter the settings interface, you can see that the settings are the same as those in iOS, but some functions are actually unavailable.

▲About This Machine

In About This Machine, you can see that the model number of this fake iPhone6 ??is MD297ZP, which is also the model number of iPhone5.

▲Pull-down menu

The knock-off iPhone6 ??provides both pull-up and drop-down menus, as well as background blur, and the functions in the pull-up menu are exactly the same as iOS. Even richer than iOS. It is worth mentioning that the background blur effect is actually just a picture, because as long as you change the position of the background application, it will be exposed. The blur effect does not change with the change of the application position.

▲Dial-up interface

The dial-up interface is also consistent with iOS, and the operation is the same. The only difference is that the response speed is obviously much slower.

▲Input Method

In addition, I also noticed that the font of the input method is different from iOS. The font is thicker and feels a bit copycat.

▲Photo interface

I am very impressed that the photo interface of the fake iPhone6 ??is designed exactly the same as that of iOS, and the functions provided are the same. When you click the filter symbol in the lower right corner, you can enter the camera settings.

▲Antutu system information

Open Antutu and you can see the MT6589 quad-core CPU used by this fake iPhone6. The displayed resolution is 960x1704, but the actual resolution It only has 960x540, and the resolution is also fake. The 2GB memory and 32GB storage space shown should also be fake. There is only 1G memory and 4G storage space.

Comparison between copycat iPhone6 ??and iPhone5s

The texture of the fake iPhone 6 is really different from the real iPhone5s. The plastic craftsmanship of the fake iPhone 6 cannot simulate the texture of metal, and the processing of some other details is still relatively rough.

Summary:

Our magical Huaqiangbei knockoffs have not yet been released, but knockoffs of iPhone6 ??have already appeared. We can only say that our knockoff capabilities are too powerful. According to our understanding This copycat iPhone 6 sells for only 550 yuan, which is not bad for a 4-core domestic mobile phone. However, this phone is following the path of a copycat iPhone6. The system optimization has not kept up at all, and the response is also very slow. , although the system is similar to iOS, it is worse than the native Android system.

▲Counterfeit iPhone 6

For users who are looking forward to iPhone 6, it is recommended to continue to wait for the release of iPhone 6, and for those who want to buy fake iPhone 6 to support the scene, we also recommend not to buy fake products, always quality There is no guarantee to avoid consequences that outweigh the gains. Now it is recommended that you still buy iPhone5S. The authentic Hong Kong version of iPhone5S 16G is only 4,299 yuan (click to buy) on the Huaqiangbei online mall (not Shenzhen Huaqiangbei Business District), and the Japanese version 16G is only 3,688 yuan (click to buy). The price It has reached a relatively reasonable level, and it will take at least 3 to 4 months after the iPhone 6 is released to be able to purchase without restrictions, and scalpers will drive up the price, and it will take at least half a year to reach a reasonable price level, so the iPhone 5s will still be better within half a year. choice.
