ZoPhone cameras
While we still don’t know what the front camera will be rated at, the rear is an 8 mega-pixel unit which features auto-focus and all those great Android ICS manual features!
From what ZoPhone write on their site it seems they are hinting at the fact their iPhone 5 clone actually features the same camera as the previous iPhone 4S!
However they also go on to claim that both the front and rear cameras on the i5 are capable of capturing 1080 video which I’m not quite ready to believe.
ZoPhone i5 Lightning adapter
Like the real iPhone 5 the ZoPhone iPhone 5 clone has a newly copied Lightning adapter which is smaller than the previous 30pin dock connector of the iPhone 4S.
Gizchina News of the week
It is said to work either way round, like the real lightning connector and there will be 30pin adapters to convert your current (ZoPhone) accessories to work with the i5.
ZoPhone Siri
ZoPhone are also advertising their clone with a voice assistant which understands and responds in Chinese. I guess this will be based on iFlytechs popular, and very effective, software which Xiaomi are also using on the M2.
As you can see from the screen shots the ZoPhone iPhone 5 clone’s Siri looks the same as the real Siri on Apple’s iOS!
ZoPhone i5 Conclusion
While the marketing hype sounds good many of the points above seem to good to be true and I’m personally holding off judgement until some real i5’s are seen and tested.
However if it all turns out to be true and ZoPhone can offer the i5 for the $200 price mark (which they have suggested) then they will certainly be on to a best seller, unless Apple sues them!
What do you guy’s think of the ZoPhone iPhone 5 clone? Let us know in the comments section below!
@Andy I have some questions:
you put: “The ZoPhone i5 features built-in Wi-fi and supports 802.11m wireless network connections” but is not WiFi N???
then you put “The CPU in the ZoPhone i5 is the popular MediaTek MT5766 dual-core CPU” but is not MTK 6577???
Regards!
@Profesor Yeow cheers for that I’ll fix it now 😉

You should review about the audio quality on all reviews too, not just the features and looks.
Thanks.

@Dennis,
It’s very difficult to do that and test things like RF reception when the item in question doesn’t even exist (yet!).
Unfortunately, there are very few proper reviews of this type of product as reviewers are more interested in what is coming next than what can be purchased right now.
That’s the difference between this type of website and Which? or Consumer Reviews etc.

Does this phone work with original iphone 5 charger and accessoires?
From most places you can purchase online, yes. They even come in an Iphone 5 box in most cases, and some even have the logo on the phone.

Hi Angie,
I just bought the zophone and its in the post to australia, cant wait to get my hands on it. I did my research and the zophone i5 seems the best clone out of H3000+, h2000+, Goophone. it has the same charger and size so you can use the same accessories and I got mine from http://unlockedphoneandroid.com/ who offer paypal.

Does anyone know if you can replace the back cover or front screen with OEM Apple parts? I know the GooApple V5 and GooPhone Y5 are compatable with them

The phone is really crap. I made a review of it

A friend of mine purchased the Zophone i5 from this same site and yikes, I wish he had seen this video first. It wouldn’t be so bad if the phone actually had a signal and could connect to the network. It shows that sims is recognized, apn setting changed and everything, but no mobile network available. I figure it might be an antenna or something. No luck yet on a fix. Does anyone know if it can be opened and where to find replacement parts. Sending it back seems pretty costly and timely… Sucks

I told this also nearly a half year ago, but they deleted my post. Piece of Chinese shit. No network, the screen is with a lot of stripes.

I noticed the comments here. I am looking to purchase a zophone i5 with retina display and LTE internet along with 4G for use in the US. Can someone reference or recommend the model which works in US, latest available, and overall experience. I know this has been asked before, but reply would be appreciated.
