With all the excitement about the upcoming iPhone 7 models it comes as no surprise that Chinese clone makers are already planning to cash in on the latest iPhone instalment.
We’re all well aware of clone brands like GooPhone, well GooApple are a similar company who make it their business to merge Google’s Android OS with the design of Apple’s latest iPhones.
The company currently sell knock versions of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus called the GooApple i6 that feature a clone of iOS 8.1 (based on Android) either 4.7-inch or 5.5-inch displays and up to 64GB internal memory.
GooApple i7 iPhone 7 clone
The recent flood of possible iPhone 7 renders has already given GooApple the inspiration they need to start planning their own iPhone 7 clone called the GooApple i7.
Gizchina News of the week
The featured image is a screenshot of a page sent in by an anonymous tipster, which clearly shows one of the better looking iPhone 7 renders with the GooApple i7 naming. What we don’t see in the image are the purported specifications which for a clone (or another Chinese phone) are quite impressive.
Apparently the GooApple i7 will get the Mediatek Helio P10 treatment with 4GB RAM and up to 256GB internal memory plus space for a micro SD card. The battery size is claimed to be 3100mAh with fast charging technology and the slim metal body will feature NFC, audio HIFI and even a 16 mega-pixel main camera!
Like current Apple iPhone clones, the GooApple i7 will ship with Android, Android 6.0 in this case, with an iOS UI over the top.
If you read that list of hardware and have a few doubts then you aren’t the only ones. The specifications that the GooApple i7 claims to be getting would make it one heck of a Chinese Android phone clone or not, but we find it hard to believe this clone maker will meet its promises.
What do you think of this iPhone 7 clone? What do you think of the specs? Let us know in the comments below.
This is gonna make a lot of people consider going the clone route. For me though, nada. I dont like the iPhone design.
Yup, if it is all it says it will be. Specs sound too good to be true
and you had to spoil our two minutes of elation , eh bloke 🙁 ?
It would be a huge step up for Goophone who usually clones the look only and leaves a lot left to be imagined with specs.
Are you or anyone from Gizchin gonna be at CES this year??
I might be at that one too. We should grab a beer!
this actually makes ALOT of common sense (which is v.rare , ironically), clone makers should save a FORTUNE on the design and aesthetic planning part of the phone… if they can put enough large-scale quid together , they may well be able to go FULL beast mode on supercharging specs and performance of a clone device …
this could usher in an indefinite GOLDEN ERA for clones !
Right, well the only crazy spec I see here the 256gb storage wich I would gladly trade for 64gb/128gb plus and sd-reader… Everything else sound fine to me and if the price is right then that’s a no brainer IF, IF, if it were to come true.
By the way Andi you and the team left the Gionee Elife E8 with no review, what’s up??? Please make one 🙂
I could try and imitate yash and make one with pictures, or you could go to that guy of Unboxed therapy for an idea.
