iPhone clones roundup

John Chan | Feb 21, 2008

The sheer number of new mobile phones out there doesn't allow us to include every single one in our extensive database, let alone review all of them. As you'd probably expect, knock-offs of iPhones are especially low priority in our "to review" list. That's not to say they aren't interesting though, in a "should I get one for my boss because I hate him" kind of way.

Well, the people at The Red Ferret Journal have an interesting roundup of five iPhone clones. And as the comments and scores from the author show, none of them really come close to the iPhone. Is anyone actually surprised at the results? Maybe the planned Meizu M8 will buck that trend, that is, if it ever sees the light of day.

it is not a surprising story really. We have seen many Ipod clone out there. So it is not a strange things if there are companies that copy iphone design and then use it themselves. But like the author said, none of them are actually close enough with the real one. I learn never to hope anything with a clone like this. We'll see whether Meizu M8 can change my opinion
