Chinese Fake Brands: HiPhone
Say Hello to HiPhone. No, not from Apple, but 1.3 Billion Chinese can’t tell the difference.
In the ongoing series of Chinese knock-off brands, we find a clone of Apple’s popular iPhone. With a similar product design and interface, it’s actually a good copy. While the name may be strikingly similar, I suspect the ‘experience’ doesn’t compare.
Live25, examines the device and how it compares to the real thing. Considering the hefty pricetag in Europe, I suspect this will actually raise a few eyebrows, especially with a feature list like this:
1. 3.5″ big screen that supports finger touch and no keypad or touch pen needed.
2. Dual SIM slots that holds two SIM chips and supports SIM card switching.
3. Triband GSM 900/1800/1900MHz that supports USA GSM standard.
4. Web addresses entering; web browsing, WAP setting, web address management.
5. Unlocked to any major network carrier.
6. SMS, MMS, voicemail and cell broadcast
7. MP3, MP4, file playing, recording, phone call recording.
8. Capturing, video capturing, photo viewing, playing
9. Hands free speaker phone. 3D sound.
10. Bluetooth supported.
11. TF card supported.
12. Diversified screen switch
13. One-Key return
14. Automatic screen rotation
Can a knock-off take the place of a true geek lust object? Will the public notice the difference? Can the Chinese electronics industry challenge that of Japan or America? We shall see.
