The Chinese are well know for copying popular vestern smartphone designs. An iPhone looking phone running Android are one of the latest available devices

Android in a iPhone 

Not many days ago, we heard about a perfectly looking fake Apple Store in China where even the employees thought they worked for Apple. Conuterfeit products seems to be big business in China. Lookalike mobile devices are often available in the market before the original one. 

Most Chines lookalike copies are cheaper and the finish is not on pair with the original. Usually it's the hardware that's of worst quality. The operating system is often the real thing.

GooApple is taking the copy business a step further. It's mixing Apple iPhone hardware with Google Android operating system. Their latest and first model looks like a real iPhone and it has the same meassurement as the iPhone 4. But underneath it is powered by Android 2.2 Froyo OS. GooApple has modified the Android OS and made it look very similar to the iOS4 powering the iPhone 4.

The GooApple 3G phone is not running on the same hardware as the iPhone 4 so image quality and display glass strength might not be what iPhone owners are used to. On the other side, we are not sure if you need to wrap some plastic around the phone the have a good reception.

GooApple 3G highlights

  • Size: 115 x 58 x 9.3 mm
  • Android 2.2 Froyo
  • Qualcomm CPU
  • 3D network support
  • Wi-Fi
  • Sensors: Proximity, light, e-compass
  • 3.2 megapixel camera, flash

Apple just doesn't have guts in fighting their dopplegangers thats why they vent their frustration on known brands like Samsung and HTC, should they take this mock as a claim that Android is better than IOS?
