Agreed, "made in China" has become a punch line but it just depends on *what* you import from China.

 

I think most of the members would appreciate a buying guide

LOL. They look nice, but those specs are absolutely garbage. If you're looking for a new phone, I suggest looking on GeekBuying.com.

Interesting, but there's a ton of Android phones that are iPhone-like in design.  There's a handful from HTC (whom, I believe, were actually FIRST to the metal unibody with two plastic antenna bands, even before the iPhone), and a recent example is the new OnePlus 3 that just came out last week.  Co-incidentally, I should have mine by end of day tomorrow, assuming UPS sticks to schedule.  🙂

Over in China they not only counterfeit the phone, they even counterfeit the stores

Here's a couple of articles. Basically, knock offs without iOS or equivalent hardware.

I've heard alot about it (years ago, surprised its still around)

Nothing good though

 

As I am sure you can guess it is of questionable build and legality

I seem to recall OS is actually based on an Android build unless that changed

 

But you what would be great, is if we saw more nifty models
