iPhone Clone Review! CECT P168! *56k* YT Video soon!

Post by HotDog-Cart »

Hello guys. I picked one of these up from craigslist for about $50.

Pretty darn cheap!

For those who don't know, there are a lot of iPhone clones made by various companies in China/Taiwan. One of those companies is called "CECT". (You can check them out here: http://www.qxmc.com/ )

Heres a look at the phone. Theres even a picture comparing it to the real iphone. (These are not my pictures. I would take some, but theres a lot of pictures availiable on the net.)

The company along with other companies, make iphone clones. These phones are pretty neat I must say.

The phones have a lot of functions built into them for such an incredible price. (They go for about $100-$130 NIB)

The features include:

Various games (Even that one copter game off the net.)
-Mp3 Player
-Mp4 Player (Plays 3GP and mp4 files.)
-Calculator
-WAP Browser
-BMI Indicator
-....Menstrual Cycle Indicator (Yea... Thats right. I wouldnt trust this.)
-Picture Viewer
-Mp3 ringtones
-"3D Surround Sound" Speakers (Theres 6 speakers on this beast. Its VERY loud. I have to yell when I have this thing on full blast!)
-Dual Sim Card Capability (Good for business people!)
-Touch Screen
-Bluetooth for sending and recieving pictures, music, files, and headsets.

Some models even have:
-Ringtone Maker
-Wifi
-Windows Mobile

The Good:
-The phone is very cheap.
-Comes with a camera.
-Good touch screen sensitivity. (You dont have to use the stylus.)
-Dual Sim
-Phone has nice sound quality using the speakers.
-Nice call quality.
-Good Reception.\
-Good texting using touch screen.

The Bad:
-The included headphones are pretty bad quality, and to use regular headphones, you have to buy a special adapter.
-Weird menstrual cycle option. :S


The Verdict:
The phone is a very good phone for the price. It has good call quality, a lot of features, dual sim. If your looking for a cheap phone that can replace your old phone, your mp3 player and your mp4 player, get this. If your looking for a regular phone that just does texting and phoning, get this. Its great for texts with its touch screen.

I'll have a youtube review soon.

Another con: it looks to be about twice as thick as an iphone and made out of cheap plastic.

Also, the iphone's screen is covered in a special treated glass so it's very difficult to scratch. I highly doubt the CECT one is.

Umm... A menstrual cycle tracker? I'll pass, thankyouverymuch.

Meh, its a clone. How great can it possibly be? Cheap plastic, bulky, chinese, no reliable customer service or warranty....

It seems pretty good for far. Im the type of person that would rather buy a cheap knockoff than the real product. haha

If you really wanted to make it look like you have a clone get a hiphone. I think it's made by CECT too but it looks a lot better and more like one.

In the comparison shot, the desktop looks awful in sharpness and colour on the clone.

How did I know someone would bring him up?

I think it's a different phone, though. Very similar, but not quite the same.
