Governments and law enforcement agencies in many countries are tightening legislation in order to reduce the production of counterfeit smartphones from well-known brands. In most states, this act is classified as a violation of intellectual property and is considered a criminal offense. Against this background, many Chinese manufacturers have reduced the production of counterfeit devices.
Including Goophone, which initially slowed down its conveyor belt. But the way out Samsung Galaxy This company was unable to miss the S5 and, 36 hours after the presentation of the original phone, released what they claim is an ideal copy. On the site Chinese company Information has appeared about the imminent start of sales of the pseudo Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), which will cost $299. The original costs 699 euros. Judging by the available data, the Chinese clone is practically no different in appearance from the real phone, and specifications You can't call them weak. Goophone S5 is powered by a MediaTek processor with 8 cores and a frequency of 2GHz, Size random access memory is 2 GB, and the built-in one is 32 GB. Support available microSD cards. The display is 5-inch with Full HD resolution.
In a completely immodest way Chinese manufacturer states that " GooPhone has always been ahead, among the best", referring, of course, to his new unit.

We visited the official website of Chinese masters and this is what we saw. Judging by the number of “likes” and “tweets,” we can assume that the phone really has its own fans, and therefore ensures success for companies that are mainly located there – in the Middle Kingdom. But we haven’t found the “Buy” button yet.
Here it is - the proud product of Chinese ingenuity "GooPhone S5"
The fake does not have dust and moisture protection, just like biometric scanner fingerprint and heart rate sensor. The copy has a 13 megapixel camera. The front camera is as much as 5 megapixels. The device supports simultaneous operation of two SIM cards. The operating system of Goophone S5 is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The Chinese model is sold, like the original, in 4 colors: white, black, bright blue and gold.
There is nothing to flash the new Goophone yet, but this will most likely not last very long. The review of the Chinese analogue can hardly be called comprehensive yet, since there is little information even on the official website, so it’s worth waiting for the phone to go on sale.
You can easily install any necessary language, as is done in the “normal” operating system Android. Available languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Russian, Dutch, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Turkish, Vietnamese, Czech, Indonesian, Filipino, Romanian, Hungarian, Chinese, etc.

299 US dollars, or about 10,700 rubles for today's course. According to our conservative estimates Chinese fake Galaxy S5 made in Taiwan will cost you about 24,000 rubles cheaper than a real Korean device, given its official price from 699 euros.
I will never buy myself a copy of anything. It’s better to pay the real price for a phone and have a warranty from Samsung than to buy a fake; if it breaks, you’ll lose money forever. In the end, the miser pays twice.
But it doesn’t matter to me - if it works (I’m waiting for more reviews), then I’ll buy it. Why overpay 20 thousand when you can buy the same thing for only 10. So what? back cover it will say Gophone, there will still be a cover there.
Maybe they sell it in Russia original equipment from the manufacturer, but in Belarus it is not possible to find it in more than one salon original phone. They directly say that it is not profitable to carry originals, since no one buys them because of their high cost. It’s much easier to bring a Chinese phone and sell it. It will work for at least a year, and a year later a new gadget will come out and you’ll still be buying a new phone.
June 1st bought in a company store original Apple iPad mini to 64 GB with retina display. Gave more than 30 thousand. A week later, this “miracle of technology” froze completely. Stopped responding to any functions at all. And I couldn't turn it off either. I had to go to the service center... They did it. Now I’m waiting for the next whim from this fucking APPLE “miracle”.
