    Going with the Tegra 3 might be good since binaries for it are widely available, due to it being used in the Nexus 7. We might see Cyanogenmod 10 for this sooner rather than later ;)

    To add on, I wish that they have a non-iPhone lookalike model. Buying this phone makes me feel like a Apple wannabe who couldn’t afford an iPhone… Which this phone is probably aimed towards. :p

    Now all we’re missing is Siri, wonder If this device will have something similar?

    @Logi_Ca1, a new iphone 5 (6th generation) would only cost $200 on contract, and this clone will most likely be more than that unlocked, so there is no longer any excuse, this phone is more expensive than the real deal, BUT In the end you’ll be saving tons of money, because off contract it’ll be anywhere from $700-$1,500, not to mention people getting ripped off for contracts, data plans,etc so I plan on using this with an unlimited prepaid plan with unlimited Talk, Text, Data for $40 per month. Good enough for me!

    Battery is the most important part of this and there’s nothing told about it….. As for me I’d have to buy an unlocked iphone and enjoy it no matter the price!

    Which WCDMA frequencies are supported?

    This is the one spec of all the China phones that is always vague and/or blatantly incorrect.

    For example the JiaYu G3, some sites say quad band, some say 850/2100 and some 2100 only.

    If I wasn’t going for the iPhone, I will get the iPhone 5 subsidised with a recontract, take the iPhone 5, sell it for about $700, and that will let me buy a GooPhone i5 with some change leftover. :D

    atleast 4G!!!! whats the point of all that power if you cant pull up google.com and search in a flash….pandora? netflix? torrentz (android based obviously torrentz)? pc mirroring? list goes on with fast data transfer….put the antennae in there anyway!!! theres LTE and 4G outside of china and thats where your marketing the product in the first place……if your gonna do something, do it right…..

    I honestly don’t think China will have 4G phones until a competitor decides to put a 4G antenna inside the phones. Once that happens, and others see skyrocketing sales, others will copy & follow suit, similar to the current trend of cheap dual core unlocked phones. It’ll happen sooner than later, my guess Is maybe In 2013

    What will be the price?????? It seems impressive as far the specifications go. If it is priced rightly then it should sell very well.

    all of you are stupid. the design is hideous. absolutely hideous. and a customized version of android further fragments the os.

    I guarantee the phone will feel as cheap and insubstantial as all other cheap Chinese cloned pieces of trash.

    @Bill if you don’t like it, why are you here wasting your time on typing, and bashing other members?

    Definately hoping to purchase this when it comes out, does it have gorilla glass? LOVE the retina display and refuse to leave android thats what im all for with the gooapple, i wish they would make an android 4.3 inch screen phone with the retina display though….

    It looks very impressive but still not mentioned that, if this Goophone I 5 is with Retina display? Secondly, the original I Phone 5 is 4G LTE but, what about this? I don’t think it is. Another thing is the processor is Dual Core MTK 6577 however, on some sites also mentioned Quad Core MTK 6589 but, how to purchase as not mentioned on Goophone website.
