ZoPhone weren’t the first to launch an iPhone 5 clone in China, however they do seem to have produced the most accurate iPhone 5 clone available even down to the new ear buds and Apples marketing!
What is the ZoPhone i5?
The ZoPhone iPhone 5 clone is a Chinese made imitation iPhone 5. It features the same design as the new 4 inch screen iPhone and even a similar specification, however it uses Google’s Android OS rather than iOS and will cost less than the real iPhone 5.
So now you know what the ZoPone i5 is it’s time to find out what this iPhone 5 clone has to offer us. Below are some of the features which ZoPhone are claiming for their new phone, and yes these images were all stolen from the Apple website and have had the Apple logo badly photo shopped out! (By ZoPhone not me).
ZoPhone iPhone 5 clone design
As this is classed as a ‘high-immitation’ iPhone 5 clone, the designers at ZoPhone have gone out of their way to produce an Android phone which looks and feels just like the real iPhone 5.
As such they have made their iPhone 5 clone to the same dimensions as the new iPhone 5 meaning you can use genuine Apple accessories with this low-cost Chinese knock-off!
The ZoPhone website has this to say about the i5
“The i5 as 7.6 mm thin which is 18% thinner than the iPhone 4S”
ZoPhone iPhone 5 clone display
The ZoPhone iPhone 5 clone gets the same 4 inch Retina display as the real iPhone 5. Not just the same size but the same resolution and PPI!
The officially specifications (here) state the ZoPhone i5 has a 4 inch retina display with a resolution of 1136 x 640 and 326ppi. They also claim that the screen on the i5 is 44% brighter than previous (iPhone 4s clone) phones and offers HD video playback.

@Andy I have some questions:
you put: “The ZoPhone i5 features built-in Wi-fi and supports 802.11m wireless network connections” but is not WiFi N???
then you put “The CPU in the ZoPhone i5 is the popular MediaTek MT5766 dual-core CPU” but is not MTK 6577???
Regards!
@Profesor Yeow cheers for that I’ll fix it now

Hi Andi
Do you have any recomendations of websits exept fastcardtech- they are not trastfull at all. Please give some detalis.
Thanks
Lukasz
Sorry best place to ask is in the forum
I also want to know a recommend reseller or something.
Which ships to the Netherlands.
You should review about the audio quality on all reviews too, not just the features and looks.
Thanks.
@Dennis,
It’s very difficult to do that and test things like RF reception when the item in question doesn’t even exist (yet!).
Unfortunately, there are very few proper reviews of this type of product as reviewers are more interested in what is coming next than what can be purchased right now.
That’s the difference between this type of website and Which? or Consumer Reviews etc.
Does this phone work with original iphone 5 charger and accessoires?
From most places you can purchase online, yes. They even come in an Iphone 5 box in most cases, and some even have the logo on the phone.
HI ANDY
BRO JUST I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT BEST iPhone 5 clones ?!
I FOUND MANY BRANDS LIKE GOOPHONE Y5 , HERO H3000+ , HERO H2000+ ZOPHONE I5 , !! WHAT IS THE BEST BRAND IN EVERYTHING ?!
Yes andy, Im from new york, and had the same question as Aquil and Lucas. whats the best clone in china for iphone 5? I believe they have 4 clones: H3000+, h2000+, Goophone, and Zophone… What do you recommend? And which chinese vendor website offers paypal, or is simarily trustworthy? Most of us want to go to a reputable website so we dont get screwed.
Hi Angie,
I just bought the zophone and its in the post to australia, cant wait to get my hands on it. I did my research and the zophone i5 seems the best clone out of H3000+, h2000+, Goophone. it has the same charger and size so you can use the same accessories and I got mine from http://unlockedphoneandroid.com/ who offer paypal.

hopefully it is the real zophone i5 ..
Hey Mateen, have you gotten your hands on the zophone from the website you suggested? is it the real zophone i5 they sent you?
hi AB,
Yes i got it while ago and it is awesome. It is the real zophone
.
which type of sim card does it use?
Does anyone know if you can replace the back cover or front screen with OEM Apple parts? I know the GooApple V5 and GooPhone Y5 are compatable with them
The phone is really crap. I made a review of it
A friend of mine purchased the Zophone i5 from this same site and yikes, I wish he had seen this video first. It wouldn’t be so bad if the phone actually had a signal and could connect to the network. It shows that sims is recognized, apn setting changed and everything, but no mobile network available. I figure it might be an antenna or something. No luck yet on a fix. Does anyone know if it can be opened and where to find replacement parts. Sending it back seems pretty costly and timely… Sucks
I told this also nearly a half year ago, but they deleted my post. Piece of Chinese shit. No network, the screen is with a lot of stripes.
