We only have 3 more days to wait until we finally get to see the
first official details of the
HTC One (aka the
HTC M7), but this hasn't stopped
Chinese clone maker
GooPhone jump the gun and
show off their
HTC One clone named the
GooPhone One!
GooPhone are notorious for launching highly accurate
clones phones with the
Chinese phone maker famously hitting the headlines last year when they threatened to
sue Apple should the iPhone 5 come to
China. Of course the
legal battle never happened but GooPhone did launch an unbelievably detailed
clone called the
GooPhone i5 which we reviewed last month.
The the i5 on the market, GooPhone are looking for the next hot phone to clone and it appears that they have chosen to launch a knock-off version of the new HTC One (or HTC M7).
The
renderings shown above
show that the GooPhone version of the
M7 will look almost identical to the leaked
renderings we have seen of the flagship 4.7-inch
HTC One, but with the addition of the GooPhone logo, and what appears to be Lewa OS rather than Sense 5.
Keen eyed readers will notice that the images show two signal strength indicators, hitting that the GooPhone One will support dual-sim stand-by and will likely use Mediatek's most up to date quad-core processor, the MT6589!
From what we know from other MT6589 phones and previous GooPhone phones we can assume that the GooPhone One HTC M7 clone will likely boast a 4.7-inch display, at least 1GB RAM and possibly even a 13 mega-pixel rear camera!
We'll keep a close eye on the GooPhone One and how the phone develops!
