Quad-core Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Clone with 5.7-inch display


The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 hasn’t even been launched yet, but that hasn’t prevented China based, Century Electronics Group, from manufacturing a quad-core MT6589 equipped clone!

Clones of Samsung Galaxy Note phablets are ten a penny here in China. Some aren’t worth the plastic they are shoddily slapped together from, while others like this Note 3 clone look like quite the investment!

Marketed simply as the Note 3 and shipped in rather plain box, this Galaxy Note 3 clone looks very similar in design to the GooPhone N2, but rather than using an older dual-core MT6577 CPU this Chinese phablet uses the more powerful and efficient Mediatek MT6589 quad-core chip.

      The best way to avoid mistakes when buying a Chinese phone – buy a Chinese brand phone. It’s brands like Zopo, THL, Star, ZTE, Huawei. They have official websites which published the parameters of their models.

      Thanks for the info! Another name is Ulefone N9589.
      I like the “buried” display. A very good solution to protect it. Amazing!

      Do you think it’s a good phone or do i just waste my money on it?

        My one year old Star A9220 is still working today, and the display is perfect without any scratch even I never used any screen protector. I can’t guarantee if the new Star N9589 is better than mine, but I want to tell you some thoughts:
        Because I spent last year on it only $170, this year I can think to a quad core with Android 4.2 (I will wait for 4.2 I don’t want 4.1).
        But if would spent for a smartphone last year $500 can I think this year so easy to another smartphone?
        Technology is evolving too fast for me to buy an expensive smartphone so $200 is enough/year. One smarphone/year is maybe too much so I have hopes to keep for two years from now, starting with the new quad.

    I really like these phones but ive had a bad xperience. I bought a Star N8000 form digimaxonline via amazon. It lasted less than 2 months. It got hot while using wifi, then a strip down the touch screen died. I was surprised as Star got great reviews. Im thinking of getting the Xtreamer Aiki a Taiwanese phone. Does anybody have any experience with this phone?

    Has the 4.2.1 been released yet. I would like to get one. Also, How do I find out if it will work on my network? Does anyone use this in the U.S.? I need Virgin Mobile or T-Mobile phone.
