Here at Gizchina we’re over the moon that are planning on spreading their wings and officially enter foreign markets. The small but solid company have a great team of engineers, developers, designers and loyal following both at home and abroad, however there are some in the U.S that may not be so happy to see setting up shop. Back when their first smart phone, the Windows CE equipped M8, people remarked on how much the surprisingly well made Chinese device looked a lot like the iPhone of the time (the original iPhone 2G) this was enough to set off the department and they were enough to force to stop producing the M8. Fast forward to the end of last year and the M9, and while it doesn’t really look too much like the iPhone 4 (it actually looks more like a shrunken S) some of it’s features and it’s rather impressive Android UI might be enough to set the big angry lawyers off once more, especially if the move to comes true.

In fact it would be highly unlikely that would be able to enter the American market without any backlash from Apple, or for that matter! are already , the makers of the iPhone and iPad CPU’s due to and patent similarities with the Korean firms phones, and as already mentioned the M9 does look a lot like a smaller Galaxy, it even uses the same internal PCB and chips (supplied by Samsung) as the S!
