2013's
flagship smartphones have been out just a few months, but that's plenty of time for
Chinese manufacturer Sunle to announce the
Sunle S4 Samsung Galaxy S4 knock-off!
Knock off Android phones aren't as common as they once were in China. However, while most brands are hard at work carving our a niche for themselves others are more than happy to rip-off another company.
Chinese phone maker Sunle have opted for the easier know-off route with their
quad-core Android
phone the
Sunle S4. As the name suggests this is a
Chinese made
Samsung Galaxy S4
clone which runs Android 4.1.2
Jelly Bean out of the box.
Although outwardly the
Sunle S4 looks like a
flagship device, the hardware doesn't quite follow with most of the spec being on par with most 'Youth' versions of popular
Chinese phones. The 5-inch display has a resolution of 1280 x 720, their is just 1GB RAM and the
phone isn't using the latest version of
Jelly Bean.
There are a few highlights though such as dual-sim support, 32GB of on-board memory and also an
SD card reader, but we can think of a handful of more imaginative and better spec'd
Chinese phones heading for launch this month we would be more happier to spend our money one.
