Exclusive: GooPhone N3 Octacore hands on

It’s always nice to open up a new phone for the first time, even better when it is one of the first of the new octacore GooPhone N3 phones to be available!

GooPhone have been around for years and are infamous for their phones which look remarkably like Apple’s and Samsung’s flagship offerings. Although we have seen GooPhone branch out in to some more original products, mostly wearable, the company remains a clone maker at heart and they don’t look ready to change anytime soon.

The GooPhone N3 is their latest Note 3 inspired Android phablet to go on sale, but unlike the hundreds of other similar modes the GooPhone N3 is running the latest 1.7Ghz octacore MT6592 chipset from Mediatek!

Costing just $269.99, the GooPhone N3 is the most affordable internationally available 8-core phablet on the market, and a quick look over the specifications will reveal some rather nice features!

The display is a bright, clear and responsive 5.7-inch 1920 x 1080 FHD display, the chipset is the latest octacore MT6592 processor, there is also 2GB RAM, 16GB memory, micro SD card, 13 mega-pixel main camera and 5 mega-pixel front!

I have only just managed to unbox the phone take these photos and boot it up for a quick play, but first impressions are quite good. The display is bright and clear, the systems seems responsive and bug free (a long term test will reveal any issues), and even the 13 mega-pixel main camera took some impressive photos even in the low light of the cafe where I happen to be.

We will be putting the GooPhone N3 through its paces over the next few days and aim to have a full in-depth review posted in a week or so.

Thanks to GooPhone.cc for sending us this review phone, take a look at the GooPhone store where you can purchase the GooPhone N3 now for just $269.99.
