Goophone i5: iPhone 5 and the Attack of the Clones

Posted by Unknown Friday, September 7, 2012

One of the definitions of "opportunism" in the dictionary of the Real Academia circumstances talk to harness the maximum in order to get the most benefit ignoring principles and convictions. Well, here it is. A Chinese company has presented Goophone name to your phone Goophone i5, that from every angle seems an exact replica of what you can expect from the iPhone 5 in a few days. But that's not all: The company has advanced to sue Apple if the iPhone 5 has some similarity with his mobile when it comes to Chinese territory. Because the i5's name is pure coincidence, right?

Probably one of the prices to pay when looking for low labor cost. Chinese portals are among the first to leak information when and if you decide to produce something in that territory, which has the potential to acquire a high level of popularity, it is almost inevitable that it is cloned. Not the first time they appear Chinese iPhone imitators, and obviously not the last while Apple decides to follow in the mobile device market. But there is some noise behind this new clone, Goophone i5. Instead of focusing on the hardware and technical capabilities of the device, the company that manufactures it went straight to shock: If the iPhone 5 is similar to Goophone i5, sue Apple in a Chinese court.


Did they survive to this video? Excellent, because this is one of those cases-style "do not believe it unless I see it." In essence, they have had almost every detail in mind, from the four-inch screen to the smaller connector, rounded corners, the metal frame, and the list goes on. And the software is not far behind. Although Goophone i5 uses Android 4.0 operating system, on the official site teach an interface modeled on iOS. Perhaps we can talk about hardware? Tegra 3 quad-core, 1.4 GHz, four-inch capacitive screen with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels, 1 GB of RAM, microSD slot supporting up to 32 GB, eight megapixel rear camera and 1.3 in the front, and classical and other features on any smartphone, even copy it.



The price for this smartphone has transpired is $ 300. Now, will there be demand? China is a very tempting market for Apple, and each of his adventures there has had its share of legal friction. Last July paid $ 60 million to Proview (who settled drowned in debts) to close a conflict of two years because of the "brand" iPad. And there's the key: 60 million coins for the equivalent of financial power Cupertino giant, while the other side, there are plenty of people who dream of becoming rich through a lawsuit, and a subsequent agreement outside the court. If Goophone people wanted their fifteen minutes of fame, has been obtained. However, for those millions in a possible lawsuit, guess who will have to work a little.
