You don't want this. Buy a brand name Android phone.
iPhone clone Android are really dumb, because think about it: Android has home, menu (not really on ICS anymore), back, search (again, not on ICS). But the iPhone clones have a single button. So how will you navigate with that single button when you AT LEAST need back and home?

so this phone not worth ?????
The goophone i5 has a Single Hardware Button wich is mapped with the menukey function. But there are onscreen softbuttons too. So there will be no Problem in Navigation.
The specs of the i5 Sounds good for me, But i haven't test it for myself

Makes it even worse. Why have a single hardware button, along with onscreen keys, when they could just add the menu button into the navigation bar (like AOKP)? It would look awful.
@OP The phone will probably be stuck with its original firmware forever, and most market apps will list the phone as "incompatible." For its price, which I think is upper $200s or even $300+, it would be a better idea to buy a Galaxy Nexus once its price drops, or even a used S2/Gnex

230 euros = $296
At any rate, it is trying to copy the iPhone 5 so it will attain its unique resolution of 1136x640, thus making pretty much any app unsupported
Also, it's tegra 3. Good, but incredibly overrated. The Snapdragon S4 dual core is on par with tegra 3

Doubts about goophone.
Hello,
I've this phone (Goophone I5) and the goophone y5 (iphone 4s clone).
In this post i'll do a review of both.
Goophone Y5
Unboxing:
Brings earphones, iphone data cable and charger. Even the manual is the same as iphone 4s.
Look:
Looks exactly the same as iphone 4s. It has the same aluminium structure, back case in glass and retina display with 960x640 pixels as the original iphone.
It came with a micro sim slot as the iphone 4s. So, you must cut your regular sim card to fit on this phone as you do with the real one.
OS Look
It looks exactly the same as iphone 4s. It comes with an default launcher that is 99,99% the same as the iphone 4s.
All the S.O was edited to look as the iphone 4s. And to be honest i'm really impressed with their work. It's very well made.
Performance:
This is a very good phone. It is fast, it runs all the most played games with no lag at all. I was expecting it to be some kind of slow and laggy, but it isn't. It does it job very well.
But you must take a point in consideration. This is an android based software, so it will not be as fast as an iOS phone. iOS is made in objective C and android is java based. so.. iOS is faster than any android based cellphone.
Camera
It has an 5.0 MP Camera with flash. The quality is good when you take pictures at day light. Night pictures aren't that good...but as any phone you get more quality with day pictures than night.
The video recording is good. The format is 3GP but is ok. The camera recording is fast and its quite reliable.
Overview
For that people who love android (like me) i recommend you to buy this phone. It's so similar, than if you have a real iphone 4s you can replace some parts from the goophone y5 (Screen and Battery).
I got mine from thecheapchoice.com
Here is the link: http://www.thecheapchoice.com/en/smartphones/13-goophone-y5-.html
The price is around $200 USD. But it worth every penny.
I bought mine from here. They have 3 options of shipping.
- Free shipping (15 -30 days).
- Registered air mail (Tracking code: 10 - 20 days )
- DHL, EMS, Fedex (5 - 10 Days)
Payment:
They only accept Paypal. But is okay! This way you have your order secured. If you don't get it in 45 days you can ask the refund.
This website is reliable, they don't lie to you, you get what you buy and their service is also good.
Goophone I5 Lite
Unboxing
Brings earphones, iphone data cable and charger.
Look
Looks exactly the same as iphone 5. It has the same aluminium structure with only 7.6mm , back case as the iphone 5 and display with 960*540 pixels (not retina display) but it has good quality. It is very very similar to retina display, you won't see the difference.
It came with a micro sim slot as the iphone 5. So, you must cut your regular sim card to fit on this phone as you do with the real one.
OS Look
It looks exactly the same as iphone 5. It comes with an default launcher that is 99,99% the same as the iphone 5. I think that the company took the launcher from the goophone y5 and just improved it.
All the S.O was edited to look as the iphone 5. It's more iphone like than the Y5
Performance
It is really fast. It brings a dual core processor and 1GB ram so you will notice that every move you make on it will be fast.
Camera
It has an 8.0 MP Camera with flash. The quality is good.
The video recording is also good.
Overview
The phone is good, is well made, good touch screen and it's fast. And the most important thing: It is ANDROID based. It's not heavy so it don't look like a brick in your pocket.
If i recommend it? Of course. Instead of paying more than $600 USD for a iphone 5 i can have this one for more than half a price, with the same look and with a good performance.
Link of the website: http://www.thecheapchoice.com/en/sm...n-dual-core-cpu-8mp-camera-android-phone.html
For the ones who say that chinese phones don't worth it, it's because you don't know how things are. China is currently the biggest smartphones productor of the globe.
There are hundreds of different phones, brands and models. So before buying one, you must search a lot until you find the correct one.
Some phones are exactly the same apparently, but then there are many brands making it..so, inside chinese clones are clones of clones..
Before buying a Goophone I5 or another Goophone, try to look for genuine ones and not clones like thunderbird, etc.
On that website, they only sell genuine Goohphone's. So if you want to buy one i think is the right place to go.
I hope i helped you out.

Goophone i5 Area
Hi,

Hello! I think this Galaxy S4 clone with Air Gestures named No.1 S6 is interesting. It has quad-core MT6589T 1.5GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, 5.0-inch HD IPS screen, 13.0 megapixel back camera, and reportedly compatible battery and accessories with the original Samsung Galaxy S4. View the complete specifications of the phone here: http://www.budgetandroidphones.com/no-1-s6-with-gesture-control
But the most amazing thing is it also has the so-called Air Gesture like the original S4. Here is a video of the phone:
Well, you might notice in the video that the logo was covered. It was done because of copyright issues. No.1 S6 is an exact Galaxy S4 clone that even its boot animation and UI is identical with the real thing.
This phone's performance may not completely match the genuine S4 but for a price that's just a fraction of the real thing, it's really worth considering.
Best shop to order it is http://www.chinapadmall.com/no-1-s6. They also have good after sales support afaik

All sites have this phenomenon. I bought a THL W8S black mobile phone on http://www.thlmobilestore.com/ , and after a few days, their customer service said black no goods, so I replaced the white, I agreed, but after a dozen genius shipped to me.
Well, let's not talk about the best shop to buy this phone. Let's discuss the phone itself. Anyone of you tried the No.1 S6 Plus? How is its performance? Is the Air Gesture any good?

In fact No.1 S6 is an oem device. It's released with No.1 brand name, and also as hdc galaxy s4. It's the same device from the same factory, and btw the factory may release the plus version with 2GB RAM

HDC and No.1 total two different Company in china.HDC in china the company Name is huaxing,the No.1 name is ruojiayuan ,and the No.1 Never prepare to produce the No.1 S6 plus.from its phone list,the only prepare to No.1 N3.No.1 M3, No.1 5C,No.1 5S, never heard they prepare to produce a 2G RAM no.1 S6,..see the picture from No.1 Company prepare to made phone;s list.
the other phone is No.1 5S it is clone iphone 5S.don't trust fastcardtech.com 's fake inforamtions.that website always made the name by itsself.but the original factory never produce.
HDC galaxy S4 legend is the same device with No.1 S6. Ok? The only difference is the back cover. The devices are made in the same factory. Just fastcardtech and other shops give the oem device without the back cover with No.1 S6 brand name, but with place for logo stickers. No.1 just design phones and gives pattern orders to oem factory
You are wrong,total wrong,.you only head these names from fastcardtech only,in fact HDC never produce HDC galaxy s4 legend,as i know HDC company only produce HDC one,last year,it has HDC one S, HDC one X, besides these phones the HDC never has other phones.and on May the HDC company and dapeng Company has been closed ,becasue its phones won't sell well.in fact.so don't belive these fake name which the official website won't upload .these names are only the website made by itself and want to make it sell
Does anyone has the phone who can post some feedback , at the moment the only website that the description of the phone matches with the N0.1 website is merimobiles , but the phone does not come with the T version of the MTK CPU .

So is HSPA like LTE or 4G? I'm not that knowledgeable about this stuff, I just know that the phone I have now is 4G/LTE.
Do you know if that phone would work with a prepaid phone plan? I was looking at those, and it looks like their data plans only work with 3G phones.

Kolina K100+ Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of5vgp2XS6Q
Tell us some more details about it.
Does it really have NFC?
Does it has CE Label somewhere (Phone or Package)?
Available space left?
Which bluetooth version is there really? 3 or4?
What is inside the package?
Notification LED?
Backlit on Softkeys ?
Do you have other phones with FHD Screen to compare?
I'm interested in this phone.
Can it be upgraded to Android Lollipop? (by any means necessary?)
As far as I read the very few reviews and details of this phone available in the net the only problem I see with it is that it has a very old version of Android installed.
If it can be updated to the latest android version (In my unprofessional opinion I think the phone specs can well handle it) then it would be perfect for simple users like me.
Does anyone have steps on how to update the operating system on this phone?
I really think it has some decent hardware specs and good price.
If it gets updated to a more recent android version it would be nice.
All specs are fantastic.
The most important thing for me is if it will get update to KK (Lollipop is out of the question) and if GPS is locking satellites fast, cause most chinese phones have problem with that matter.
Unbox/Comparison
Found this review on youtube, posted by a reviewer by the username 'mayiandjay'.
Jay unboxes the Kolina 100+, however still waiting on his actual review, but I've been interested in getting this phone too. A few things to be aware of that he mentions is that some these specs may be faked, (i.e. front camera megapixels).
you can see the unbox review here:

You don't buy a phone only because it's cheap.
Having old OS or don't knowing if there will be support for custom recovery and Rom is a deal breaker.

I just need instructions on how I can install stock Kitkat or lollipop on this phone.
Because out of all the specs, the display brightness and operating system version is the only thing I see that may turn me off from purchasing.

Ok found the product page from Etotalk.
Don't pay attention to them.
Since there is still no official 4.4 version out, there is no way that Etotalk can offer a better Rom.
I only hope that soon there will be the official release.

What I was hoping for is that since etotalk seems to have a way of installing their own rom, shouldn't someone be able to install stock android on the device? (or does that how it works?)
It looks like the brightness on the Kolina K100 (170$) is not so great. Therefore I'm doubting between this one and Cubot X9 (140$)
or perhaps I will wait for the Dakele 3 (270$)
Hello, we have so great phone, but i want to sell it! one reason is that - word is talking about Google camera, which have amazing Hdr+ and Best portrait mode... Developer @B.S.G ported this camera for Xiaomi and after other develepers made mod versions for other phones (this mods is working almost at all phones), and this two amazing Mode (portrait, Hdr+) is working great and bad cameras with Gcam mod are shooting great pictures! We have so good smartphone, but camera is not so good that it must to be! And we can't use Google camera mod, because our phone have not full support of Camera2api And no one can to Port this great Camera for XZ Premium users But maybe there is someone who can help us to enable camera2 api and make Gcam mod version for us, it will be great and I think it will be work at our device very good....
I'm sorry for my bad English and I hope sony will make better smartphones, with better camera and design!

Yo dude google camera is indeed improving the picture you took with your smartphone, in fact it's a lot. Take a look at this video comparing <€150 Xiaomi phones with stock camera, Ported google camera, and Google pixel 2, and you can see that the result is night and day compared to the stock camera app, and even matching the photos taken with the Google pixel 2! So don't underestimate this app, it's ported and wanted by many community for a reason, it's not just a ****ty apps in play store, this is the app that makes the google pixel known for its camera.

If this is so, what version are you using? And does HDR+ and Portrait work?
Is your bootloader unlocked or your phone modded?

The google cam version is 5.1.018.177470874.
HDR+ thing doesn't work, in fact the app is detecting my phone's rom as custom ( my phone is NOT unlocked or modded... Yet)
There's no "Portrait mode" but instead the "Lens blur" mode which is actually the same? Correct me if im wrong
The app itself runs smoothly, no crashes. Just like the stock camera app. Just tell me if you want the link though. And i'll try to make comparisons between the stock camera app and google cam app soon. (My connection is so bad rn i can't upload images)

Yeah i forgot about that. It is funny that the primary cameras max is only 8mp but the secondary cam is 13mp max
There is standard google camera, but hdr+ and portrait mode is not there just lens blur and it's take time to take portrait or something. I found thread about unlock camera2api, anyone tried unlock it?

Sadly you need root for that , which is not attainable right now without unlocking the bootloader.
Lack of RAW mode is a real turn off on this Phone, my old Lumia 950XL took amazing photos and had an insanely powerful flash. If I'm completely honest, the camera and flash are the weakest part of this device so I can easily see why folk want to try and mod it. Actually, in an ironic twist, the screen delivers a brighter flash then the actual flash, to bad its the wrong way around to help the camera.
It is very sad that such a good smartphone would turn into this huge disappointment. Most of the camera apps that I've used are Laggy and use only 8mp
Maybe there is someone, who can active full camera2api? And make gcam mod for sony?
hey guys yesterday i bought this phone, and today i saw an artivle that the phone will not come to europe because of the AI. Some functions only work in china.
Do you guys think that it will influence the phone experiance?
For me one of the unique things i want the ai is for pics.
Does someone of you has already the phone?

The camera AI function is enabled by default on my phone (and I setup the phone on non China region which is recommended if you want Google Play out of the box).

Ok thanks. So what are the other ai functions they talking about
Probably yoyo the personal assistant.
I have the phone also. I'm hopeful that yoyo will be released in English, otherwise I think I'd have preferred the p20 pro

The camera is good but not great. It will work well for most people. The wide angle is nice and some of the AR features are fun to play with.
The speakers are probably less than you would like. They aren't bad for YouTube but not loud if you want music in a less quiet environment.
I'll gladly try to answer any other questions.
Hey
How is netflix on it, does it support HD or even HDR content and what about other players like amazon video/youtube?
Is the button used for Yoyo reconfigurable? or just a waste of a button?
