Jo帮主要 cry, the highest simulation in history of the iPhone 4 - SoPhone

Imitating well-known models is the most commonly used product design method for knock-off phone manufacturers. In particular, the iPhone 4, this extremely popular and powerful device, has led to countless imitation versions. But do you know to what extent the most realistic ones have gone?

Ordinary knock-off iPhone 4s merely copy the appearance and don't dare to replicate it completely. The system interface either uses icon beautification or employs Windows Mobile or Android systems with a skin overlay. However, there's one knock-off phone, the SoPhone, which has reached the level of being 1:1 identical in both appearance and system. If designing the iPhone 4 was a difficult task for Apple, then it’s even more impressive that the designers of SoPhone managed to adapt the MTK platform to this extent. The SoPhone features a 3.5-inch 480×320 capacitive touch screen, with a body design identical to the iPhone 4. It also includes a 2-megapixel camera, a 1400mAh battery, and 4GB of built-in storage.

The SoPhone uses the MTK6235 solution, and its desktop, settings, phone calls, text messages, image browsing interfaces are indistinguishable from the real iPhone 4. To maintain the realism, many items in the settings menu are non-functional and are just there for show. The price of this phone is only over a thousand RMB, which makes one marvel at the outstanding imitation capabilities of the knock-off industry workers. Steve Jobs would surely be moved to tears if he saw this product. Given the high degree of realism of the SoPhone and the current situation where the iPhone 4 is hard to come by, there will inevitably be many cases of mistaken identity in the future. We hope everyone stays lucky.
