It's actually crazy that companies like this out effort in replicating popular devices instead of pushing their products to the limit which actually makes it worth buying
There goes a lot of research and development in designing a device from scratch, these clone devices usually have a motherboard layout that's already available and widely used including the chipsets , so no debugging no testing just throwing a custom version of Android ui (which is also widely available) at it and it will run it like nothing. Not having to deal with customers , no sales etc. For the shells (body) they replicate are made available by the company they copy here being samsung itself for third party parts manufacturing.
R&D for a device isn't cheap That's why they go with pre-made template, like some Chinese companies has similar products, just different in components Like one has Helio G99, other just using cheap CPU
Most ultra cheap MediaTek based phones (even branded and/or recent) have a fake or pseudo proximity sensor. It's basically an upper part of the touchscreen, like if you're calling someone, your ear touches this part and the "sensor" sends respective data to turn off the screen.
I remember when some clones had light sensitivity trough the front camera and the phone basically ate trough the battery because the front camera was basically permanently active.
I have an Samsung S8 and tell you what, it really has seen better days, so here are all the things that are broken. (Screen is cracked on the top left with 3 small black dots) (Screen is burned in) (Bixby button is gone) (The power button is kinda getting loose) (The frame is kinda scratched up) (The accelerometer doesn't work anymore) (The volume rocker is scratched up, especially the lower one) But i gotta tell you it's still going strong.
I had a Note 3. Seeing this, I can remember bringing it home. Remember how it felt. Definitely an odd phone even for the time with all of its odd, plasticky details. Like the cheap kitchen table looking chrome edges, and the weird "stitched" plastic back. I like how colorful the UI elements and stuff are, but there was always a weird blandness to Samsung's take on all of this, even though they were also using a lot of color. 8:46 The fact they screwed up the time format means they might've had a student or something put the widget together and they knew how to format strings and things, but didn't know that there's already functions for creating time strings that will respect the user's locale. 20:48 Better to have more reasonable expectations than this playing 4K videos but yeah it might just have no way to play videos out of the box.. I do remember the note 3 could play 1080p videos and I was impressed, it was exceptional for the time. I wouldn't expect this to do all that well past 480p...
This was $900 in 2013. If you account for inflation, their new devices are cheaper. Also, what innovation is there left to do? Smartphone have pretty much peaked until we get new battery or hardware advancements
@@seff6533 Mhm, let's see. They took away removable batteries, headphone jacks, and software simplicity. Those were the better days of Android, right before Google made it worse. And everyone started copying Apple for some reason.
Yeah whoops, my bad. I sat there and looked at that spec sheet and was fine with it so it just completely went over my head. I'm sure people will hear me say it all anyways.
I actually used a note 3 from 2021 to 2022 , it had been rooted , on Android 11 . If you do have one still get the surround sound mod , and overclock it. I managed to get the battery life from 1.5 hours down to about 20 minutes
You could 3d print mad hax adapters. It would be fairly simple, just measure the dimensions you would need, type it in, and print for an hour. I could do it for you if you want, hit me up
the funniest thing about this company is that they have no shame in copying the other phones and call it a day. this had some effort tbh, and the led was perfect tho XD i love the note phone, and i found in 2020 the note 10 lite and boi it's still amazing today! i don't change phone easily, and i wanted the ultra but it doesn't have any jack!! wtf smasnug?? anyway, that note 3 it's still cool to see even today, and even lollipop is now quite old. still works but it's 50/50 tho.

Be good people!
that's a quite a bit of a copy paste there 😅
imagine using the note 3 as a daily driver with a custom rom 💀
What a goofy name for a phone
I was fully expecting it to be a Java phone
It's actually crazy that companies like this out effort in replicating popular devices instead of pushing their products to the limit which actually makes it worth buying

R&D for a device isn't cheap
That's why they go with pre-made template, like some Chinese companies has similar products, just different in components
Like one has Helio G99, other just using cheap CPU
It's quite disturbing how long the clone companies used the MT6572
Called m-horse but behaves like a m-pony
6580 now, but I think it's slowly phasing to at least 6737 since 3G support is slowly dying globally
@4bafiafzil999 No, I am specifically talking about the 6572-based clones companies started making in 2013 and continued all the way up to 2022.
brings back a lot of middle school memories with tons of clones suddenly popping out
crazy that theres now 2 new attack of the clones episodes now imo 💀 well done smoorez.
Note 10+ daily driver from Germany here!! 😃
Imagine in 2013, people laugh at phones as large as Note 3. And it was called phablets then.
Most ultra cheap MediaTek based phones (even branded and/or recent) have a fake or pseudo proximity sensor. It's basically an upper part of the touchscreen, like if you're calling someone, your ear touches this part and the "sensor" sends respective data to turn off the screen.
I remember when some clones had light sensitivity trough the front camera and the phone basically ate trough the battery because the front camera was basically permanently active.
one of these days, you're going to open a bootleg phone, and you'll just get a mismatched battery held in by blue tack.
The Samsung galaxy note 3 was my first decent speed, smart phone. Before that I had a Nokia N8 and that phone was extremely laggy.
if you used a custom rom, then its okay.
I have an Samsung S8 and tell you what, it really has seen better days, so here are all the things that are broken.
(Screen is cracked on the top left with 3 small black dots)
(Screen is burned in)
(Bixby button is gone)
(The power button is kinda getting loose)
(The frame is kinda scratched up)
(The accelerometer doesn't work anymore)
(The volume rocker is scratched up, especially the lower one)
But i gotta tell you it's still going strong.
strange that battery is still good? i replaced battery 2 times on an s7 edge
7:43 "professional phone reviewer certified 2024"
I believe they trying to name their products "Morse" but they ended up as M-HORSE

A company that makes intentional clones and advertises that???? Damn
That's Chinese companies for you
Even some good Chinese brands get some fake clones/copies too
smoz, I'm not that northern as in Kamchatka (if that was supposed to be an easter egg)
also the January Firsth was pretty hehe
14:01 fun fact: this ringtone is from aosp itself.
Samsung or not, let’s all agree that these were the best years of Samsung! Back when they actually innovated, and were pretty affordable.
for, real.
This was $900 in 2013. If you account for inflation, their new devices are cheaper. Also, what innovation is there left to do? Smartphone have pretty much peaked until we get new battery or hardware advancements

9:04 it says "December 22tooth" lol
I checked the system files on the internet archive, but it has nothing? did you do it properly?
Checked it from my end and it's there. Probably internet archive being iffy
12:52 its basically gboard (also the aosp keyboard) if you haven't recognized it.
Well hello smuz btw luv yer vids
They ripped the font too! Damn! That's HERMES font. (like the luxury leather/bag company)
1:51 Isn't Android Lollipop Android 5?
Yeah whoops, my bad. I sat there and looked at that spec sheet and was fine with it so it just completely went over my head. I'm sure people will hear me say it all anyways.
@@SMOOREZ Yeah, and I also didn't see it at first.
31:24 probably a repurposed motherboard like the digidou phone
9:09 come on Smuz, it's pronounced "december twenty-tooth"
Everyone knows that.
They teach it in schools
Twenty-tooth.
Twenty-two-eth.
who tf named their phone brand M🐴
Geniuses.
Because everyone loves 2 say "horsey !"
Bmw fans maybe
i went from a note 3 to a 14 pro max .... yeah

The IMEI comes back as an "M-Horse Z90"

just a few days ago i got a note 3 lollll great timing
Got me a Note 3 clone myself.
It's mostly the same minus any branding..
i guess it's also an "M-Horse"?
it's an N8000.
Yes 10 years ago I used to buy the stupidest named Chinese phones I could find , "technology happy life" Elephone" (had picture of elephant on it , "cubot" to name a few. They all had huge batteries for the time , all could do otg which main brands didn't , also dual SIM and SD card . Great fun and more attention than having a Samsung at the time

one of my relatives was using this phone in 2014-ish.
Fun fact about the real Note 3: the model with Snapdragon 800 is more powerful than Note 5 with Exynos. Yea a 2013 phone is more powerful than its 2015 successor.
Yeah that makes sense. Bless the "really good" Exynos :p
m in m-horse stands for mobile ?
not early but another clones (m-🐎)
25:39 I'VE BEEN A G🗣
small mistake in 2:23, android 6 is written as android lollipop, it should be 5.
also odd to see a note clone without a pen lol
Should i fix it and re-upload it? I'll just add a note in the pinned comment.
@@SMOOREZ ohno was just pointing it out, sorry if it seemed rude.
No no not at all! It's completely fine, I wouldn't have noticed it unless someone said something so now that I've updated the pinned comment it's all good :)
looks more note 2 than note 3 no ?
Well I had the legit Note 3 next to it to compare it :/
The Note 2 is more rounded.
Em horsey 🦙🐆
Which is horsey ?
🦈?
🐇?
Ur mom is hors
Holy shit, 1 minute ago gang
Thats a clone that I never seen before...Although there are hundreds of note 3 cheap copies out there.
Too bad the autotranslated description ruins this video
Clone Phone and TechImma1st
Don't take my comments seriously. It's only a meme
M-HORSE... What is it copying?
My guess is Samsung and Motorola cause it has the letter M.
Oh no i'm 2 mins late
I had one of these phones, it was shite.
Most likely Mobile Horse
That is a propper clone,
If you use VPN it would work
you need red tack bro
