5:21 incredible that this phone has one hundred and eight MILLION rear cameras and they were able to maintain such a low price point. Perfect for the tech savvy arachnid of the family
Well, if you consider each pixel a camera, then maybe. Kinda like an insect's composite eye. Then again actual resolution for the only real rear camera was like 8 MP, so...
Good evening from Manchester I always watch your videos right to the end. They are indeed educational for those of us that do NOT dare destroying any devices to see how they look like
Hot-swappable battery, dual sim, microSD, 3.5mm jack and USB-C. These are actually ingredients for a good phone! Wonder if there's a normal stock Android Chinese phone out there (not knock off welcome garbage) that actually uses those specs for a proper budget phone.
Pinephone is similar to what you've stated. It uses Rockchip instead of MT6580 since Rockchip is best in open source hardware department. However its specs is sub-par and not something that you gonna want for mainstream consumption
@@nathanlamaire Yeah, that is basically my issue with these free phones. The features are neat, but the hardware specs are simply to slow, I can just flash a custom rom on my current one and get a better result.
Over the years, I've known people who have the top mobile phones, Apple or Samsung, and have no idea how to use any of the features on them, above making phone calls and texting. They demand these brands to be in fashion. I wonder how many such people actually have one of these and have no idea what's wrong with it?
I wish I was on the stream to donate to you, I love these clone videos! Also, I think It would be quite cool to try flash a generic Android firmware or any other clone custom firmware ripping off a Samsung or something. Great video!
Thanks for the fun informative video. Most people don't spend this much time breaking down scam products, but I really enjoyed the in depth crap breakdown. I love it how the default number for the auto dialer is 911. Yeah, that's not a federal crime or anything.
I don’t have a 14 pro max but I have a regular 14 pro and the camera bump is pretty big and definitely rocks back and forth if I set it on a table or something
I just bought one similar to this for the lels from DHGate. I bought a few Chinese knockoffs when I was younger and wanted to relive some terrible nostalgia 🤣 nah but this stuff always excites me. Got quite a decent deal I think. It was £45 GBP, and it seems to be honest about the specs, for the most part. The listing said it was 3G only, and had 1GB+8GB which I can very much believe XD Just gotta wait for it to arrive now >:(
The sad thing about these is that ppl seriously sat down to make a „clone“ and this is the best they could do and still went for a full production. And there has to be pp, besides RUclipsrs, to buy these because these manufacturers are most likely not doing these phones for fun…
Ive met a guy who actually used one of the better knockoffs of an iphone x back in the day, honestly, it was pretty good to stand out from the black plastic phones everyone still had
Your special talent of adding the letter "r" to simple words like "go" or "to" is impressive. How the heck do you see the word "go" and say to yourself "gouer"
I used to own a phone store in Virginia, a guy came in wanting to activate a fake iphone XR From first glance it looked funny..when I tried to turn it off..it went to the bootloader menu.
14:22 The second number is from a call center in Athens, Greece. I immediately recognized it because I saw it (for the most part) and had them call me just yesterday, promoting some power plan that I was not interested at all. I think they hung up because they would get charged a fuck ton for even three minutes.
Weird to think that if you take this super cheap knock-off back to 2010, it would hold its own against most phones back then. It's just crap compared to everything nowadays.
At the end of most videos, Smorrez says that he is not the best reviewer. I disagree. I think you are pretty good at reviewing phones. I really enjoy your content, and I think I have been here either 50 or 40k subs. Not sure on that one.
14:33 The PayPal link it's actually the real deal, it redirects you to PayPals site, wouldn't recommend using it if you're already logged into PayPal though.
Hey smoorez! Been binging your videos ever since I found you about 2 weeks ago, could you do a review of the LG Voyager VX10000? Thanks for your awesome content!
The video quality is the best you have had on one of these, still not great, but ok frame rate, excellent sound quality, and reasonable detail in the video. The microphone quality is great though
Love the reviews😂😂😂😂. Review: Took it to the apple genius bar for support, got laughed out of the store and ran out of the store with my pants around my ankles crying.😮
I like that the back comes off. This is the way my old android phones are. Access to the battery. Nice to be able to replace the battery and not have the sim card in the side. My new phone yelled at me to not ever try.
Thanks for the review, I was looking to get a cheap Android to root and use Kali nethunter and other fun operating systems on. I think this might meet my specs.
This is a way for these people in China to sell of very old stock to people for a pretty big profit. There are probably many warehouses in China full of circa 2012 cell phone parts and components that sell for half pennies on the dollar.
You know, if this was honestly priced for what it is (say, €50-60ish) it would not be such a bad deal for people who want no more than a 2015-2016 spec smarthphone . Then again you could buy the real deal e.g. a used Samsung J6 from that era with better quality and support, or a modern budget RedMi.
Those are the obvious signs this isn't a genuine iFruit product... 🍆📲🙃 iMean: You don't expect that iFruit would ever give their customers useful and e-waste reducing features like removeable batteries and headphone jacks now, would you? 😉
I mean although the "Dynamic Island" looks bad, I'm surprised they actually bothered to attempt to make one instead of just photoshopping the product photos.
It's the laziest iPhone HDC I've ever seen... 😂😂 In China they make UI like the iPhone and dynamic iland too, even the play store is like IOS, and settings, everything... There are various types of fake HDC iPhones, The truth is indeed fake within fake 😅😅
The accessories for the switch from Ali Express or Shein like the joy cons, hard or soft cases, docks , charging cables etc, are they any good? Should I trust the joy cons or docks if I was to order them?
Almost as outrageous and as unfair as the product itself is eBay's attitude towards those that sell them by stating the fake specs rather than genuine ones. I've seen the Goophone variants selling for over £800. Yes, some make it clear that it's not by Apple, but in listing the fake specifications, it hardly matters!
My last trip into the past. Great video. Good looking iphone 14 pro max clone. It has some great points. The camera tests are pretty decent. Some really good looking photos and videos produced. Maybe not as good as the iPhone 12 pro max but still pretty good. Audio may me limited but it's not distorted beyond recognition. RUclips Costa Rica looks awesome too. Colours look pretty good to me, but I'm a poor judge. Games play fairly well. But remember your words to use Open camera or Gcam as you will find the iPhone 15 pro max is absolutely shite. The Devine Mis Riplwy needs to look her best. The timelines have been stretched too much. I can feel them pulling me baaaaaaa
Hey @Smoorez, yesterday a welcome device showed up at my work for repair. I can't remember what the name was, but I think you might have done a review on it (if not I'll try and get my hands on one and send it). It was a normal looking android 5ish phone with the android buttons on the digitiser and not on screen, and it also had a notch for the front camera on the top chin, not in the display! I should have taken a photo but I forgot:/ any idea what it might have been?
Could have been the horrible Welcome X-Serles X27 (which had a notch which was just painted on, the actual front camera wasn't even on the notch, it was somewhere else in the top bezel) which SMOOREZ's unit had a semi-defective touch screen.
My God man I've never seen keep their scores that low Jesus Christ thank you for your channel you probably have saved people thousands of dollars single core 66 really
I'm not sure how much crossover this channel gets with History Matters; but, at the end there I was half expecting to hear "James Bisonette" and "Kelly Moneymaker".

smoorez , plz see this , i found a HP HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF in a council cleanup and i can finnaly move on from my 2007 street find imac
What are those trainers you're wearing in the camera test bud? Might need to get myself a pair 🔥
5:21 incredible that this phone has one hundred and eight MILLION rear cameras and they were able to maintain such a low price point. Perfect for the tech savvy arachnid of the family
I'm crying I didnt even see that
Can't beat the Rubik's cube technology
@@siopapuOr the adbot dualcore sensor
Well, if you consider each pixel a camera, then maybe. Kinda like an insect's composite eye. Then again actual resolution for the only real rear camera was like 8 MP, so...
This is what we are here for. What an excellent specimen of knock off craftsmanship. Superb!
hmmm..... my screen reader thought you said crapsmanship. 🙂
Fun fact: that file manager was used on Sony Xperia phones around 2014
I thought file commander was Sony's. I think you were talking about generic file manager.
You could take it to the apple store and ask them whats wrong with it:-)
😂😂😂
😂
They'll just tell you it's a clone. don't waste your time.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@joefrancisochia5406 I honestly doubt it.
This phone snatches red packets faster than any other phone I've owned. 10/10
😂
Good evening from Manchester
I always watch your videos right to the end.
They are indeed educational for those of us that do NOT dare destroying any devices to see how they look like
18:37 Im laughing so hard, “Unclock Screen” 😂
Hot-swappable battery, dual sim, microSD, 3.5mm jack and USB-C. These are actually ingredients for a good phone! Wonder if there's a normal stock Android Chinese phone out there (not knock off welcome garbage) that actually uses those specs for a proper budget phone.
Pinephone is similar to what you've stated. It uses Rockchip instead of MT6580 since Rockchip is best in open source hardware department. However its specs is sub-par and not something that you gonna want for mainstream consumption
Other than the battery, any entry level Oppo has those specs and more.
@@nathanlamaire Yeah, that is basically my issue with these free phones. The features are neat, but the hardware specs are simply to slow, I can just flash a custom rom on my current one and get a better result.
Agreed no need for the sarcastic review. Dynamic island is garbage anyway.
Congratz on not completely destroying the display completely, I've enjoyed the video.
Over the years, I've known people who have the top mobile phones, Apple or Samsung, and have no idea how to use any of the features on them, above making phone calls and texting. They demand these brands to be in fashion. I wonder how many such people actually have one of these and have no idea what's wrong with it?
29:09 I have not seen a radio application since the samsung corby i had back in like 2011, what a throwback
I wish I was on the stream to donate to you, I love these clone videos! Also, I think It would be quite cool to try flash a generic Android firmware or any other clone custom firmware ripping off a Samsung or something. Great video!
29:02 Big World by Conrad Sewell
This really makes me appreciate the real thing.
Thanks for the fun informative video. Most people don't spend this much time breaking down scam products, but I really enjoyed the in depth crap breakdown.
I love it how the default number for the auto dialer is 911.
Yeah, that's not a federal crime or anything.
the fact Smoorez destroys the phone and it still turns on is to funny, Smoorez I hope you have a great holiday
It's probably because of the Rubik's Cube technology.
@@ZacabebOTG omg yeah it adds extra durability 🤣 no ceramic shield needed
Yeah i know right, mine got destroyed, when i pryed the metal sheild
I love the effort you put in the video I respect that :)
Rubiks cube technology in the camera? Amazing!!!
If only my real iPhone 14 Pro Max had “fingerprint unlocl”. Apple screwed me. 🙃
and I bet it doesn't have rubriks cube technology either
@@peter-s7t Did they? Because I love my phone. Lol
@@peter-s7tno because I love my iphone and will never go back to android
@Red_Ring_Of_Death nothing wrong with loving your phone.. but that also doesn't mean that iPhones are played out and feel antiquated.
@@FahimibnDawud That was a sarcastic post in the first place lol. Hence the upside down smiley.
I don’t have a 14 pro max but I have a regular 14 pro and the camera bump is pretty big and definitely rocks back and forth if I set it on a table or something

We need an update to this!
Still waiting on it arriving, should only be a couple more days!
@@Carcosahead update: it's horrific, and I love it.
@@mordekai_wilde thanks 😆 just like I suspected
OMG you destroyed a vintage Acca Dacca adapter! 😉 Thanx fro the vid, love it.
The sad thing about these is that ppl seriously sat down to make a „clone“ and this is the best they could do and still went for a full production. And there has to be pp, besides RUclipsrs, to buy these because these manufacturers are most likely not doing these phones for fun…
These are the really crappy clones. I'm sure there are more advanced clones out there
I missed the "snatch red packets faster" thing.
48:28 Windows 9x/Me ding sound 🤣😂
Ive met a guy who actually used one of the better knockoffs of an iphone x back in the day, honestly, it was pretty good to stand out from the black plastic phones everyone still had
Your special talent of adding the letter "r" to simple words like "go" or "to" is impressive. How the heck do you see the word "go" and say to yourself "gouer"
why do you pronounce it like "gow"? its an accent, bud
Wait until you discover a thing called 'accents'

This reviews are my second favorite thing on this channel
(my favorite are job lot videos)
Hey smoorez! Been binging your videos ever since I found you about 2 weeks ago, could you do a review of the LG Voyager VX10000? Thanks for your awesome content!
Thanks
At 33:18 you can really see how blurry it is and how little pixels are in the screen
31:51 Is that the emergency services number from the IT crowd?
I find it funny that the phones still work (like this one) whenever you're certain you've destroyed them.
The video quality is the best you have had on one of these, still not great, but ok frame rate, excellent sound quality, and reasonable detail in the video. The microphone quality is great though
The wallpapers are good. Imo, they're the things most worth stealing.
17:24
An Australian guy booping his nose into a fake iphone is not something i wanted, but exactly the thing i needed
at least they were honest by telling that there is only 1 camera on the back
So Was There 1 Terabyte Storage Bro?
iPhone: ❌USB-C, ❌Headphone Jack
iClone: ✔USB-C, ✔Headphone Jack
And removable battery
I thought the 4 cameras on my phone were a lot, but that has 108 MILLION cameras? That's just amazing! 😀
That dynamic island is exactly what I thought it was hahah. Appreciate that you actually investigated it!
Bro the nose print unlock was hilarious 😂😂😂
That thing uses the new Static Island feature, very nice!
At least that one turns on 💀
Did you peel the battery label to find out the real capacity ?
The face unlock really got me 🤣
Love the reviews😂😂😂😂.
Review: Took it to the apple genius bar for support, got laughed out of the store and ran out of the store with my pants around my ankles crying.😮
you should turn on stats for nerds whenever you do the RUclips test, I'd love to pause and read some of them
This channel deserves more subs
Lets goooo!!!! im in a Smoorez review!!!!
I like that the back comes off. This is the way my old android phones are. Access to the battery. Nice to be able to replace the battery and not have the sim card in the side. My new phone yelled at me to not ever try.
What if you download an ios launcher on it
I suggest checking out the Turkish copy, it's amazing.
Thanks for the review, I was looking to get a cheap Android to root and use Kali nethunter and other fun operating systems on. I think this might meet my specs.
APPLE SOFTWARE WITH THE SAMSUNG NAVIGATION BAR AT THE BOTTOM XD
Is that L.A. Noire music I hear?
I like how HDR on these phones does the opposite of HDR
could you please make a backup of this rom? a lot of us bouht the same iphone and got bricked after 1-2 days. Thx a lot :)
My man accent sounds like he has a month full of R's
it probably did actually have 16gbs... of DDR -20
Replacable battery and a 3.5mm jack. An iPhone clone that has better user features than an iPhone.
This is a way for these people in China to sell of very old stock to people for a pretty big profit. There are probably many warehouses in China full of circa 2012 cell phone parts and components that sell for half pennies on the dollar.
Thanks for the review. I will definitely be purchasing
Friend , i have bricked same model, can you read scatter file ?
You know, if this was honestly priced for what it is (say, €50-60ish) it would not be such a bad deal for people who want no more than a 2015-2016 spec smarthphone . Then again you could buy the real deal e.g. a used Samsung J6 from that era with better quality and support, or a modern budget RedMi.
I love the removable back, dual physical sims, SD card and headphone jack.
Those are the obvious signs this isn't a genuine iFruit product... 🍆📲🙃
iMean: You don't expect that iFruit would ever give their customers useful and e-waste reducing features like removeable batteries and headphone jacks now, would you? 😉
i ordered my oneplus 8 pro from aliexpress in 2021 and this is still serves me great.
Dynamic island became a dynamic archipelago…
I laughed
I mean although the "Dynamic Island" looks bad, I'm surprised they actually bothered to attempt to make one instead of just photoshopping the product photos.
They are not that clever to do that... 😂😂😂
Without the back and the stick on pill, I wonder what phone this is supposed to be. Is it just one model of a mass production that they modified?
It's the laziest iPhone HDC I've ever seen... 😂😂 In China they make UI like the iPhone and dynamic iland too, even the play store is like IOS, and settings, everything... There are various types of fake HDC iPhones, The truth is indeed fake within fake 😅😅
2:52 they are also all posted on the exact same day 😂
if the rear camera can only record 720p that also measn the SoC can only render 720p max
The accessories for the switch from Ali Express or Shein like the joy cons, hard or soft cases, docks , charging cables etc, are they any good? Should I trust the joy cons or docks if I was to order them?
As an android phone with that big a screen and that performance it’s actually incredible value.
Almost as outrageous and as unfair as the product itself is eBay's attitude towards those that sell them by stating the fake specs rather than genuine ones. I've seen the Goophone variants selling for over £800. Yes, some make it clear that it's not by Apple, but in listing the fake specifications, it hardly matters!
My last trip into the past. Great video. Good looking iphone 14 pro max clone.
It has some great points. The camera tests are pretty decent. Some really good looking photos and videos produced. Maybe not as good as the iPhone 12 pro max but still pretty good.
Audio may me limited but it's not distorted beyond recognition.
RUclips Costa Rica looks awesome too. Colours look pretty good to me, but I'm a poor judge. Games play fairly well.
But remember your words to use Open camera or Gcam as you will find the iPhone 15 pro max is absolutely shite.
The Devine Mis Riplwy needs to look her best.
The timelines have been stretched too much. I can feel them pulling me baaaaaaa
If you take the back off, get the camera frame out and put a custom back on it + lineageos, you got yourself a pretty nice phone.
Enjoyed this as usual. Thank you.
The advertising part of the video killed me… what was the descriptions of the phone 😂😂😂
Finally!!
Also np for the donation! 😊
Man, you had me cracking up this whole video
Hey @Smoorez, yesterday a welcome device showed up at my work for repair. I can't remember what the name was, but I think you might have done a review on it (if not I'll try and get my hands on one and send it). It was a normal looking android 5ish phone with the android buttons on the digitiser and not on screen, and it also had a notch for the front camera on the top chin, not in the display!

@@brandontechnerd sorry I meant the notch was on the frame, and the chin started under it lol. Worse
the 1.2 megapixel front camera of the iphone 5s takes far better pictures than a lot of 5mp front cameras of cheap phones, mp is not everything
Mr @smoorex how many days it took Ali express to ship that phone to you
My God man I've never seen keep their scores that low Jesus Christ thank you for your channel you probably have saved people thousands of dollars single core 66 really
At least it is more repairable than the real i14, has a headphone jack and USB C! Way better in this respect than the real deal!
What is the name of the jazz song please?
I'm not sure how much crossover this channel gets with History Matters; but, at the end there I was half expecting to hear "James Bisonette" and "Kelly Moneymaker".
