Chinese copycats are always on their toes to release clones of branded smartphones including those from Apple and Samsung and one of the major counterfeiters No. 1 has revealed that it is already working on a clone of yet to be announced Galaxy S5.
This information was first published by Chinese smartphone blog GizChina and according to them No. 1 approached it to reveal their plans.
According to the report, the Galaxy S5 clone is likely to be called No.1 S7 and will be powered by an octa-core Mediatek MT6592 SoC, and will feature 16-megapixel rear camera with OIS (optical image stabilisation). From the photo shared with the Chinese blog, the Galaxy S5 clone doesn’t feature any bezel at all.
No. 1 hasn’t detailed anything else apart from the above specifications; however, from the photo it is evident that the rear has changed a lot as compared to previous Galaxy handsets with camera and LED moving towards the upper left corner. Further it seems that Samsung may also be prepping for an S View cover.
We are sure if the folks over at No. 1 have managed to get their hands onto an actual Galaxy S5 from the factories of Samsung or whether they are trying to pull off a cheap marketing stunt.
