Apple products have long been seen as being more than they are this isn't just
a phone and this isn't just a
laptop they're status symbols and
wherever there's a status symbol there's a knockoff I'm sure
you've seen them online much cheaper than an iPhone thinking maybe it's just
as good well that would require buying one and so we did clearly there's
something to this it's frankly iconic
but at some point you're going to have to use this thing and that's real
pay whoa here it is so this box looks an
awful lot like the iPhone box okay on the back we have a high digital camera
face recognition this is definitely not
packaged as nicely as an Apple device Apple famously doesn't use any plastic
in their packaging whereas this uses a
lot whoa a headphone jack Apple would
never include that whoo a screen protector that's amazing Apple would
never include that wa USBC Apple only
just included that and then we have a three camera bump just like the iPhone
wow it is uncanny how terrible this looks
wao it runs Android keep the moving pieces is open the camera switch to
video mode we make moving pieces here that's what Mac Address is most known
for this is the slowest phone I've ever
used while this is loading you might notice that there is a notch Dynamic
Island it's literally just a blank black
thing printed onto the glass why would you do that this speaker's
horrible that's it let's open up the camera now
there's three lenses on here unfortunately system UI has
stopped this is infuriating okay let's try Force
shutting this off you know this reminds me of how slow that iMac we bought that
refurbished iMac with an a spinning internal drive so we were trying to
figure out the camera that's what we were trying to do then it takes so long
to load things in this you literally forget what you're doing this is very
strange the selfie camera looks kind of
good there's no Zoom there's no this
I the cameras are fake let's go to the
Apple website oh there we go you know when a
device is this slow you kind of start second guessing yourself did I really
click on the internet browser oh it's
loading the browser isn't responding do you want to close it wait okay I wanted
to look at this website this phone's terrible I've never
use it but you have to use it no no I
did have to use the thing and boy do we find secret lurking underneath unlike a
real iPhone correct well despite Apple's
best efforts to lock down iOS it's still vulnerable to spyware have you heard of
Pegasus wor still it's notoriously difficult to spot because of Apple's
sandbox restrictions Certo anti-spyware
however can perform a full deep scan of
your iPhone by plugging it into your computer and using their desktop app
after a few minutes any threats detected can be removed with a simple tap of the
button and now you can stay protected with CTO for even less click the link
below and get 20% off today from the product page it looks looks like they've
upgraded the iPhone since we've bought it but even our old model advertised
specs that meet or exceed what you'll find on the real iPhone 14 pro 1 TB of
internal storage dual SIM card support a 6.7 in 1440p AMOLED display 16 GB of RAM
and a very strong 6800 milliamp hours
battery these aren't specs to scoff at
and on paper make it seem like it's worth far more than the $300 asking
price and yet the longer you use this
phone the more you hate it I put a SIM card in here intending to use it as an
actual phone for a bit that plan was quickly dashed though when it kept
telling me there was no SIM card inserted did I put them in backwards or
would detect the SIM card and then tell me I have no service no service no
service and it frequently switches between these states without any Rhyme
or Reason this is something that persisted across both slots making it
entirely useless as an actual phone but hey it's still got Wi-Fi which would be
great if that worked reliably unlike the SIM card I could get
this to connect to Wi-Fi it took about a dozen attempts across several networks
but it did eventually work however even
if the shockingly unresponsive home screen decided to cooperate and launch
an app it would often show a connection error or load indefinitely assuming the
phone hadn't disconnected from the Wi-Fi of its own volition by this point you
using this thing is a test of patience for example I have not been able to
download any apps onto the phone because the Play Store rarely loads and even
when it does it becomes so unresponsive it's basically useless and good luck
force closing an app to try and get things moving again since the navigation
bar at the bottom often disappears without reason even if you can get to
the ad manager it too will often freeze
the web browser works surprisingly well compared to everything else on here
though it's far from an ideal experience with janky scrolling and web pages
awkwardly scaling the other thing I noticed on
here is that the browser the notification shade even the settings
page look kind of old in fact I'd swear
this looks like Android 7 which is peculiar because this device claims that
it's running Android 12 since I clearly
can't trust any of the claim specs I set out to test them so for example I wanted
to test the 1 tbte storage by copying a bunch of videos onto the
drive this is going to take forever I
can't believe this Cable's working it's it's a big surprise cuz we've all month
haven't been able to get any cables to work no matter what cable and power
source we used it wouldn't charge or show up as a connected device the only
way we could even charge it was through a USB current
tester what we also couldn't download
any music or videos since we can't download any apps we even resorted to
Bluetooth File Transfer which also failed and would have taken forever and
did you catch when I said it doesn't charge it doesn't charge using this
charge port but don't worry because the
iPhone 14 pro does come with wireless charging through mag
safe I guess that means if I want to test the battery capacity I'm going to
have to do it by tearing it down let's see what Mr we can uncover are you able
to tell me what is exactly in here of course I can let's do it what we're
going to get is an ADB device connection so that way we can talk to the system
without listening to all the lies that it's telling us on the there's a lot
this is Android 6 ah here we go Hardware
SP 7731 GAA that is a spread Tri a what CPU so
spread Trum is a Chinese s so men manufacturer so it's a
quad core 1.2 GHz spread from s so yeah how many cores do you say this
was supposed to have I think it was was like 8 core o LCD density is not looking
good 240 that seems accurate actually
well the display is only 480 X
1014 what yep it said it was more than
that I'm sure it did that's not 1080p
it's not hey Brandon what's up does this
have an OLED screen um no you could see the blacks
from the screen versus the phone not nearly as dark so I was lied
to uh sure okay how much RAM 1 gab what of RAM
it has 1 gig of RAM but it said it had eight and the phone if you look it says
it has 16 you can see down at the bottom the VM allocation total is saying 16 but
it actually only has one
so what's going on with the other 15 it doesn't exist this phone has been
so slow it's because it's trying to fill up memory it doesn't have so what about
the storage it's 16 GB total so
essentially it has the amount of storage that it claims it has in RAM correct
it's full of lies so I think the last thing we need to find out is the battery
cuz it says it has like a over 6,000 mAh battery how can we do that we take it
apart let's get it all nice and
toasty there is not much in this phone
it doesn't even fill the space they've got a very large gap around the battery
maybe that's just in case it swells up despite our best efforts we are
completely unable to unearth the truth about the battery's capacity even when
inputting the battery model number in Google we got zero results so we
actually don't know how about the battery is no safe to say this thing
disappointed in pretty much every way imaginable but the most shocking part is
how much this costs it's what it's
$300 at that price it costs far more than many budget Android phones from the
likes of Samsung and Nokia and frankly while it may look like an iPhone at a
distance I mean you could get a used real iPhone from a few years ago for
similar money and that'll be way
better this thing is in every single way
a scam it is the worst knockoff product I've ever seen used or could even
imagine and literally burning $300 would
be more useful than buying this probably better for the environment
too thanks for faking this Mac Address if you've owned any knockoff products
yourself give this video a like and if you want to learn more about real
products then you might as well subscribe I'm curious in the comments below what knockoff products that look
like Apple devices you've bought and how that experience was was as bad as this
this is even worse than I could have ever imagined
