00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:13.360
Apple products have long been seen as being more than they are this isn't just

00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:16.840
a phone and this isn't just a

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:18.439
laptop they're status symbols and

00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:22.960
wherever there's a status symbol there's a knockoff I'm sure

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:27.840
you've seen them online much cheaper than an iPhone thinking maybe it's just

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:34.800
as good well that would require buying one and so we did clearly there's

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:36.120
something to this it's frankly iconic

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:41.280
but at some point you're going to have to use this thing and that's real

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:51.039
pay whoa here it is so this box looks an

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:56.800
awful lot like the iPhone box okay on the back we have a high digital camera

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.440
face recognition this is definitely not

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:06.080
packaged as nicely as an Apple device Apple famously doesn't use any plastic

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:12.240
in their packaging whereas this uses a

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.439
lot whoa a headphone jack Apple would

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:20.880
never include that whoo a screen protector that's amazing Apple would

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:23.119
never include that wa USBC Apple only

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:28.040
just included that and then we have a three camera bump just like the iPhone

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:32.920
wow it is uncanny how terrible this looks

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:37.880
wao it runs Android keep the moving pieces is open the camera switch to

00:01:35.399 --> 00:01:43.479
video mode we make moving pieces here that's what Mac Address is most known

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:45.640
for this is the slowest phone I've ever

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:52.520
used while this is loading you might notice that there is a notch Dynamic

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.560
Island it's literally just a blank black

00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:58.640
thing printed onto the glass why would you do that this speaker's

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:05.360
horrible that's it let's open up the camera now

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:09.240
there's three lenses on here unfortunately system UI has

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.200
stopped this is infuriating okay let's try Force

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:22.120
shutting this off you know this reminds me of how slow that iMac we bought that

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:28.200
refurbished iMac with an a spinning internal drive so we were trying to

00:02:25.239 --> 00:02:32.120
figure out the camera that's what we were trying to do then it takes so long

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:38.159
to load things in this you literally forget what you're doing this is very

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:43.720
strange the selfie camera looks kind of

00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.720
good there's no Zoom there's no this

00:02:45.959 --> 00:02:50.720
I the cameras are fake let's go to the

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.480
Apple website oh there we go you know when a

00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:02.480
device is this slow you kind of start second guessing yourself did I really

00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.480
click on the internet browser oh it's

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:14.040
loading the browser isn't responding do you want to close it wait okay I wanted

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:20.879
to look at this website this phone's terrible I've never

00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:23.239
use it but you have to use it no no I

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:28.920
did have to use the thing and boy do we find secret lurking underneath unlike a

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.480
real iPhone correct well despite Apple's

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:36.439
best efforts to lock down iOS it's still vulnerable to spyware have you heard of

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:40.840
Pegasus wor still it's notoriously difficult to spot because of Apple's

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:44.080
sandbox restrictions Certo anti-spyware

00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.439
however can perform a full deep scan of

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:49.760
your iPhone by plugging it into your computer and using their desktop app

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:53.720
after a few minutes any threats detected can be removed with a simple tap of the

00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:58.879
button and now you can stay protected with CTO for even less click the link

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:01.959
below and get 20% off today from the product page it looks looks like they've

00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:06.280
upgraded the iPhone since we've bought it but even our old model advertised

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:12.000
specs that meet or exceed what you'll find on the real iPhone 14 pro 1 TB of

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:21.079
internal storage dual SIM card support a 6.7 in 1440p AMOLED display 16 GB of RAM

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:24.199
and a very strong 6800 milliamp hours

00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.639
battery these aren't specs to scoff at

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:31.600
and on paper make it seem like it's worth far more than the $300 asking

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:34.240
price and yet the longer you use this

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.280
phone the more you hate it I put a SIM card in here intending to use it as an

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:41.639
actual phone for a bit that plan was quickly dashed though when it kept

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:46.680
telling me there was no SIM card inserted did I put them in backwards or

00:04:44.840 --> 00:04:51.919
would detect the SIM card and then tell me I have no service no service no

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:55.400
service and it frequently switches between these states without any Rhyme

00:04:53.960 --> 00:05:00.199
or Reason this is something that persisted across both slots making it

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:04.759
entirely useless as an actual phone but hey it's still got Wi-Fi which would be

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:10.320
great if that worked reliably unlike the SIM card I could get

00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:15.720
this to connect to Wi-Fi it took about a dozen attempts across several networks

00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:17.520
but it did eventually work however even

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:21.440
if the shockingly unresponsive home screen decided to cooperate and launch

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:26.280
an app it would often show a connection error or load indefinitely assuming the

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:31.639
phone hadn't disconnected from the Wi-Fi of its own volition by this point you

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:35.319
using this thing is a test of patience for example I have not been able to

00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:40.840
download any apps onto the phone because the Play Store rarely loads and even

00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:45.080
when it does it becomes so unresponsive it's basically useless and good luck

00:05:43.479 --> 00:05:48.639
force closing an app to try and get things moving again since the navigation

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:53.600
bar at the bottom often disappears without reason even if you can get to

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.639
the ad manager it too will often freeze

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.800
the web browser works surprisingly well compared to everything else on here

00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:03.919
though it's far from an ideal experience with janky scrolling and web pages

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:08.120
awkwardly scaling the other thing I noticed on

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:13.919
here is that the browser the notification shade even the settings

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:16.880
page look kind of old in fact I'd swear

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:22.560
this looks like Android 7 which is peculiar because this device claims that

00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:24.560
it's running Android 12 since I clearly

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:29.199
can't trust any of the claim specs I set out to test them so for example I wanted

00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:34.240
to test the 1 tbte storage by copying a bunch of videos onto the

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:36.039
drive this is going to take forever I

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.759
can't believe this Cable's working it's it's a big surprise cuz we've all month

00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:45.720
haven't been able to get any cables to work no matter what cable and power

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:50.639
source we used it wouldn't charge or show up as a connected device the only

00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:57.199
way we could even charge it was through a USB current

00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.240
tester what we also couldn't download

00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:07.800
any music or videos since we can't download any apps we even resorted to

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:12.520
Bluetooth File Transfer which also failed and would have taken forever and

00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:17.319
did you catch when I said it doesn't charge it doesn't charge using this

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:19.080
charge port but don't worry because the

00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:24.000
iPhone 14 pro does come with wireless charging through mag

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:28.599
safe I guess that means if I want to test the battery capacity I'm going to

00:07:26.440 --> 00:07:33.759
have to do it by tearing it down let's see what Mr we can uncover are you able

00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:38.360
to tell me what is exactly in here of course I can let's do it what we're

00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:42.400
going to get is an ADB device connection so that way we can talk to the system

00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:48.199
without listening to all the lies that it's telling us on the there's a lot

00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.280
this is Android 6 ah here we go Hardware

00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:57.639
SP 7731 GAA that is a spread Tri a what CPU so

00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:03.720
spread Trum is a Chinese s so men manufacturer so it's a

00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:07.520
quad core 1.2 GHz spread from s so yeah how many cores do you say this

00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:14.879
was supposed to have I think it was was like 8 core o LCD density is not looking

00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:18.360
good 240 that seems accurate actually

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:21.680
well the display is only 480 X

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:24.759
1014 what yep it said it was more than

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:28.720
that I'm sure it did that's not 1080p

00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:30.280
it's not hey Brandon what's up does this

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:36.440
have an OLED screen um no you could see the blacks

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:41.080
from the screen versus the phone not nearly as dark so I was lied

00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:47.959
to uh sure okay how much RAM 1 gab what of RAM

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:54.040
it has 1 gig of RAM but it said it had eight and the phone if you look it says

00:08:51.279 --> 00:09:01.200
it has 16 you can see down at the bottom the VM allocation total is saying 16 but

00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:01.200
it actually only has one

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:08.600
so what's going on with the other 15 it doesn't exist this phone has been

00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:15.279
so slow it's because it's trying to fill up memory it doesn't have so what about

00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:17.920
the storage it's 16 GB total so

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:22.720
essentially it has the amount of storage that it claims it has in RAM correct

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:28.680
it's full of lies so I think the last thing we need to find out is the battery

00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:37.040
cuz it says it has like a over 6,000 mAh battery how can we do that we take it

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.040
apart let's get it all nice and

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:43.920
toasty there is not much in this phone

00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:47.839
it doesn't even fill the space they've got a very large gap around the battery

00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:51.320
maybe that's just in case it swells up despite our best efforts we are

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:55.040
completely unable to unearth the truth about the battery's capacity even when

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:59.320
inputting the battery model number in Google we got zero results so we

00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:04.839
actually don't know how about the battery is no safe to say this thing

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:11.640
disappointed in pretty much every way imaginable but the most shocking part is

00:10:07.160 --> 00:10:11.640
how much this costs it's what it's

00:10:12.040 --> 00:10:19.160
$300 at that price it costs far more than many budget Android phones from the

00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:24.760
likes of Samsung and Nokia and frankly while it may look like an iPhone at a

00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:31.959
distance I mean you could get a used real iPhone from a few years ago for

00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:31.959
similar money and that'll be way

00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:39.959
better this thing is in every single way

00:10:37.079 --> 00:10:45.600
a scam it is the worst knockoff product I've ever seen used or could even

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:48.000
imagine and literally burning $300 would

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:52.160
be more useful than buying this probably better for the environment

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:55.920
too thanks for faking this Mac Address if you've owned any knockoff products

00:10:53.839 --> 00:10:58.760
yourself give this video a like and if you want to learn more about real

00:10:57.880 --> 00:11:06.839
products then you might as well subscribe I'm curious in the comments below what knockoff products that look

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:11.600
like Apple devices you've bought and how that experience was was as bad as this

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:14.839
this is even worse than I could have ever imagined
