Red Ferret compares the original Apple iPhone to 5 clones from China, and finds that one of them isn’t all that bad.

All 5 comparables were made in China (as is the iPhone itself), are listed below and were assigned ‘credibility scores’ re how close they came to matching the real iPhone:

Desay A8+ …score: 3/10
CECT P168+ …score: 2/10
Desay M888 …score: 4/10
A380i …score: 3/10
i32/HiPhone …score: 6/10

Red F. was surprised by the progress made by the clones and even said that the HiPhone’s score would have been higher if the camera had been better.
