Goophone, a little-known Chinese company, announced the availability of their new smartphone, the iPhone 5.
The talented and deft Chinese cloned the iPhone 5, which doesn't even exist yet, and ended up with the Goophone i5. That also happens to be the name of the small Chinese company making the device. The developers don't hesitate to say that the device was created using the leaked elements of the 6th generation iPhone. If we are to believe the device's cover image, the Goophone i5 is running Android Honeycomb.

A small company, assembling design changes to produce for the iPhone, decided not to deal with Apple and its lawyers and withdrew from the sale of the iPhone 5 back panels. This didn't prevent others from doing the same and finding ways out of similar situations, writes iguides.ru linking to the Cult of Mac.
For those who can't wait to have a device that is similar to the new iPhone 5, there is the Goophone i5. It is a cheap smartphone running Android and there really is nothing interesting about it except that the design is made to look like the iPhone 5.
The unit doesn't even use the latest version of the operating system, the one Apple hates, Android ICS!
The specifications are more in common with the iPhone 4, says onliner.by. The device is based on the MT6575 single-core gigahertz processor with 512 MB of RAM, a 3.5" display with a resolution of 960 x 640 and 2 cameras a 5 MP primary and 1.3 MP front, reports Nowhereelse.
Unfortunately, there is no cost information for this model yet. But, one can easily assume that it will be much less than a real iPhone 5. As reported by supreme2.ru, Goophone also marketed a copy of the iPhone 4S which was said to be very successful.
