You want to know how crazy the cell phone market has become? Well you don’t have to look any further than this iPhone clone out of China. We’re talking about a complete touchscreen handset which costs less than a pair of socks in the West. And the specs aren’t totally horrible either.
The i5 5G5s phone features a 4 inch touchscreen, dual SIM, dual standby, Bluetooth A2DP, FM radio, microSD card support up to 8GB, stereo speakers, dual 1.3 megapixel cameras front and back with flash and an MP3/MP4 player for music and video. And it supports four languages (English, German, French and Polish).
The thing comes with a Lithium battery which gives 100 hour standby and 2-3 hours talk time, and will work on all GSM/GPRS networks (quad band). Yes you spotted the deliberate omission, there’s no 3G. But hey, do you want us to repeat the price? OK we will. It’s $20.99. For the Brits that’s £12.80.
Yeah crazy.

For the price and the features on it I would be highly surprised if it ran any Android. I would imagine it is similar software on board as a cheap candy-bar phone you can buy for $10 and should be treated as similar. The only positives beyond a dirt cheap Nokia candy-bar phone is the fact it has touch screen abilities and designed to look like a modern iPhone style, so in effect it looks a lot “posher” than it is. Beyond that I am pretty sure most of the features are similar to phones you could buy cheap even as far back as 6 or 7 years ago, albeit the dual-sim card which is a fairly new feature mobile manufacturers seem to be swinging towards.
Yes agreed Paul, although I would add that the dual SIM, dual standby is a pretty excellent feature on a phone this cheap, and one I haven’t seen before at all at this level.
Hello Again …
One More Question … Does it Have a MicroSD slot ???
