what's up guys Lew here back with another video and today I've got a bit of a mysterious one not just mysterious for you but also myself because I'm not 100% sure what to expect inside of this box as you can tell it's relatively nondescript it just says 3G phone series on the top as well as WCDMA plus GSM smart phone other than that there's no branding no no brand name no graphic so let's go ahead and jump inside the box and see what this thing is all about so first thing you'll see is the device and it's wrapped up in some bubble wrap and has some writing on the screen protector the wireless ap 5 inch HD screen 5 megapixel front camera 13 megapixel back camera Ram 1 gigabyte plus ROM 4 gigabyte 3G connect HD camcorder dual mode dual standby Wi-Fi GPS you've probably noticed at this point that this thing looks a little bit like an iPhone it's obviously got a bigger screen it actually feels kind of impressive from a build quality standpoint given what it is you have your volume up and down switch as well as your power switch on the other side it's moved to this location here the back is plastic but it has a brushed kind of feel to it kind of emulating aluminum or a metallic finish and of course your camera so let's peel this part off the front there we go get rid of that oh there's another screen protector on there as well I don't know I'm gonna leave it on for now I have no idea what I'm dealing with let's try and power this up ooh an android logo so that should tell us a bit of the story already and as that's powering up I'll look at the other items inside the box we have a white headset of course this is after all made to look like an iPhone these are not very high quality earbuds it has an inline microphone USB cable also white micro USB power brick for the wall and a manual with the heading manual on it perfect probably not going to read that so here's the device itself I think we're powered up now are we yes the screen is quite dim okay so there we go I have now maxed out the brightness and you can start to appreciate the wonderful background image that they've selected otherwise this looks like a standard Android device to be honest with you no skin attempting to make it look like an iPhone in any way you can see it has two SIM card slots that's cool a lot of Chinese phones actually do have two two SIM card slots for individuals who travel or have multiple data plans etc I wonder if the back pops off on this thing should you see you there you go the back pops off and you can see you've got your expansion slot for storage and then the WCDMA GSM slot and then a GSM specific slot and of course the battery fits in here it's not easy to get back on yes this is kind of bizarre from a build quality standpoint it sort of feels somewhere between like a galaxy device and an iPhone I guess I'd probably have to change this background so I don't come off as the creepiest dude ever of all time you know it actually feels surprisingly snap it's not terrible it's not the fastest thing I've ever used but it appears to be working whoa now we're sensing some slowness the typing that's fun let's check out the specs on this thing see if we can figure them out model number I six of course attempting to be the iPhone 6 quad-core 4.4.2 let me open up the camera check that out hmm what do I have here not bad pretty fast actually anyways what we obviously have here is an attempt at guessing what the next iPhone might look like and it's packaged in this thing called the i6 but based on the leaks that we've seen and the mock-ups / dummy units that people have gotten their hands on this is probably not what the next iPhone is going to look like this is borrowing most of its inspiration from the previous generation iPhone and just scaled it up in size to a 5-inch device kind of strange but as you can tell in Android experience on something that looks like an iPhone I'm kind of in bizarro land right now playing with this device and imagining an iPhone running Android which might actually be pretty cool wouldn't that be the perfect world where you could pick your hardware and choose whichever OS you wanted I'm obviously dreaming because that's not happening anytime soon time to go change this background and experiment with this phone a little bit more but there you have it the 3G phone series from god-knows-who and a rather crude attempt but maybe this is the closest thing we have to an iPhone running Android is it I don't know all right that wraps up this video and quick look at this strange thing that showed up at my door if you guys enjoyed it and you appreciate these unusual items that come to my mailbox remember to leave a thumbs up down below subscribe if you haven't yet and I will catch you on the next episode later you
