Emgeton Mini One - Windows Powered iPhone Clone

We’ve received a note saying that this Mini One anti-iPhone was coming out at the end of this year. The most notable point is that it has a 720x480 display, which is quite amazing for a 3.3 inch size. Emgeton (a Czech company) claims that this phone is powerful enough to record (and compress) video at 30 frames per second. Finally, it is powered by Windows Mobile 6, which makes me ask: since when does Windows Mobile look so sexy !? This doesn’t look like Windows Mobile. Interesting fact: the display shows Asian characters, hinting at a possible first release in Asia.

Other specs:

* GSM
* Touch-screen
* 3 MegaPixel Camera
* BlueTooth
* TV Out

Is this a clone of the real Meizu M8? It looks like a prototype of the M8 with a new brand name.

EDIT: thanks for clearing this up every one. It is just a rebranded M8.

Emgeton is name which will be used for this phone in central Europe (I'm from Czech). Emgeton purchase other chinese products too but use own name for it.

yes - for example in our coutry there are also Emgeton M6 Cult and Emgeton E5 available. Some people think that this players are made by Emgeton, but this company only buy Meizu products and sell it using their own name.

(sry for my english)

Now those must be chops. I love how they keep the Meizu Logo but write Emgeton all over it lol. That looks nothing like the current M8 design however.

Omg... what kind of clone is this??? Now this IS DEFINITELY a clone... of the M8, not Iphone... Why can't they use an "E" and replace the "M" to make it less obvious, let alone the name "Minione"? LOL....

The Emgeton MiniOne is not a clone, they will just be re-badging the Meizu MiniOne as they did with the M6 Cult and other Meizu players. The images they are using are just early concept designs done by Meizu

Emgeton is NOT a clone! It's just a rebranded Meizu. If Dane Elec is a Meizu clone - I rest my case.

iversonjack · 08-15-2007

That clears everything up then. Case closed.

dravik · 08-15-2007

Doesn't matther to me what it is but it look realy cool

Job · 08-15-2007

to rest assured: not a clone, just a rebrand like dane elec
the original still is the one to go for IMO

mbarry · 08-22-2007

It isn't a clone, it is kind of like Dane-Elec's version of the M6.

Yeah, they even put up a date for its arrival:
EMGETON 55 Years 1951-2006 * MP3/PMP Players, USB/Flash Memory, NXT Speakers, Optical Storages, CD/DVD TAIYO YUDEN Recordable Media, DVD-R TAIYO YUDEN DVD+R DVD-RW DVD+RW CD-R CD-RW CD-R AUDIO TAIYO YUDEN DVD-R TAIYO YUDEN DVD+R TAIYO YUDEN CD-R EMGE
(The web page this links to changes its content from time to time)

I dunno what you guys think, but I kinda like this white design more than the black one. The white is sexy imo TwT.

Blackstar · 07-16-2008

That clone looks kind of bulky in the photos...

Skinny101 · 07-16-2008

It would be funny if it really was a clone, and then the clone was released before the M8

<=~Rex.llvleizu~=> · 07-16-2008

Heh, Skinny101, that would be pretty funny ^o^~.

Regul · 07-16-2008

Hell, I hope Meizu will sell Meizu-branded M8s in Europe, I'd hate to get one of Emegaton or whatever

I must admit that these look really sexy. Especially the black one. Update it a bit, make it rounder (too uncomfortable) and make it brushed aluminium. That's the phone Meizu should make.
