[Warning] Fake m8

I thought that it could be usefull for m8 buyers
to show some devices that are NOT original.

(did not find it on the forum and saw those for the first time so i hope no one posted it allready)







If you got other examples: share them ,
new arrivals will be happy with the warning ;-)

Thanks for posting evow, it's a good idea to warn newcomers! Thread stickied!

Meizu M8 start to become a Landmark!
Beware of fakes!

so china even makes clones of the M8?!? :S

It actually look pretty nice, although i know that it is crap compared to the M8

The place of the camera is one BIG fail xD

Maybe we should start some pointers:
-The M8's screen is 720x480, and very sharp, imitators will likely lack this
-The imitators' UI will not be up to par with the M8's

I can't say much more since I don't own one. Anyone who owns one can say a lot more than me.
Probably the biggest giveaway is the screen. It'll be probably be some cheap low-res resistive touch screen.

...but it has two sim cards (you can see the second symbol on the screen...and the slot is underneath the one we see from the top)! maybe meizu should think about that feature!!

thats not a sim card, its a memory stick. anyway i also think that feature would be perfect, the problem its the battery

i believe they will do it , thats really necesary in china now

i wrote that the second one is underneath the one we see from the top. the other slot is a micro sd card...your right.

that is the standart layout for chinese "fake-phones". i have had all the sciphone/hiphone/ciphone etc. and they were all like this phone!

I guess it´s even the same hardware as all the Iphone-Fakes had. Only the cover looks like the M8.

PS: don´t try them...they´re all crappy!!!!!!!!!!!! I sold all my fake-phones after 4 weeks of using!!

no problem,

also take notice that there are 'fake' batteries like you see on the 2 last pictures.
Connection pins are not alligned like the original one´s.


and indeed the memory card is something that would be really great to have on m8...

Another fake one

Meilu M8








Specifications :

GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Dimensions :115*61*13
QVGA 260.000 color screen which is a 2.8 inch touch screen
Supports MP3 music files
Supports 3GP MP4 video files

Meili can be translated to "Beautiful" in english ...

Haha, but i don't think it's beautifull. It looks rather dumb and really cheap, and you can also see that at the specifications.

I say only one thing...
Holly crap LOOL

damn it is ugly!

What's the point in cloning a M8??!! It's a Chinese name brand phone Wow

For the "chinese clone industry", chinese or non chinese brand is not a problem. To be honest, a chinese brand is best to clone, because you dont have to export your product out of you country.
But maybe chinese government is more dangerous than european one.

how is your m8 ? is it real iphone killer or only a good clone ? are you recommend this phone to me ? and thanks for your message

In some points it's better, in some points it's worse.
The best (for me) of the M8:
- Music player
- No iTunes
- Interface
- Hardware quality
- Interchangeable battery
- Customization

The worse:
- Annoying bugs
- Few applications
- Bad camera

In any case, this is not the best topic to ask about this... I recommend you look at the rest of the forum, there are much information about M8

thanks .....

last quesitons how is the sms writing? ı need fast and easy touchpad . has it got ?
