Unfortunately we live in a world where people are willing to buy fake brands just to “fit in” like Patrick Bateman would say. And I guess the manufacturer of these devices knows it.
Actually there are tons of these no name brands that actually have really good specs for a low price, but the issue is you won't find them outside of China/SEA, and even there you really have to look for them because people would rather buy Samsung/iPhone/Xiaomi for their brands. Also the thing with these phones is that they don't have the best battery and are more to impress at first rather than last, and that is partly why not many people buy them either. Also if you need to fix them, you don't really have any brand repair shop to go to, and you have to take it to some corner one where the phone will lowkey come out in a worse condition than it came in, because it's some 17 years old kid with screwdriver and 0 f*cks to give fixing it. So I don't really think those products will catch on anywhere really and they didn't catch on in SEA or China either. That's why you simply don't see them. You only see those fake iPhone brands because some people will actually buy them to fit in with others, or to feel good, I don't know. Anyways same problems apply. Battery will probably not last long after a month of using it.
@@johnzoid74 However tho the downside is there is p35 in it which is bad chip but however since this fake iPhone is more optimized when i see when you use it its actually not that bad its like my mom's vivo y12s (with same chip in that fake iphone)
