**The iPhone 8 Plus Clone: A Hands-On Review**

As I held the iPhone 8 plus clone in my hand, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity. Would this device live up to its promise as a replica of Apple's flagship smartphone? Let's dive in and find out.

**Design and Display**

The first thing that caught my attention was the design of the phone. It looked like an iPhone 8, complete with a stainless steel frame and glass on both the front and back. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed some inconsistencies in the build quality. The edges were slightly rough, and the buttons felt a bit cheap. The display, too, seemed to be lacking in terms of brightness and color accuracy. It was clear that this phone was not intended for everyday use.

I decided to test the camera by taking a few photos around me, starting from a dark environment and gradually increasing the light. Unfortunately, the results were disappointing. The images suffered from motion blur, even when I stood still. This was particularly noticeable when panning the camera, which seemed to struggle to capture smooth footage. In terms of quality, it's safe to say that this phone's camera is not fit for purpose.

**Performance**

Next up was the performance test, which I conducted using an app and a benchmarking software. I tried to run the benchmark twice, but unfortunately, both times the device crashed, forcing me to restart from the beginning. This lack of stability made it difficult to get an accurate reading of how this phone performs in terms of CPU and GPU power.

**Camera Capabilities**

One feature that I was particularly interested in trying out was the front-facing camera's ability to recognize my face and unlock the device. However, to my surprise, this feature did not work at all. The camera struggled to detect even my own fingerprint, let alone someone else's. This was a major disappointment, especially considering that this phone is trying to pass itself off as an iPhone.

**Battery Life**

I also took note of the battery life in this device. It's surprising how little power it can muster, even after just a few hours of use. I'm not sure what kind of battery tech they used here, but whatever it was, it seems to be lacking.

**Software**

Unfortunately, my attempts at testing the software on this phone were also met with failure. The app I tried would not run properly, and the benchmarking results were consistently poor. It's clear that this device is not a legitimate iPhone clone.

**Hardware Inspection**

To get a better idea of what was going on inside this device, I decided to take it apart and examine its components. When I opened up the back panel, I discovered that it was made of plastic, rather than glass as I had initially thought. The internal design looked... unusual, with multiple components jumbled together in a way that seemed almost chaotic.

**Conclusion**

Overall, my experience with this iPhone 8 plus clone was underwhelming to say the least. While it was interesting to see how it compared to the real thing, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this device at its current price point of $300. You can buy an actual iPhone SE for that price and get a much better phone as a result.

However, if you're looking to take a closer look at what this phone has to offer without spending the full amount on it, then go ahead and buy it. Just don't expect too much in terms of performance or quality.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys forget about the iPhone X today I'll be showing you the iPhone X China edition this one's better than the real one even before that ones been announced just because you can get it to now you don't have to wait for months you don't have to pay thousands of dollars to buy this for just three hundred dollars you guys can own the latest greatest China Edition iPhone X or iPhone eight whatever you want to call it so let's go ahead and unbox the latest offering this is actually the most expensive clone I have ever purchased from China three hundred dollars usually they're about $100 this one comes with top-of-the-line materials top-of-the-line display top-of-the-line everything as far as China Edition goes so let's take a look at that now don't let the appearances fool you this is the latest and greatest from China so it's a little rough on the edges on the packaging but I'm sure inside the well make up for that so let's get in here little unconventional you know they save on the packaging quality to bring you a better product that's at least that's why I think they're doing this popping this in let's see now if you guys remember a little while ago I did share with you the first edition iPhone 8 clone and this one is miles better this one actually represents the original design so it'll be more of a one-to-one not this weird ratio tiny version this one compared to the official as you can see it's very tiny camera lenses elongated kind of weird-looking you know they didn't really know what they were working with first so the display definitely hoo boy that is hideous so that's the other stage hopefully a little bit better packaging is different already and here it is very nice so definitely more representative of the final product here camera sensors are looking a little funky both of them the same size they will not be the same size on the original one of them is going to be slightly bigger than the other just a little bit but so here it is iPhone pretty ok let's see what it says iPhone 8 plus so they didn't get the naming rights on this one but no matter you know as long as the actual product inside is correct so let's go ahead and unbox this guy iPhone 8 plus that would be a real product but it won't be the one with the vertical cameras that's gonna be the iPhone X model okay and here it is so definitely a little bit more accurate since I'd we've got this still not Apple stickers the day a clone comes with Apple stickers is the day I will cry on camera for the first time and this guy feels solid it feels very hefty that's nice the feeling of premium quality just because it's heavy our accessories here unfortunately no bundled ear pods this year but we do have these I wonder do these come with a lightning oh they do so I'm assuming this doesn't have a headphone jack either all right so that is the iPhone eight packaging let's check out the actual product so how do I get this out of here they actually sealed it in so I literally have to cut it out of here okay all right and please be good do they really seal it into both of these Wow airtight okay ooh iPhone and here it is guys look at that they actually put an effort in into getting those curved corners up on top the censor bar and fortunately I'm seeing a little a little difference there from the original there there's a chin on the bottom and on the top where the screen doesn't go all the way through so if I peel off the screen protector look at that there actually is a border here so unfortunately the display on this one does not go all the way up but it is an 18 - 9 - so that makes it the most sophisticated display on an iPhone clone ever and on the back check that outs very clean no FCC labels look it's definitely in tune with more of the original here so this is an early look but still pretty dang good for the real deal or the real clone deal a camera lens looks definitely better than this one you know this design in general I do like it I mean I don't see why people are disliking it it looks cool something different let's go ahead and power it on and by the way this has the longer power button here and hopefully it's charged up here on the bottom we got our lightning port stereo whole just speakers for now and then this one might have a stereo speaker up here who knows tiny status bar cut out there I mean a speaker grille there it is dang that's not bad that gives you a huge user experience and that's a very sharp display so you definitely get what you pay for with this $300 for a clone is no laughing matter let's see how these software does them does it make up for the price so build wise I definitely say it's definitely the most well built clone I felt metal border there this actually might be glass on the back and I'm not sure if I feel about this is it a resistive touchscreen alright so press home to open they actually included a virtual on-screen home button on this guy and as we saw in some of the earlier concepts that is how you're gonna operate the home button on this one on the real one we're gonna see some sort of gestures and as you can see double tap there opens up the app switcher okay get started on home no thanks so what do I have to click double tap to go home every single time are you serious it does not go home from one tap interesting that's kind of annoying whoo there's Control Center so they did a copy the I was 11 Control Center Regan that's funny whoo that works very well surprisingly it's a very bright display very clone very good and I wonder if it can be adjusted in control this is actually the first time I've actually seen an iOS 11 running clone so that's kind of cool you actually hold on these and they open up the platters I wonder if it has 3d touch seems like it does I know fenoli let me see how do I activate Siri do I hold this and nothing so if I hold it does it go home I know it does not interesting they kind of complicated this for no reason over here we've got the widget view there cool and the Notification Center unfortunately they didn't copy the cover sheet so it doesn't bring down a lock screen just the Notification Center anyways still acceptable for iowa's lovin let's go head and see what this thing is running so let's jump in here definitely doesn't have the new icons emulator betas of iOS 11 but Iowa's 11 point 0.1 cool so this was a firmware that was rumored the iPhone 8 is going to come with it looks like looks like it does but I've got 128 gigabytes here and this I think I believe is real 128 gigabytes for the price tag and that's annoying no home with a single button even the App Store icon is not changed the maps is the old one it's not the real deal unfortunately but it does look very good I like how they blended the corners looks very sharp so the display is pretty clean on this guy the OS is there let's see what each one looks like so that's the camera the music player here wow they really want above and beyond a copy all of those that's cool see if they got the new App Store or if that's just a Play Store oh wow that's cool that's the first time I've ever even saw a cloned App Store let me connect it to Wi-Fi and see if it actually works so hold on started working okay cool that is actually amazing the amount of effort these guys put to trick you into thinking that's a real app store is amazing so they have some sort of custom app store on here with the very same look and at least the features works categories yeah so this thing actually works not gonna find all the apps you want in here but that is pretty neat I got the animations even so the animations very similar to the ones currently in iowa's 11 let's see the lock screen press home to open oh whoa what so you can actually slide it to the camera and it unlocks the device oh no it doesn't just weird glitch alright that's kind of interesting it's just it's just funny for me to go through this and see how the program this thing compared to the real deal and look here is the real App Store so if you want the Play Store not the BS one over here you're gonna find that in the extras so um what else what else could I show you guys yeah Safari definitely cloned that's one the phone application let's see if they got a dark mode in here did these guys put a dark motive before Apple even unfortunately none of that and automatic back lights heading is still in here they didn't move it let's see what kind of wallpapers have got in here if they got the saying ah they actually got the same so none added none removed either that's funny they even copied the iowa's 11 calculator look so that attention a detail certainly is there unfortunately I wasn't able to get siri working which i'm sure they don't even have a via Google now overlay let's go ahead and see how fast this thing is and what it's actually running they do actually have a fake 3d touch so you hold and long press on an icon I'm guessing if you keep pressing it you can wiggle it no I guess not you can wiggle that one but you can wiggle others that don't have that menu and it's pretty responsive sorry I keep getting distracted here but this is hilarious they actually want you to believe that touch ID is working on this virtual home screen button so it's scanning it scanning it's adjusting my grip and what a dream this would be if this was real but I'd be so funny a clone comes to markets with a under the screen embedded fingerprint sensor before Apple and let's go ahead and see if this works and I try to see if there was any iris sort of facial unlock system unfortunately there isn't and did it work why are you not scanning my fingerprints I guess not it's all it's all a fake it does not actually let you and unlike Apple it lets you take off the fingerprint without putting your passcode and even all right got Android 6.0 even the Galaxy Note 8 clone I saw a little while ago had something newer who 1.3 gigahertz hey at least they're honest at least they're honest and 962 megabytes so one gig of ram and it's run that benchmark don't have high hopes for this one though and I'm sorry guys I tried twice halfway through the benchmark being completed it just crashes and have to restart and nothing happens that should tell you enough you need to know about the performance of this guy if you're buying it definitely don't do it for the performance aspect so let's go ahead and take a look at that camera I'm hoping that this will be a next-generation experience with a vertical camera alright just kidding guys on the real one yes this one I bet this one is a fake on the bottom it looks like a dud but we'll open it up and take a look in just a second alright so I'm starting from a dark to light environment and Wow look at that motion blur this is just walking down if I stand still it's still hard for it not to happen hard to I believe that app will change these cameras at all you know I would expect a little bit more from a vertical lens camera should be doing a little bit better let's do some panning here up down to light oh my gosh how is this worse than the last clone that it's truly awful oh my goodness so if you're buying this for the camera just know this literally should not even be defined as a camera it is so bad any front-facing camera hard to say it's any better I don't even know what all those little things are I bet they're duds but there it is also some pretty awful motion tracking blur they're moving this thing quality oh boy it's like VGA 480p max hoping the real one will be better than this that is certainly one of the worst cameras I have ever used on a smartphone the vertical orientation did it help out much all right guys next up let's see if we can get an an to do out of this guy and once again another failure I have never had this where a device just simply refuses to do a test both on an to do and on the geek bench it keeps restarting from the beginning here so I cannot give you an accurate representation of how this phone performs via a GPU or CPU unfortunately so that's not gonna happen it just keeps restarting as you can see right here and go back over and over all right so let's try and get in here I don't know how difficult this can be if this is real glass or not I'll find out if I break it or not but oh there we go not too difficult and here it is so and this assembly oh so that is plastic it's not glass it's a very different inside from other clones that I've seen actually they're using a different color usually they use the green silicon cameras really tidy up there in the corner very neat battery not those usual silver-plated it looks very clean inside I like that it's furred clone that's very impressive so this one is more reminiscent of an iPhone inside usually they're split up with a whole logic board down here and then the battery up here or vice versa and this one is all over the place it's kind of cool you can't tell this is a dud though most likely it is has the camera is straight awful we have little slots here for an SD card if you want to expand your storage made it easy for you so overall pretty cool alright guys so there it is the iPhone 8 plus or iPhone X clone before the official release hope you enjoyed that would it recommend this at $300 oh dear no no way I mean if you want to have this at a fraction of the price of the original and just to see the design for yourself just to show off without actually having to spend a thousand dollars sure go ahead but I would not recommend it at $300 for a daily driver you can buy an iPhone se at that price used it will do so much better than this anyways hope you enjoyed it as always just a funny clone video nothing meant to be used as an original hopefully they'll have some better clone versions in the future but this is the best iPhone 8 clone yet peacewhat's up guys forget about the iPhone X today I'll be showing
