Replica Galaxy note 5

[HeXen]

I bought a replica Galaxy Note 5 32gb for $75, not to use as a phone but mostly for apps, MP3..etc or just an extra device if I need it. Everything works great except the Google Playstore will not load anything. It just shows a blank white screen like it's trying to load the server but nothing ever comes up.

BTW This does not include a SIM card. Does that matter?

Ah, nvm. It finally started downloading an update and now it finally works. Awesome, replica or not, not bad for $75

Where did you get it, and what are the actual specs? Did it come w/ a replica (and working) S-Pen as well? That'd be really interesting...

Hard to find cheap phones/tablets with active stylus support.

I remember some knock-off Note 4's had a capacitive pen. I'd wager a bet that's all any Note knock off is ever gonna have. There's not much way anyone is knocking off the actual S-Pen/wacom tech and putting it in a $75 device.

I would also strongly *HOPE* that they didn't knock the Note5 off to the point of a non-removable battery. Not to be negative, but I just wouldn't trust a knock-off company to use a decent battery that will last all that long.

Can you deliver the specs of the chip?
If is Mediatek MT65XX based, it will be awful in more time, but if is the MT67XX based, congratulations. That chip is really a good move for Mediatek.

Yes it comes with the stylus, physically it's about as exact replica that I can tell though I don't have a real one to compare with.

The specs I seriously doubt, even though the specs on Android say 32gb, Android 6.0...etc, I really don't think it's Android 6. Because the keyboard isn't as nice as my actual phone which is a Galaxy E5 with 5.1 lollipop. Kind of looks like an older Android version to me but I really don't know much about phones.
I do know the resolution can't be any higher than my E5 and the camera's color's aren't as vivid....but you know, what do you expect for $75

Oh I got it at ***********. (hmm, won't show links but it's dhgate dot com )They sell tons of stuff from China...I think it's kind of like Ebay but from my experience they have good support, offer free returns and I've ordered a few things from there so far with no trouble.

But here you can see the box n stuff. The bullet hole stickers is something I put on it but just to look at it, looks exactly like the real Note but it's all plastic and I assume the real one is aluminum. The VR thing of course was seperate but it comes with charger and earphones....also note that the USB cord isn't good, I mean you can't transfer files with it, it keeps messing up so I had to use another cord

I have no clue how you could tell. It appears that even the specs shown in the phone's info is exactly as the real one but I think they faked it somehow. I know it does not have a magnetometer cause VR won't work right but does seem to have gyroscope..etc.

It does not seem to have a sim card. I don't really know much about phones but ya know, for an MP3 player or even GPS for the car...etc it's great. I downloaded offline maps and use it for that and music and works great. Battery life isn't as good as my E5 phone though but been keeping it plugged into car charger since that's where it basically stays.

Also to note, the stylus works good, screen size is 5.7 and good enough to read Kindle on.

You're right, the battery life isn't that great, I would not recommend this to use as an actual phone but maybe as a secondary device for whatever which is what I got it for. I dunno anything about the S pen, it has a button on it but appears to be just a basic stylus I think. I don't think it does anything fancy but when you pull it out, the screen pops up another interface for stylus stuff.

I had the same issue with a Chinese phone named Micromax. I could not solve the problem and I had to left this one.

HAHA! Are those bullet-hole stickers on the back of it? Added or part of the rear design?

Thought maybe you might have executed it already!

Yeah stickers, I hate logo's and don't care to advertise any company if it's something I already bought. If I could even cover up the logo on my shoes I would. I even try to remove them from my car if possible
