GooPhone i5S first impressions and mini review

[Guest chief_wolfinjo]

Hi :)

 

I would like to share my impressions for GooPhone i5S and write a few lines about this very interesting phone.  I need to tell you also that i i got it from GooPhone company. At first glance, i got the impression that this is a very well made phone. It has a aluminum casing, which is really good. Appearance is the same as iPhone 5s except logo on the back. GooPhone have their own logo. I've got a golden white model.

 

Screen is 4 inch big with resolution of 480×854 pixels. Although the resolution of the screen is low, screen is excellent. the colors are vivid, and it also have an excellent viewing angle. according by manufacturer the screen is Super AMOLED. and in my opinion they are not exaggerating.

 

Under the hood is MT6572, Cortex A7 dual core, 1.2GHz, Mali-400mp, 512MB DDR3 with 16GB internal memory. it should be also noted that the primary objective of the manufacturer is to produce a phone very similar to iPhone 5s and they managed. therefore, the performance of this model are not high end. but most functions will do just fine. In Antutu benchmark it scored 10635 points. slightly less than the very popular models mt6589.

 

GooPhone i5S comes rooted, Android 4.2.2 which is a complete interface in the style iPhone. For example if you want to take a screenshot you need to press the Home and Power buttons at the same time. All functions in the system are working fluid, and there were no unnecessary applications installed.

 

This device has two cameras, front camera is 1.3mpx and may very well serve for Skype conversations. while the back camera is 8mpx with led flash and autofocus. camera is quite ok, pictures per day are solid, while at night are not something good.

 

WiFi has a good range to capture signals, while for GPS at the first attempt did not worked. After a few adjustments with MTK engineer app, now GPS is working ok. It is not for professional use.

 

and maybe If you decide to buy this phone, you can buy it in Goophones shop

 

Thank you :)
