so it's a copy??
Haha. Yea. Its definitely copy. Checked with cpu/ram identifer. Says cpu is mediatek mt6577 dual core. Even the flash memory is faked. Actual 4gb only. Lol. Anyway, the shop didnt cheat me la, upfront tell is a copy di. Its just that they made it so close to the real phone. I tried the real phone in xiaomi store.

Shocking ... after a week of use, found mine to be fake. Bought from aliexpress, I was too fast to complete the transaction ... now unlikely can get refund for it.
My thought was that since its a MTK phone and already low cost, there shouldn't be clones ... to my surprise, the details and the extend it goes to clone it.
My experience:
1. Was expecting it to be speedier (ignored)
2. Some apps crashes (thought maybe it just need an update)
3. Slow locking of GPS (maybe its ROM issue)
4. ....
Then, found I cannot update with the official ROM .... started to be suspicious. Googled and only little information online as it is still new and clones are also quite fresh. Use CPUZ and found that screen resolution is lower and the CPU is MTK6572 (dual core). You cannot easily tell from the outside, the ultimate test is using CPUZ and also general feel of the speed and by installing some more CPU demanding apps. The "about phone" also give the wrong information ... says quad core 1.5GHz.
The box even have the scratch sticker that has a valid code ... (the only clue is that the code has been checked over 1800 times online). The IMEI and the serials are also valid according to official site. They even clone the IMEI and serials!!!
How can I salvage the lost? Anyone interested in a clone Hongmi?
Bro, good luck in geeting refund.. Did the seller mention its a clone phone? If not then is cheating case hence u got a case to fight them.
