Shenzhen copycat mobile phone

Why are there a large number of iPhone X knockoffs in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen?

Nowadays, domestic mobile phone manufacturers are entering the high-end flagship mobile phone market. The key is that the profits of thousand-yuan phones and 2,000-yuan phones can be said to be "flying close to the ground." Even selling a mobile phone makes more money than selling a pair of headphones or a mobile power supply. But copycat mobile phones seem to have subverted the law that selling cheap mobile phones does not make money. Not only does it have a variety of high-end looks, but its configuration also uses mid-to-high-end hardware, even maintaining flagship-level standards. For example, the HelioX30 processor, 6GB+128GB, ultra-high-definition screen, etc. of the S9 copycat mobile phone made the Meizu Pro7 high-end version "speechless and choked." And its price of less than 2,000 yuan makes regular mobile phone manufacturers stunned.

The key reason why copycat manufacturers work so hard to make high-quality imitations and equip them with good hardware is that the profits are very huge. They do not need to pay various patent fees, nor do they have formalized production lines - small workshops are enough to meet demand, and labor costs are relatively low - they basically do not pay five insurances and one housing fund. Basically, these copycat mobile phones just go through " The act of "assembly" is just pieced together. Due to multiple factors, the cost of copycat mobile phones is very low, and profits will naturally increase.

Another point that cannot be ignored is that some copycat mobile phone manufacturers also cooperate with fraud gangs. For example, in a fake iPhone fraud case uncovered in June 2017, the gang had a clear division of labor—some were responsible for online promotion and accepting orders, while others were responsible for producing and purchasing fake iPhones. They commission based on the order and share the profits equally. The profit of a fake iPhone can reach 1,400 yuan to 1,800 yuan! It is understood that when the police tracked down the delivery warehouse of the fake iPhone, the weighing results showed that the total weight was nearly 3 tons! It can be seen that the huge profits make copycat manufacturers flock to it and they can’t stop.

More importantly, the illegal costs of copycat mobile phones are extremely low. If no one reports or reports the crime, the fake phone can almost sit back and relax. You should know that the price of counterfeit mobile phones is relatively low, and individuals purchasing a single mobile phone generally do not meet the registration standards. Generally speaking, regular mobile phone manufacturers will not specifically pursue counterfeit mobile phone incidents, because they spend a lot of energy and money, but the results obtained are insignificant. After all, compared with tens of millions of authentic mobile phones that are frequently shipped, the shipments of copycat mobile phones ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands have nothing to do with the overall situation. In addition, even if they are held accountable, copycat manufacturers can simply "shoot and change their location." The cost of returning to the old business is low, which makes copycat manufacturers seem to be in a good position, and also gives copycat mobile phones room to survive.

Are there many counterfeit or refurbished phones in Shenzhen, Guangdong? Why are there so many cheap ones on Taobao?

Yes, there are many refurbished counterfeit phones in Shenzhen. The most in the country. When buying mobile phones and other electronic products on Taobao, if the seller is from Shenzhen. Nine times out of ten it is a refurbished machine. Why are mobile phones so cheap on Taobao? Similar products, Chinese-made mobile phones are ridiculously expensive, but parallel imports can be hundreds or even thousands of yuan cheaper. That’s because foreign mobile phones are not expensive to begin with, so they are naturally much cheaper than domestic mobile phones. Most foreign mobile phones It came in through Hong Kong, and Shenzhen is only separated from Hong Kong by a river. The first stop for parallel-imported mobile phones to the mainland is Shenzhen. Mobile phones in Shenzhen are quite cheap. The Huaqiangbei mobile phone market not only radiates across the country but also affects Africa, Southeast Asia, In countries and regions such as India and Pakistan, the mobile phone industry in Shenzhen has been clustered, producing everything from low-end copycat phones to ordinary mobile phones to high-end smartphones. Shenzhen is the leader in China’s mobile phone industry, so products sold on Taobao It’s not surprising that most of the mobile phones are from Shenzhen. When buying mobile phones in Shenzhen, you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy good stuff, but you just don’t have to bring so much money. There are everything from domestic phones costing a few hundred to high-end smartphones costing $7,000 or eight thousand, and the varieties are diverse. , Shenzhen is a first-level wholesale market. Maybe the mobile phone you are using now comes from Shenzhen!

Some people say that Shenzhen is the place where most fake mobile phones are sold. Is this true? "Copycat === garbage"

Yes, but fake mobile phones are not necessarily garbage.

Copycat mobile phones

In China, we can see private small and medium-sized enterprises all over the country that rely on OEM or imitation to survive. Their existence runs through China's reform and opening up. The entire economic market, especially since 2005, the industrial control and technical thresholds of China's electronics manufacturing industry have been lowered again. Many small and medium-sized enterprises in Shenzhen, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have begun to set foot in the vast electronic product market on a large scale. Led by the mobile phone manufacturing industry, there has been A large number of manufacturers rely on imitation and innovation at low prices. We call this phenomenon of imitating the appearance or functions of mainstream brand products at extremely low costs and innovating them, and ultimately surpassing this product in terms of appearance, function, price, etc. For the cottage. Due to the lack of previous research results in this area, there is currently no research in the academic community.

[Edit this paragraph] Shanzhai traceability

Shanzhai - is the latest name for counterfeit products, and also It has become the business vocabulary that has received the most media attention recently. Counterfeit phones are made by manufacturers who choose their own brand names or imitate the functions and styles of branded phones. Counterfeit cars are the imitation and transformation of internationally renowned brands by some small workshop-style manufacturers taking advantage of the government's management negligence. The degree of imitation has caused infringement to the imitators. Because they evade government management, copycats do not pay value-added tax, and at the same time they do not spend money on product development, advertising, promotion and other expenses. Nowadays, copycats have set off a powerful market shock wave and dealt a fatal blow to brand products.

The end of the mobile phone license system has given a boom to copycat mobile phones. Nowadays, major media are actively discussing the innovative models, competitive advantages and valuable experiences of copycat phones. At the same time, a large number of domestic websites have adopted the same copycat strategy to collectively imitate successful foreign websites such as Facebook and Youtube, gaining a large number of users and even receiving considerable investment.

“When talking about counterfeit mobile phones, we must mention the MTK chips they use,” Mr. Fang from the Marketing Department of Capital Information Group told reporters. MTK is a Taiwanese chip manufacturer. Its Chinese name is MediaTek Technology Co., Ltd. and its full English name is MediaTek. This company, founded in 1997, was once named one of the "Top 50 Asian Companies" by Forbes magazine, and the MTK mobile phone chip they developed shocked the entire mobile phone industry chain.

Mr. Fang told reporters that MTK chips integrate mobile phone motherboards and software and sell them together. As long as a casing and battery are added, anyone can use the "semi-finished products" of mobile phones provided by MTK to produce a mobile phone, so Some small workshops have openly started manufacturing mobile phones. This is just like when you go to the market to buy a computer compatible machine. The CPU, memory, hard drive, and graphics card are all ready for you. You just need to tighten them with screws. The only hardware you can choose is the chassis, which corresponds to a mobile phone case. It's just different. This is why there are so many "copycat phones" on the market that have the same functions but slightly different shells.

What functions do you want? Camera, MP3, MP4, memory card support, touch screen, Bluetooth, it has all the functions you can think of. The most important thing is that it is cheap, extremely cheap, and it has everything you need. Such a system is said to only cost 300-400 yuan in Shenzhen.

In October 2007, the nine-year-old "mobile phone license" system implemented by the country was cancelled. The "blackness" of "copycat mobile phones" gradually receded, and "copycat mobile phones" turned into regular troops. When the sales of "copycat mobile phones" are in full swing, several major domestic brand-name manufacturers finally couldn't sit still and turned to the competitive strategy of "copycat mobile phones": using MTK's solutions, focusing on ultra-large screens, multiple speakers, and full-screen handwriting. , we must fight for our market share.

An emerging domestic mobile phone brand quickly seized market share. By the end of the year, the brand’s actual sales exceeded Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and LG. This is Tianyu, a little-known copycat. The person who started the business as a manufacturer.

As a regular army of "copycat mobile phones", Tianyu is invincible. At that time, TCL, Konka, Bird, etc., which were popular in China, disappeared one after another. According to industry insiders who have visited Tianyu's production line, the quality inspection requirements for Tianyu mobile phones are 2-3 times higher than the national standard. In other words, every Tianyu product has absolute quality assurance. The combination of MTK and Shanzhai finally achieved positive results.

"Copycat mobile phones" focus on rural areas and secondary and tertiary markets

"Rural areas surrounding cities" is the market strategy of "copycat mobile phones", which can effectively avoid competition with Nokia, International brands such as Samsung and Motorola compete directly with each other, and they can also use their advantages such as powerful functions and low prices to compete with domestic manufacturers. The reporter once talked with people from all walks of life with different identities, incomes and statuses about whether they would buy "copycat mobile phones". The results found that students and low-income workers are more likely to accept "copycat mobile phones", which also shows that "copycat mobile phones" still have their own merits. existing market space.

In small and medium-sized cities and rural markets, consumers tend to pay more attention to the functions and appearance of mobile phones, and have relatively low demands for brands. This allows "shanzhai mobile phones" to see opportunities. However, foreign brands do not pay enough attention to the rural market. In the competition with domestic brands in the third and fourth-tier markets, "shanzhai mobile phones" have strong functional advantages and price advantages. Therefore, the bosses of Bird Mobile and Amoi Mobile once shouted that losses are Because of "black mobile phones".

The most criticized thing about “copycat mobile phones” is their quality. According to industry insiders, while low-priced "copycat mobile phones" pursue strategies such as "replace with a new one if it breaks" and "it's not a pity to throw it away if the price is so low," some sellers also promote "experiential marketing." . "Copycat mobile phones" generally allow consumers to experience using them at a lower cost, allowing them to experience the functions and services of the "copycat mobile phones". After experiencing them, they can participate in the "profit plan". For example, if you buy a "copycat mobile phone" If you buy a "shanzhai mobile phone", you can get a "sharing discount card". When you introduce the card to your friends and let them buy a "shanzhai mobile phone", you will get a price discount and you can also get part of the cash compensation. This plan is definitely attractive. .

After several years of "intensive cultivation" in rural areas and secondary and tertiary markets, "shanzhai mobile phones" have actually gained a firm foothold. It is understood that some major domestic mobile phone brands are envious of "copycat mobile phones" and have also fallen into the copycat camp. Only Amoi is struggling on the road of independent research and development, and Amoi has even put up a "different" advertisement for this purpose.

Where are the “shanzhai mobile phones” going?

The colorful mobile phone market near Beijing’s Women’s Street seems to be always crowded. "Copycat mobile phones" are doing brisk business among the rows of counters. "Touch screen, multiple functions, affordable price" has become the mantra of stall owners to attract business.

However, a serious problem facing "copycat mobile phones" is that some untrustworthy stall owners sell substandard products and frequently have product quality problems; secondly, "copycat mobile phones" do not have the core technology and Imitating the appearance of popular models also faces intellectual property issues. As an expert from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said, there are three difficulties in managing "copycat mobile phones": difficulty in supervision - dealers engage in guerrilla warfare; difficulty in supervision - market operators have imperfect self-discipline and allow "copycats" to come in and out; difficulty in coordination - A considerable proportion of consumers specifically buy “copycat mobile phones”. At a recent mobile phone industry research and development conference, industry experts expressed that relevant departments should promulgate laws and regulations as soon as possible, and the industry and commerce, public security, customs, copyright and other departments should jointly regulate the mobile phone market to prevent the proliferation of "copycat mobile phones" from the source.

At the same time, some powerful "shanzhai mobile phone" companies such as "Tianyu" began to take the road of establishing brands and began to follow the model of formalized research and development, production and promotion. This is " The right way to "shanzhai mobile phone".

Whether it is eradicated or promoted, the fate of "shanzhai mobile phones" will continue to attract the attention of consumers.

[Edit this paragraph] Unable to recruit peace

When it comes to the word "recruitment", people often think of Song Jiang, the hero of Liangshan, first. Song Jiang could have led his brothers to carry out the road to the cottage to the end, but in order to clear his and his brothers' identities and become court ministers who could honor their ancestors, he finally knelt down to the emperor of the dynasty with a charming smile and bowed his head piously. A head that once had its blood boiling. The result? Not only did he fail to secure a bright future for his brothers, he instead led the brothers who lived through life and death with him on the road to death. I wonder if Song Jiang ever regretted his choice before he died?

It’s too late to regret, everything has become history.

There has been some news recently that the government has intentionally extended an olive branch to recruit copycat phones. In response, a copycat machine owner shook his head and made it clear: We don't want to be recruited. If not recruiting is a dead end, what if we are recruited? Die faster! We would rather live a little longer.

Why do copycat phone owners think that they will die faster if they are recruited? He explained that although relevant national departments have taken positive measures to reduce mobile phone testing fees and testing times, this intensity is still far from their ideal value. To make the same mobile phone, one costs hundreds of thousands in testing fees and several months of waiting time for testing, while the other does not require anything and will be put on the market directly after it is ready. If you are a manufacturer, which path will you choose? Wouldn't it be better to pass on the testing fees to consumers and leave this time to consumers so that they can enjoy the updated functions and appearance of their mobile phones in advance? As an enterprise, of course, we are willing to clean up our business and do business in a serious manner, but are regular domestic mobile phones “white” enough? How will they end? The ending is to die faster and more tragically than the copycat machine. With such a living example in front of you, do you still need the copycat machine to make a choice with your head? Making the company bigger and stronger "cleanly and cleanly" is definitely the biggest ideal of copycat machine companies, but the problem is that without certain economic strength, how can they successfully clean up their business? Most copycats can only choose to continue to "copycat", and a very small number of big copycat bosses may be able to successfully wash their feet and go ashore, but this will definitely have to pay a considerable economic price, and whether the future after landing will be smooth sailing, no one Can guarantee the ticket.

The author also checked the netizens on major forums such as NetEase and Sina.

Firstly, the quality of the copycat phones is not as bad as the media criticized. Some netizens even think that the copycat phones are worse than the ones criticized by the media. Some regular brands of mobile phones are easy to use, have more functions, and look better. As for the after-sales service, the after-sales service of the regular army is not very good anyway. There is no difference between having it and not having it, not to mention that some copycat phones have after-sales service!

Secondly, the prices of copycat phones are indeed affordable. Some netizens are even grateful for the copycat phones, saying that if there were no copycat phones, maybe the mobile phones would still be selling at computer prices. They also gave the example of when the copycat phones were not released. Some mobile phones cost 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. Once the knock-off phones come out, those phones can be bought for just over 1,000 yuan. This saves consumers money, and the contribution of knock-off phones is indispensable.

Third, copycat phones are very innovative. They are not afraid of losing face or low profits. They realize all possible functions and try every means to meet all the needs of consumers, even if they have no needs for the time being. When you create something, nothing is impossible except what you can't imagine. This kind of grassroots culture is obviously more popular with consumers, more competitive, and more in line with market needs than the serious, self-righteous, procrastinating bureaucratic culture. Therefore, it is more recognized by netizens. Some netizens even said: "Learn from Dazhai in agriculture and copycat in industry." It seems that the spirit of copycat has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Perhaps some people used to think that those who bought copycat phones were consumers from the third and fourth tier markets who were uneducated and had no money. Now this idea has fallen behind. Do you think that so many netizens from big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are all A master with no money and no culture? At least judging from their writing style and analysis, they are quite level and insightful.

Recruitment has the obstacles of testing costs and time, and there are also examples of the death of regular domestic mobile phones. However, non-recruitment has strong support from consumers and market needs, and there are also "small boats can easily turn around" Advantages, how can a copycat phone be willing to recruit?

[Edit this paragraph] Shanzhai market

1. Offline market: Shanzhai mobile phones first occupied the streets and alleys by distributing them through channels. Currently, phone bills are paid in small and medium-sized cities in China. There are a large number of counterfeit mobile phone sales points in offices and computer malls everywhere. These sales points have become the largest guerrilla points for the shipment of low-end counterfeit mobile phones. According to a sample survey of a certain area by Mr. F of Shanzhai Machine Network, there are currently many The phone bill payment points in urban villages all sell knockoff mobile phones. Basically, the price range is between 200 and 500. The daily shipment volume of a small store ranges from 2 to 5 units because the price is basically cheaper than in the computer city. , many migrant workers, students, etc. will buy copycat mobile phones in nearby places. Another place is the local computer city. The sales points in the computer city are generally more complicated and watery than those in the village, because they are all specially purchased. They are for mobile phones, and there are many kinds of designs. Generally speaking, the quotation will be relatively unrealistic, and the approximate price is between 6-800 yuan. In general, the price can be reduced to about 500 yuan.

2. Internet online market: Another market is the sales market on the Internet. The Internet has become the best sales channel for copycat mobile phones. Baidu Youah, Taobao and other shopping websites have become the main sales channels for copycat mobile phones. Main sales channel, because its price is relatively low, the difference between counterfeit mobile phone sales on the Internet and offline is that these mobile phones are very new, always follow the market trend, there are many styles, but the price is also Relatively high. For example, some high-imitation iPhone copycat phones are generally very fine in workmanship and even have similar and smooth interfaces. This type of phone is called a fine imitation in the industry, and its price is generally around 1,000. Yuan Yuan, as technology continues to mature, a new batch of copycat mobile phones began to appear on the market after May 2009, called smart copycat mobile phones. This type of copycat mobile phones are very different from previous copycat mobile phones. This type of copycat mobile phone abandons the previous inherent model and uses the Windows Mobile system as the mobile phone platform. There are also a few that use the Google Android mobile phone system. The price of such mobile phones is generally relatively high, above 1,000 yuan. The emergence of smart copycat mobile phones has also broken the previous image of copycat mobile phones in everyone's mind. They are imitators but not gods. Smart copycat phones can have both appearance and spirit, and even the system is exactly the same. This is undoubtedly the case for copycat mobile phones. The market is a big push!

[Edit this paragraph] Three major advantages

1. Ultra-comprehensive functions: Almost all copycat phones are known for their comprehensive functions, such as large screens, photo cameras, MP3/ MP4 multimedia playback, and even high-end GPS navigation functions, these are no longer a problem once MTK comes out.

2. Strong standby capability: It is well known to many that copycat phones[1] have strong standby capabilities, and their battery capacities are even larger than the last ones. Not long ago, a certain mobile phone named ZJ268 was even more powerful. The battery capacity of 32,800 mAh has set a historical record, and the gimmick of two-year standby time is even more shocking.

3. Low price: The price factor is definitely the strongest weapon in the competition between copycat phones and big-name manufacturers. You may only be able to buy a low-end mobile phone at Nokia, but it is enough to buy another one. A fully functional copycat phone.

Highlights among “shanzhai” mobile phones

Why has the Shanzhai mobile phone industry developed so rapidly? In addition to its low price, it also meets the user's personalized needs and the integration of powerful functions. The most attractive aspects of electronic products are nothing more than function, price, and appearance. Since these aspects have been done very well, it is not surprising that copycat mobile phones are developing rapidly.

Highlight 1: Pay attention to the needs of consumers

In the past, domestic mobile phones deceived consumers, but this time the copycat phones really put consumers as the top priority. They understand The final user of the product is the consumer. In the past, the core of domestic mobile phones was still the company-centered production and R&D model. This time, the copycat phones adopted a consumer-centered production and R&D model. The target customer group of copycat phones is the low-income mass market. They have a deep understanding of this group of consumers. These people have high elasticity of price demand, strong vanity, and pursuit of practicality. The mobile phone has comprehensive and fancy functions such as ultra-long standby, dual-mode dual-SIM, large-capacity TF card expansion, 4 cameras, banknote verification function, flashlight, laser pointer, built-in GPS, and analog TV reception.

Highlight 2: Benefits of quick response and appropriate cost control

Copycat mobile phones mostly use MediaTek platform solutions, which greatly reduces the research and development costs of mobile phones and shortens the production process. If there is a small market segment and a small idea, the copycat phone will respond quickly and use a small team model to achieve quick results. For example, if you see a Tathagata mobile phone, it is obviously made for Buddhist believers. Yes, traditional brand manufacturers obviously disdain this approach, but they leave a big gap for copycat phones.

Highlight 3: word-of-mouth marketing, unique after-sales service

Low price is the competitiveness of copycat phones. However, Rome was not built in a day, and the competitiveness of copycat phones does not only rely on low prices. , they are very good at word-of-mouth marketing. The copycat phone has its own unique "Amway model marketing". Consumers who buy a copycat phone can get a "sharing discount card". If they introduce the card to others to buy it, they can get price discounts and the introducer can also get part of the cash compensation.

Due to the low cost, some copycat manufacturers now provide after-sales service by directly replacing the phone if there is a problem, which partially alleviates the negative impact of uneven quality of copycat mobile phones. The reason why the second wave of domestic mobile phones caused by copycat phones is very different from the first wave is that the first wave relied more on "push" force, while the second wave relied more on "pull" force. "force. This model that is heavily tilted towards consumers has more lasting vitality.

[Edit this paragraph] Five major disadvantages

1. Radiation: The biggest disadvantage of copycat mobile phones is radiation! Consumers have no way of knowing how much radiation their mobile phones have. Needless to say, the dangers of radiation [tumors, cancers, malformations, nervous system disorders, etc.]. All major mobile phone brands publish their mobile phone radiation values ??[SAR] on their official websites. The radiation of mobile phones produced by these major manufacturers has been tested to be within the acceptable range of the human body. However, the reason why genuine parallel-imported mobile phones cannot be sold under regular The channel is listed because it has some functions with relatively large radiation, such as WIFI, so the radiation exceeds the standard [my country's mobile phone radiation standard is 1.0w/kg], so it cannot enter the regular channel. The amount of radiation caused by the ultra-high-power speakers of counterfeit mobile phones can be imagined, and the amount of radiation from the motherboards and ultra-large-capacity batteries of counterfeit mobile phones cannot be ignored.

2. Explosion: The batteries of counterfeit mobile phones are generally relatively large. Why is the battery capacity of mobile phone batteries produced by regular manufacturers so small compared with that of mobile phone batteries? This is because mobile phone batteries can cause explosions in some environments. Cases of mobile phone explosions are common, and the motherboards and casings of counterfeit mobile phones are not necessarily flame-retardant or heat-insulating, which increases the possibility of explosions. Regular manufacturers consider not only the standby time, but also the safety of consumers. Many mobile phone websites have reported articles on mobile phone battery explosion experiments. They used illustrations to heat and compare various mobile phone batteries. Batteries produced by regular manufacturers are only It will smoke and crack, while the counterfeit battery will blow up the entire experimental area black. Its "power" can be compared with that of a detonator. I don't think anyone wants to carry a bomb that can explode at any time.

3. Odor: The packaging, motherboard, casing and battery of counterfeit mobile phones are generally made of cheap materials, and the gases they produce may be harmful to the human body. This is by no means an alarmist statement. Decoration is harmful to the human body. It has long been recognized by everyone that why the Bird's Nest must be decorated with VOC-compliant paint is because ordinary materials are harmful to the human body!

4. Market: It seems that copycat phones bring competition to regular manufacturers and stimulate them to lower their prices. In fact, what copycat phones bring is unfair market competition and chaotic market order, which makes formal manufacturers Manufacturers have lost confidence in the market and lost motivation for scientific research, causing large manufacturers to reduce their scientific research expenditures and making it difficult for some regular manufacturers that are just starting to move forward. In the end, it is consumers who are harmed. Recently in December: CCTV investigation: Counterfeit phones flooded stores and infringement was very serious

CCTV news: Many viewers must have heard of the word "cottage" mobile phones. The prices of these assembled or imitated mobile phones are very cheap. It has been favored by many people. So much so that in some cities, markets specializing in copycat mobile phones have formed.

Reporter: Behind me is Beijing Muxiyuan Mobile Phone Wholesale Market. Among the hundreds of mobile phone stalls here, there is a very cheap copycat mobile phone. How is its market sales? Let’s go and see it. one time.

Some merchants said that tens of thousands of people come in and out of this market every day. Buyers come from all over North China, and many of them are looking for copycat machines.

Merchant: What is this called, "Duke", the kind that imitates "Earl", Samsung, imitates "Earl", how much is this, 650 yuan, how much does "Earl" cost, more than 6,000, warranty How long? One year warranty. Can I get it repaired by you? Yes, how many units can be sold in a day, maybe a dozen units. Is this a copycat phone? Basically, there was a girl last time, and the appearance is the same everywhere. Just the screen display is different, you can't tell it at all.

Not far from Fangshitong Technology Plaza, there is a mobile phone store called Nanxi Technology. The reporter also found a large number of fake mobile phones here.

Merchant: This imitation is different from the real one. It must be different, including the camera pixels and clarity. No wonder it is so cheap. Everyone knows this. The real ones cost thousands, while the fake ones cost hundreds. Of course it is this kind that sells well. Why, it is so cheap and is used to bluff people. A layman who doesn’t understand will see that it is true.

At present, genuine Apple mobile phones cost more than 4,000 yuan, while counterfeit versions of Apple mobile phones can be obtained for only 800 yuan. Merchants said that they can sell more than a dozen of these "copycat" apples a day, and the manufacturer can ship more than 2,000 units in a day.

Merchant: Is there any testing? If there is no testing, can it be put on the market? Parallel imports cannot be listed on the market, but this is the parallel import market.

It is understood that similar mobile phone markets exist in Tianjin, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and other places, and most of the products come from Shenzhen. Most of these knock-off mobile phones have not been tested, their quality cannot be guaranteed, and they have no after-sales service. However, it cannot be said that copycat mobile phones do not have any technical content. The reporter found that almost all copycat phones are marked with advanced configurations such as "ultra-long standby, dual-SIM dual standby, and multi-megapixel cameras", and even include subwoofers, It can be said that the producers have put a lot of effort into additional functions such as SLR lenses and game controllers. But the main problem they face is infringement.

He Yudong, a researcher at the Intellectual Property Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law: Shanzhai mobile phones have been around for some time. If they have similar functions to other mobile phones and if their appearance and design are similar, some people’s mobile phones have the entire For mobile phone patents, if you do something within the scope of protection required by the patent, you will constitute an infringement.

Experts also pointed out that if your innovation reaches a certain level through imitation, you can also protect your intellectual property rights by applying for patents. In Shenzhen, some mobile phone manufacturers with copycat backgrounds have already launched their own brands, and their products are even sold abroad. And if you blindly plagiarize other people's appearance and technology, or even directly OEM and counterfeit it, it will eventually be prohibited by the law.

5. Many copycat phones have some bad advertisements, and generally the software and games that come with the phone have many charging traps. You must not click on them casually when using copycat phones.

Install software and games on copycat mobile phones

First check whether the mobile phone supports MRP. Enter *#777755999# or *#220807#. If there is a response, congratulations, your mobile phone supports it. Nowadays, various mobile phone software and game manufacturers have developed platforms. Generally focus on the high-end mobile phone market. So-called copycat mobile phones such as domestic mobile phones and off-brand mobile phones are often not taken seriously by anyone. As a result, many domestic mobile phone users and off-brand mobile phone users want to install software and games but cannot.

MRP format program is a lightweight virtual platform MINIJ platform format file developed by Hangzhou Skye Network Technology Co., Ltd., written in standard ANSIC. We can also say that it is a dedicated software and game format for domestic mobile phones. Currently, MRP has a wide range of applications, accounting for 80% of domestic mobile phones.

Those who need to download the MRP program can go to the MRP download base, which professionally provides copycat mobile software, game downloads and communication. If you have any questions, you can also communicate with the members on the MRP download base.

Top secret: As long as you change the SMS center number to None, all charging traps will be in vain
