Galaxy S Gets Ripped Off in a Big and Small Way; Promises Froyo Before the Real Phone
It’s been a while since we’ve seen an Android phone rip off the iPhone, an iPhone-look-alike running Android, a Win– you get the point. Today’s occurrence rips off the Samsung Galaxy S’s design, runs Android 2.1, and does it with a screen that’s a half an inch smaller and a chassis that looks twice as thick. The screen isn’t AMOLED, we’d assume, and it has a measly HVGA resolution. We’re also sure it won’t have that snappy fast 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor inside, but it does come with a respectable 512MB of RAM and ROM. They even include the logo, for good measure! The irony in all of this is that they promise an upgrade to Android 2.2 is forthcoming within a few weeks, but a lot of us (especially in the United States) are having trouble getting that from Samsung for the REAL Galaxy S line of phones. Hmph. [M8Cool via Engadget]
