[Android General] Stephandroid:
I guess this is the Note 3 clone post (only one!?!) so I'll ask my questions here! My phone is similar, but I think we'll all have a hard time finding "real" specs as you will soon see...

Have any of the rest of you tried any benchmarking/info apps to find out your real CPU/GPU/RAM specs yet?

My phone came with a (locked) version of Antutu that I think was hacked to show better scores and info. I rooted the phone (with Framaroot) and deleted the old version, installed a new version from the Play Store, and installed CPU Identifier. Antutu still miss-read the specs, but CPU Identifier gave a more realistic picture. (but not perfect)

The original Device Info screen: imgur.com/Js8e4FI or see "deviceinfo.png" below

Antutu's (still incorrect) device info screen: imgur.com/0OMilGl or see "antutu.png" below

CPU Identifier gave me a more realistic view of the processor, but still incorrectly shows 3GB of RAM: imgur.com/caapx2o or see "cpu identifier.png" below

Do any of you know an app that can show how much RAM this device actually has?

The processor seems to have confused Antutu and CPU Identifier as well since Antutu thinks its a quad-core Snapdragon, and CPU Identifier thinks its a dual-core MediaTek processor but says that the GPU is incorrect for the model it thinks it is.

I guess it will be a while before we know if any custom rom will work on these phones, but it would be nice to be able to use Xposed. I'm a little worried about trying it, but I'll probably get impatient soon and try it. It would be nice to at least know what rom is actually on it, as I think that info has been faked as well. I've tried to see if I can get any better info from the factory mode menu, (power + vol. down while booting), but it's all in Chinese: imgur.com/ivDFE4s or see "screencrap.png" below. Does anyone know what it says or how to change it to English?

---------------------------------

Okay, now the good news:

-It's actually a good phone for the price! I payed the equivalent of around $110 for it last weekend.

-The screen is bright and responsive, similar to the videos in this thread.

-The back of the case is branded like Mayiandjay's.

-The S pen is similar to the other pens. It looks almost exactly like the Samsung, with a fake button on it. The S pen menu only appears when you take the pen out, and I don't think the menu can be moved around the screen.

-It had the same desktop layout as the videos, but I think I lost some of that (and apps?!?) when I did a factory reset from the settings menu. I lost the Samsung boot up screen, (now it's an Android ani), and I don't seem to have the remote control app.

-The air gesture worked well (a bit better than s7yler's), and smart screen paused movies when I looked away.

-Multi window didn't work, but there is an app dock tab on the left side of the screen.

-It seems to get good signal and 3g, but I don't know about 4g. (we don't have that here)

-It is USB 2 with the fake USB 3 ports like the others.

-The Play Store is in the Galaxy Plus Icon/menu

-The resolution isn't what Antutu reports (1080x1920!) but I think CPU Identfier's 540x960 is correct, or it might be a bit better.

-The camera is only 8 megapixels, but that's okay, I don't take many pictures.

-While I don't think the phone has 3GB of RAM, the closest I've found to what might be more accurate is through using Usemon. While monitoring the RAM, it seemed to show about 1.5GB, but that might have been faked too.

All in all, it seems to be a good phone. I think s7yler's and Mayiandjay/Christopher.J.M's are better if they are actually quad-core, but until I can find an app I can trust or until I can change the rom, I don't think any of us can say what the specs are with confidence. This phone seems better than the other clones I tried out, so I'm happy with it.
