Fanbois in China who just can’t wait to get their hands on the much-hyped upcoming iPhone 5 are in for a treat, as an Android-based version of the device modelled on the imminent handset's rumoured specs has made its way online.
Yes, hot-on-the-heels of a Japanese fanboi's efforts, China's Goophone is hoping to steal a march on Apple before its eagerly awaited 21 September announcement with the new Goophone I5.
The device features the rumoured two-tone back design as well as a quad core chip, although exactly which type is unknown.
Rather disappointingly, given all the pre-iPhone 5 launch hype about a larger screen size, the I5 comes with a regular 3.5-inch display with 940 x 640 pixels. Maybe Goophone knows something we don’t.
A 5 megapixel camera on the back and 1.3 megapixel snapper on the front complete the known specs. The phone runs Android but it's not clear exactly which version.
