Other than humans, is there a thing that does not cloned up in China? It features same sliding mechanism just like the original one and even the display size is similar – 3”. However, it just ‘pretends’ that it runs Windows Mobile while in reality, it does not.

The display does not have WVGA resolution like Xperia X2, but sports WQVGA screen (400×240). Other goodies include FM radio, Quadband GSM support. Like most Chinese phones, it supports dual-SIM

Price is not known, but since it is a Chinese product, we are expecting it to pretty cheap and undeniably much cheaper than the original Xperia X2 :)

The back of the phone says “12.1MP camera” which is beyond any doubt, fake.
