While the iPhone 5C will certainly be cheaper than Apple’s high-end iPhone 5S, it’s likely to be too expensive still for many in emerging markets. But smartphone clone specialists Goophone already have an Android-powered alternative in the pipeline that will sell for just $100 in China.
Called the “i5C,” the device looks almost identical to the real iPhone 5C based on the leaks we’ve seen. Just don’t expect a Retina display.

Galaxy Gear, Samsung’s first Android-powered smartwatch, will be unveiled alongside the Galaxy Note III next week, according to a senior Samsung executive.
Lee Young-hee, executive vice president of the South Korean company’s mobile business, has confirmed to The Korea Times that the new “wearable concept device” will be announced on September 4, and she’s confident it will be a big success.
Samsung has done a pretty impressive job of keeping the Galaxy Note III under wraps ahead of its September 4 unveiling, but with just over a week to go until the big day, the handset’s new display has appeared in a series of high quality images from a “trusted source.”
As of today, Sony is pushing out a standard maintenance update for its Xperia S, SL, and Acro S handsets to fix a wide variety of reported issues based on user feedback.
A leaked official press render emerged last week, revealing a blue variant of HTC’s latest flagship smartphone. And now a photo, which was taken by a Chinese factory worker, has appeared on a social networking website, as confirmation. This image shows a more vivid shade of blue than we had previously seen in its recently leaked promotional shots.
