What are iPhone knock-offs really like?

The sheer number of new mobile phones out there doesn't allow us to include every single one in our already-extensive database, let alone review all of them. As you might expect, knock-offs of iPhones are especially low priority in our "to review" list. That's not to say they aren't interesting, though, in a "should I get one for my boss because I hate him" kind of way.

The people at Red Ferret have an interesting roundup of five so-called iPhone clones. And as indicated by the comments and ratings from the author, none of them really comes close to the iPhone. (Not a conclusion likely to shock anyone.) Maybe the planned Meizu M8 will buck that trend, if it ever sees the light of day.
