Subscribe to the BlogBecause of its innovative features, this phone is among the most popular of the iPhone clones. Here is a quick review of its features, appearance, performance and pricing.
Overview: The CECT A380i (sometimes called the A380), is among the latest Chinese iPhone clones with shake and tilt technology. In case you are not familiar with this line, they are very similar to the iPhone, but they've added additional bonus features. Examples are two sim cards (two phone numbers), a removable battery so you aren't dependent on the dealer when the battery dies, additional surround sound and vibrating speakers, and the ability to unlock the phone yourself with the slide unlock feature. You can use any carrier or provider you wish with this phone. The shake and tilt technology means that you can change any media by just shaking the phone. If you want to switch or advance a song, you just shake the phone rather than scrolling or having to look down. When you want to bring video or photos to wide screen, you just tilt the phone.
Features: The A380 has all of the the features which makes the iPhone popular: Bluetooth, a 3.0 inch finger touch screen, MP3/MP4/DV players, a 1.3 mega pixel camera, a video recorder, fully functional smart phone capabilities, web browsing, Java 2.0, T-Flash 256 MB memory, and many games with more available for download. No driver or software is required with this phone. It will automatically read your sim card.
Appearance: This phone looks very similar to the iPhone. It has the silver casing on the back with black on the front. It is sleek and modern looking. However, there is no writing or logo on the phone and most people prefer this.
Functioning And Quality: This phone is nice and solid. It is quick, crisp and solid in its performance and the shake and tilt control and the finger touch features make it incredibly user friendly.
Pricing: This model starts at about $150, but can vary greatly depending on where you get it. However considering all of the innovation packed into this tiny little phone, that seems to be a very fair price.
The CECT A380i is really a great little phone for the money. It has all of the latest features and is a very solid, high functioning little cell phone in its own right.
