Japan's Iosys will reportedly launch a knockoff of the iPhone 5c called 'ioPhone5' on Friday. The device clones the iPhone 5c's exterior but comes with Android and inferior specs, reports CNET.

The ioPhone5 has a 480x854 resolution display, 512MB of RAM, a dual-core Mediatek chip, 4GB of flash storage, a 2 megapixel camera, and runs Android 4.2 OS.

The iPhone 5C boasts a 640x1,136 resolution display, 1GB of RAM, a dual-core A6 chip, 16GB of flash storage (minimum), an 8 megapixel camera, and runs iOS 7.

The two phones look very similar on the outside; however, thanks to its lower specifications, the ioPhone5 starts at 15,490 yen (about $150).

They used polycarbonate before them but this one is a harder version of the old one, plus it's colors! Copying huh, but compare to lumia sure they came up with it first but apple used colors on ipod touch first so...

Lol, this is hilarious! The video, I mean! These people didn't really put much effort in their production. I like how the guy, that's with the woman inside the store moving their arms around, isn't even holding the phone to his ear! I like the one guy that's using his phone, but is holding like 4 more phones in his hands, as well. Also, they probably didn't use the phones in the video, cause you can see through the camera lens (as others have also mentioned in this comment section).

You can see right through the phone through the camera hole when they're holding the phone up. Its nothing but a shell.
