Selling for around £137.34 from places like Ali Express, this is the Bluebo Beast B6000 MTK6589T. Yes, it does look a lot like a Samsung Galaxy Note. In fact, in the hands-on I was quite surprised at the build quality and speed of the device.
It’s slightly thicker than the Note itself, and there’s two 2300mAh batteries in the box (which is always a warning sign), but we’ve seen good battery life so far. The screen is a 5.7″ 1280x720p IPS and it runs on a quad-core CPU. Powered by Android 4.2.1 we also received a free flappy leather case. If you gave this to anyone in the street and told them it was a Samsung Galaxy Note I really wouldn’t blame them for believing you. Honestly.
Other specs include and FM radio, GPS, WiFi, a 12.1 megapixel camera at the back, 1GB of RAM and 8GB ROM plus it’s dual-SIM – so you can carry your work and personal life around with you.
After a quick test I found this nippy, responsive and sturdy. Yes, let’s admit it, this is a copy, but it’s a frighteningly good copy. For around £140 (watch the import duty), it’s a bargain-basement alternative.
hi did you get any import charges please?
Not in this case as we paid extra for worldwide courier fella.
Worldwide courier? How does that get around import duty?? Sounds like a good trick though – more info if you don’t mind 😉
Sounds good I’m tempted
