HDC Galaxy Note MT6577: A Samsung Galaxy Note II Clone Review

          China phones become really popular and hits thousands of purchase annually worldwide because of its affordable price. After launching the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the Chinese version also produced which is called HDC Galaxy Note MT6577, a 5.3 inch dual sim Samsung Galaxy Note II replica.

          The first time I saw the HDC Galaxy Note MT6577, I was really amazed because of its build quality. It looks very elegant because of its 5.3 inch screen resolution with Super AMOLED display. Another reason why I hooked up by HDC Galaxy Note MT6577 is it is powered by the HDC latest Chipset called MT6567 Dual-core which is fast compared to other china phones. 

Design 

           HDC Galaxy Note MT6577 design is almost the same with the origin alone. It offers a crystal clear 5.3 inch capacitive multi-touch screen. Its perfect for watching movies because it has 800x480 pixels with almost 16 million colors. The first time I hold this phone, it is really large and thin but still ot looks very stylish and attractive.

Camera

         HDC Galaxy Note MT6577 camera did not reach my image quality criteria and ratings. When I took some simple shots, it is just like the quality of ordinary china phones which blurd  I still stick with the fact that it is a cheaper device so I should not expect to much performance from it. Anyway it also have Front camera for video calls such as in Skype and yahoo messenger.

Features

         The HDC Galaxy Note MT6577 runs with Android Ice Cream (ICS)with 1 GB RAM and a memory card slot for about 32GB. Another reason why i like it, is the 3G capability and a WiFifor the internet slave users. It also have built in GPS and A-GPS and most of all it has a China phone trademark which is Dual-Sim.

Battery Life

          HDC Galaxy Note MT6577 Battery comes out with 2000 mah 2x battery life. It is really impressive compared to the ordinary chinaphone that would only lastfor about 2-3 Days for the standby mode. It has a promising battery capacity that probably everyone is wishing for their device.

Verdict

          HDC Galaxy Note MT6577 was the first china phone that impressed me. It feels that you just also  owned the original one. It is good for watching movies and playing games for a long period of time. The low image quality is one of the cons that I have encountered and also it lags while playing games. All in all it is a superb replica of a smartphone.    

The price of HDC Galaxy Note MT6577 is about $225
