SONY XPERIA TX Clone APPEARS AT FASTCARDTECH

So I was browsing the Fastcardtech site can I came across 2 new interesting phones both of which are in stock. Firstly, I am going to introduce the Sony Xperia TX LT29i Clone / knockoff. Here is a picture used on the Fastcardtech online site.
SONY XPERIA TX LT29i CLONE
This phone has decent specs just like the Galaxy Note II Clone that I am currently using except that the Note II has a larger 5.3 inch screen with a bigger battery. If the Note II clone is too big for your liking then this may be the phone of choice for you. I just wish this phone has 1gb instead of 512mb. My Note 2 also has 512mb and works pretty well so this should not be a big problem. The best part about this phone is it is only $169.99 and FREE SHIPPING! You can get yours now at Fastcardtech

    This phone is just 12% slower than my original
    Xperia S with Snapdragon S3 1.5ghz dual core processor
    and it is only running at 1Ghz 




    Ok, so much for the Sony knockoff. The second phone I want to introduce is the 

    NEO NO2-M MTK6577 Dual Core 1.2Ghz 1G Ram 4.5 inch QHD Screen Android 4.0.4 Phone

    These phones are always advertised as 1.2ghz but they are really 1ghz. The kernel provided by the phone manufacturers do support over clocking so you will need to build your own kernel if you are a developer. This phone also have similar specs to other MTK6577 with QHD IPS screen but this really has 1gb of ram! Looks like all the manufacturers which do not produce clones have started to include 1gb of ram in all their offerings just like the NEWMAN N1 that I just ordered. This phone does indeed look like the HTC One X from the front. This phone is only $179 and also FREE SHIPPING!

HDC GALAXY S3 i9300 EX clone confirmed with 512mb RAM by Fastcardtech.

UPDATE: 1GB version now available here! Black and White available. (November 2012)

After struggling for the past 2 weeks with HDC, Fastcardtech has now confirmed the the new HDC Galaxy S3 EX or Extreme will currently have 512mb of RAM instead of the full 1gb first announced. The alternative brand Star B92M has also been downgraded to 512mb RAM. I already ordered this phone to review and have been exchanging emails with fastcardtech back and fourth for the past week. Here is the email from Fastcardtech explaining the shortage of 1gb memory modules due to the China and Japan fishing island conflict.


"Dear buyer,

This phone is also known as the Star B92M as well as the HDC Galaxy S3 EX and even if it does not have the 1gb of RAM, it is still a great phone because it does have a great 720 x 1280 HD IPS screen and a 12mp Camera (interpolated) and two 2000mAh batteries for a nice low price of only $192 and free shipping if you can wait.

This phone has a thread on the XDA forum and developers working on custom ROMs so rooting and clockwork mod recovery is available. I have been using my favourite HDC Galaxy note 2 with 512mb of ram without any slowdowns or problems. (Check my review on youtube)

There is a new HDC Galaxy Note 2 Pro with a 1gb option but that is only for pre-order. It looks like the the 1gb version will also not be showing up anytime soon. I would recommend this HDC Galaxy Note 2 as I have already tested it and using it for a month and it is close to a perfect large green phone. It also has support because it is identical to the Zoppo ZP900 Lite which promises Jelly Bean update.
Please use my link to browse the fastcardtech site so I can continue to get discounts and give you guys more reviews.

UPDATE: 1GB version now available here! Black and White available.
