Keepin’ it real fake, part XCIX: HTC Touch clone by Santek is almost Meizu good

Filed under: , ,

It’s so much harder to poke fun when a clone manufacturer gets this close to the real thing. Santek’s SSG730 runs Windows Mobile 5, bills itself as a “samrt phone” and of course has other minor hardware differences from the HTC Touch, but we’ve gotta respect Santek going the extra mile here with the inclusion of a fingerprint reader. There’s also a surprising amount of hardware left intact, like GPS, Bluetooth, a WiFi option and a 2 megapixel camera. The split screen is kind of odd, and we’re not even positive it’s touchable, though we’d venture a guess that it is with this kind of commitment to fakery.
