You must have seen the image above and found that this was indeed the Galaxy Note 5, right? Not today we see Chinese firms launch clones smartphones of Samsung, such as Goophone ever copied the line Note the company. But this time the UMi has who had the nerve to shamelessly copy the current design phablet top line of South Korea. And to top it off, the product is priced well below the original, being promised for only $ 90.

What can we expect from a phone that costs less than $ 100? Generally low-resolution screen, basic chipset, 1GB of RAM and internal storage bit, right? This is where the novelty, called Rome surprises. UMi Rome – a copy of the Galaxy Note 5 has AMOLED screen of 5.5 inches and resolution HD (720 x 1280 pixels), resulting in 267 pixels per inch density. The chipset that controls the smartphone is the MediaTek MT6753, which offers a 64-bit octa-core processor coupled with Mali T720 GPU.

In terms of memory, we have 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage but have not been informed whether the device has a slot for memory cards (something that is lacking in the original Galaxy Note 5). On the cameras have a Sony IMX164 main sensor with a maximum resolution of 13 megapixels and another front with 2 megapixels. Finally, the novelty derives from battery 2500 mAh and Android 5.1 lollipop. It was not reported if it is upgraded to Marshmallow soon.

It really is amazing to see these specifications in a smartphone with such a price. But we have to take into account a detail: this is not the first time the UMi promises a super smartphone with basic mobile price and end up not fulfilling informed. The company recently said it would launch the Zero 2 with killer price and ended up leaving aside the release. Thus, the same may happen with Rome, which seems too good to be true.

Samsung pioneered the phablets segment to bring the Note line in 2011. Criticized initially the news was end up falling in love not only critical, but also of users who are always looking for ever larger smartphones. Other companies are also investing in this segment, such as Apple brought the first iPhone screen with up to 5 inches last year.

 LG is another manufacturer who always tried to gain its place in the phablets segment to bring a direct competitor of Samsung’s device. The company will return with all this year to bring the G4 Pro, by whatever name being given by the company with the latest chipset, the highly anticipated Snapdragon 820, 4 GB of RAM and 5.8-inch screen with a resolution Quad HD and IPS panel.

 However, these are not the only companies that South Korea needs to worry. Rumors claim that Huawei plans to launch a phablet with next screen 6 inches and stylus to increase productivity. The Chinese company is currently working in partnership with Google to bring the Nexus 6P at the end of the month. As mentioned, this will be the successor phablet to the Nexus 6 produced by Motorola.

 It seems that Huawei would be seeking to close a partnership with similar companies to Wacom, the company that worked closely with Samsung to develop the S Pen. It is expected that the crayon Huawei bring the same level of resources or something even more prepared to show a more serious competitor to the Galaxy Note from Samsung, as the majority of manufacturers bring only models with larger screens, without offering a differential with relation to the smaller smartphones.

 The source said that Huawei would have found the company that search, which may indicate that the development of this new phablet is already underway. However, this is not the first time we see a company’s smartphone be reviewed to come with stylus. In 2013, Huawei launched the Ascend Mate it was contemplated to come with stylus, but it had been set aside by the company. The same happened with Mate 2 that was not released with stylus.
