    Menu looks good definitely an improvement from the Chinese menus,is this mtk6592 and also is the battery and gps ok in this clone?

    6592 - yes
    Battery - Not great, think it's the same in every S5 clone. I have a battery from a real S5 in it though so it is perfect now.
    GPS - Don't think it works. Only trying it now since you asked, but the app I am using is saying 'Looking for GPS location' for the past 10 mins.

    my missus wanted an s5 about 2 months ago.
    We had a look online and spotted one on gumtree.
    it was the cheapest one but not rediculously cheap 300 I think.

    Something didnt seem right though.
    When I searched the phone number attached to the ad, there was another ad for an s5 2 weeks before but the contact name was different on it?

    Still wasnt sure so the missus rang the guy, I asked her to ask for the IMEI, he gave it, I checked it and got nothing...

    She rang back and asked him to confirm the IMEI and he gave a completely different one.
    She asked him where it was bought and he said meteor.

    She said she'd ring him back.

    She rang him back and asked had he got a receipt, he then said it was bought in the UK and was on Orange.?

    She ended up getting a one plus instead (she fell in love with my one)

    Jaysus, if you're going to go to the bother of selling a dodgy phone at least have your story straight.

    be careful buying s5's folks, tons of fake ones around...
