Note: Keep in mind that the specs of this Chinese Android iPhone clone are not accessible on the official Gooapple website, hence our review of specs of this smartphone is based on the rumors on the internet.
Display and Build
The GooApple i7 features the same 4.7-inch screen of the original iPhone 7, but the screen quality and resolution are not the same.
This means that compared to the latter, you should not expect the same picture quality of texts and images displayed on the screen.
In terms of build,
The iPhone 7 Clone comes with the same glass and metallic body of the iPhone 7, giving it a sleek and premium look.
The iPhone 7 Clone comes with the same glass and metallic body of the iPhone 7, giving it a sleek and premium look.
It has a dimension of 138.30 x 67.10 x 7.10mm (height x width x thickness) which makes it just as slim as the iPhone 7 but lighter.
Its lightweight can be attributed to the fewer components it packs in.
You can also get this smartphone in different color options such as White and Rose Gold.
Now,
While the iPhone 7 lacks a headphone jack, this clone version thought it wise to come with one, hence this might be one of the several clues as to which is which if you're trying to buy the real iPhone 7.
Judging from the specs above, this clone of the iPhone 7 looks has the same premium design of the real iPhone 7.
If you're in for looks of the iPhone, then here's an imitated version of the iPhone you might want to consider.
There is also a fingerprint sensor on this device to enhance the level of security by preventing unauthorized access to files, apps, and documents stored on the phone.
Hardware and Software
GooApple i7 features a Mediatek Helio P10 processor instead of the A10 fusion chip of the iPhone 7.
This processor can still carry out tasks fluidly, but not at the same level of the original iPhone.
The level of performance you'll get from this iPhone 7 duplicate will be comparable to mid-end devices from Infinix and Tecno.
There is a RAM size of 4GB RAM on this fake model of the iPhone 7, and this RAM is twice the size of that found on the iPhone 7.
Although its RAM is larger, you should not expect a higher level of multitasking with apps and games because the iPhone 7's RAM at 2GB has a performance that is more than remarkable.
This smartphone has an internal memory storage of 256GB which means you don't need an external memory storage since this capacity is more than enough to handle your storage needs.
In terms of Operating System software,
This smartphone runs on Android Operating System version 6.0 Marshmallow and iOS user interface.
This smartphone runs on Android Operating System version 6.0 Marshmallow and iOS user interface.
How possible that is, is left for the manufacturers to say.
The phone comes pre-installed with iOS apps like Apple Watch, iBooks, and Find My iPhone, while at the same time, allows you to run the best Android Apps and Games.
So,
You get to use the Android OS on an iPhone, which sounds cool my friend.😰
Camera
This GooApple iPhone 7 clone features a 16 MP rear camera whose resolution is also higher than the 12MP of the iPhone.
While there is a significant increment in resolution, the images captured by the iPhone 7 are of a better quality.
That being the case,
You should expect this camera to produce images with great quality but not as good as that of the original iPhone.
Autofocus, Geotagging, LED flashlight, and Panorama are some of the features of this camera that make for images with appreciable quality.
The resolution of the iPhone 7 Clone front camera is currently unknown, but that notwithstanding,
It won't capture better pictures than the real iPhone that has been optimized to compete with the Samsung S7's camera.

Battery and Connectivity
The battery capacity of the Goapple i7 is 3100mAh.
It can support long hours of talk time and standby time due to its large size.
There is also a fast charging support to ensure this device is fully charged within some minutes.
In comparison with the iPhone 7, this battery's capacity is larger and may last longer than the latter since the smartphone does not come with a lot of battery consuming features.
But then, I could be wrong and won't be surprised if the iPhone 7's 1,90mAh battery exceeds my expectation.
Some connectivity options of this smartphone include WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and 3G.
Price and Availability
The Gooapple i7 is available in Nigeria and other African countries like Ghana, Kenya, and Malaysia since Africa is the major marketing region for made in China phones.
You can buy Gooapple i7 online (either search for Gooapple i7 amazon or Jumia) or from an offline retail store in Nigeria
Gooapple i7 price in Nigeria ranges from 50,000 Naira to 70,000 Naira, which is almost one-eighth of the iPhone 7 price in Nigeria.

Tech Lass's Verdict
Every popular smartphone now has a clone or duplicate thanks to Chinese smartphone makers who are not relenting on their effort.
We've seen an Infinix Hot Note Clone as with several others such as Samsung Galaxy clones, HTC clones, and Gionee clones.
Even though it might be quite amusing to see a China phone like Tecno being cloned by a Chinese, one may have a rethink when it comes to the iPhone 7 clone.
The GooApple i7 is one of the best iPhone 7 clones you'll find in the market, but this is a real case scenario of where looks can be deceiving.
Look at it this way,
While they adhered to the rule that: 'if you must copy, copy from the best', and have made this phone with admirable specs such as large RAM, battery capacity, and high-resolution Cameras; the phone still sucks which does not come as a surprise since they're competing with the best.
I think you'd be better off buying an Infinix or Tecno smartphone in the same price range than a smartphone that might not even recognize your fingerprint.😜
Also,
If you want to buy a fairly used iPhone 7 online, watch out for these specs in order not to buy a fake iPhone 7 like the GooApple i7, because even though you know how to check original iPhone using IMEI, this smartphone also comes with one.
Conclusively,
If it is not the iPhone made by Apple, then it is not an iPhone. Shikena😳
How to Check Original iPhone or Fake
Here's how to differentiate between a real iPhone from a fake iPhone like the Goophone i7 even though you can't check the serial number.
- If on connection with a computer iTunes does not recognize or detect the said iPhone, then it's most likely fake.
- It is an original iPhone if it can launch the Siri application installed on the device.
- A real iPhone comes with a five lobbed screw nut, while a cloned iPhone features the regular screw used in most phones.
- An original iPhone features an Apple Logo at the back, while a replica of the iPhone might not come with one but a made in China logo.
- The picture quality of text and images on a real iPhone have life-like colors and are close to what you see with your eyes, while the colors on a duplicate iPhone 7's screen will either be dull or overly bright.
- Original iPhones usually come with different inbuilt memory storage models having a capacity of either 8GB, 16GB, 64GB, 32GB, or 128GB and without an expandable storage slot, thus, a fake iPhone like the GooApple i7 should easily be spotted by you.
- If on booting the iPhone in question, you are welcomed with a display message, then welcome to your fake iPhone😆. A real iPhone while booting displays only a logo.
- If the iOS store icon on key press takes you to Google PlayStore instead of Apple store, then it's a fake iPhone. You might do well to download these Android apps and games that will still give you an enjoyable experience even with a fake iPhone 7 or 5S.

These are the specs of the GooApple i7, a 2016 clone of the iPhone 7 which will guide you on how to spot a fake iPhone 7/5S or how to check an iPhone original or duplicate.
