Well, the Galaxy Note 5 is the latest target of the photocopiers in the world's most populous country. Local manufacturer UMi is gearing up to launch a device called ROME, and a picture of the phone published by Phone Arena makes it clear where the design has been lifted from. The ROME even has the same curved sides at the back, and a similar looking camera module. The golden paintjob on the phone is similar too, and it's one of the nicer Galaxy clones that we've seen.
It might have a copied design, but the UMi ROME does seem to have an important weapon to attract consumers: The phone apparently comes with 3GB of RAM at a price of $90. It's not a high-end phone though, and it will be very interesting to see how this thing looks from the front when UMi launches it next month.
