No, Cect P168 is not the perfect copy of an iPhone! Rather an imitation. But it was sold 6 times less expensive! Made in China, this phone just borrows its design and the home menu. It is capable of sending MMS messages and has two SIM card slots. The iPhone, no. The Cect P168, however, refuse to move from one SIM to another during our tests! He is also depicted as tri-band or quad by retailer. Therefore difficult to separate things with this device …

He also blamed its sound quality. The Cect P168 is indeed leaving out a shrill sound slightly during calls. It offers a range of 4 days standby and 4 hours in Communications. Comes with 2 batteries, this phone is charging when connected to a USB port on a computer. No AC adapter is provided.

Touch screen user interface and lower grades

Its touch screen, 3.5 inches, is difficult to control with your finger. Better to use with a stylus. The Cect P168 integrates a proprietary system whose user interface has little in common with that of the iPhone. Despite some awkward translations in French, its menus are still quite understandable and sometimes very funny. Thus, “Audio Player” in French is “Audio Player”, “Organize” Organizer “,” To do list “To do list …”. An honorable mention to the translation of “(USB) Mass Storage” which becomes “Storing massive!

Like the iPhone, the Cect p168 integrates a sensor with 2 million pixels. Photos taken with the camera are mediocre qualities. This smartphone is also portable audio and video. In this role, the audio quality is quite correct. Rendering video is poor. The transfer of MP3 songs, JPEG photos and MPEG4 videos done by simply dragging and dropping. Good point. The model we received shipped a memory card 1GB A capacity rather low. The Cect p168 does not synchronize its contents with iTunes, or even Outlook. And it does not serve the Internet Tablet Wi-Fi, unlike the iPhone.

Despite their differences, the Cect p168 does not measure up to the iPhone. Considering its price, it should not expect miracles. Her hull is made of plastic. Its touch screen and user interface are much inferior to that offered by the iPhone. Its design is awkward. But it was blamed primarily its sound quality and the impossibility, in our case, to juggle a SIM card to another. We can not advise you that phone!
