A Galaxy S3 for the commons....

Well, the phone pictured above shoould be familiar to most of you readers by now. Yes, the Galaxy S3.
Now what if I tell you that you could have it for just about Rs. 10,000 ($187) ?

Seems too good to be true? Well it isn't.
When you spend this less than the standard cost of around Rs 36,000 ($650), there tends to be a catch.
And here it is the fact that this phone is not from Samsung!

So dear readers, what you see here is the HDC Galaxy S3...
This is the heights of KIRF (Keeping It Real Fake) that you have in front of your eyes.

So when you pay the $187, what you get is a phone that looks and feels like the Samsung Galaxy S3 (minus the Samsung brand name). They have even managed to include a TouchWiz like UI into this.

Even though its not the Samsung Galaxy S3, what you get is still a pretty decent phone with good features.
A 4.7 inch screen, Gingerbread, 5 MP primary camera, dual sim capability and so on.

Here is a hands on  video of the phone.

This is what i found when I tried.

Well then, go ahead and get yoursleves a Galaxy S3, or save some money and buy the original one from Samsung.
