Last month too, one particular manufacturer from China called No. 1 was in news for their claim that they will be creating a Samsung Galaxy S5 clone
No.1, who started to make a name for themselves last year with numerous Samsung and Apple clones, have named their S5 clone the No.1 S7 and say they have based the design of the flagship phone on concept images of the Samsung S5, which they believe to be accurate.

Now if you were wondering if the handset will make its way outside of China, you’d probably be out of luck as these handsets are typically limited to the Chinese market, so if you really wanted one you’d probably have to find a way to get it imported.
