I know all the bootleg phone cheat codes #tech #shanzhai

I dial “*#8375#” on a knockoff iPhone 2G. It freezes for a moment, then opens a screen with debug info (build, serial number, hardware version, etc.)

world's greatest speakers (this was preloaded on the phone BTW) #tech #shanzhai

A bootleg iPhone 2G in the music app, playing an MP3 of “She” by Groove Coverage. The file name consists of random numbers, the phone’s carrier is shown as “FurbNet”, and after a bit the camera pans around to show a DIY 2G network setup, before going back to the phone.
