Keepin’ it real fake: Xperia Arc KIRF has KIRFy dual-core processor (video)

Is that 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 -powered Xperia Arc simply too darn fast? We can have just the KIRF you are looking for. an easy phone with a straightforward name: the “DR.” This petite pretender shaves 0.2-inches off of the Arc’s 4.2-inch display, adding only 0.03mm of thickness along the manner. Forget that Adreno 205 graphics processor, this baby runs on a Meditek MTK6516 ARM compatible processor, a setup often mistakenly advertised as dual-core with a whopping 416MHz core for running Android 2.2.1, and a second 208MHz core dedicated exclusively for the wireless radio. For the record, radio-dedicated partitions are often skipped on core counts. Wrap it up with premo luxuries like a three.5-inch headphone jack and a couple of megapixel camera, and you have an Xperia knock-off that’s… well, pretty timid. But hey, it is only 1000 yuan ($154), so a minimum of you may get dangerously near Xperia territory without shattering the bank. If that’s enough for you, take a look at a hands-on video (in Chinese) after the break.
