The Star S4 N9500 is a Chinese Samsung Galaxy S4. It costs less than a third as much as the Galaxy S4 and looks almost exactly the same despite having really impressive specs.

It has a 5.0 inch super HD IPS display, MTK6589 chipset with 1.2GHz quad core Cortex A7, Power SGX544 GPU, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, Android 4.2, 12MP back camera and 8MP front camera and 3G-enabled dual-SIM slots.

This video is a detailed unboxing of the Star S4 N9500. The accessories it comes with include two 2100mAh batteries, a flip cover, a hard plastic case, headphones and USB cable and a power charger.

Since this unboxing we’ve used the phone quite a bit and have found that its screen is lovely (and high resolution) and the 12 megapixel camera isn’t bad either. Even better, it has a great battery life as well as dual-SIM capability.

Stay tuned for much more including a full benchmark test of the phone as well as our official review coming soon.
