Strange gadgets

A giant fake S20 Ultra that he disliked, apart from the finish and size.

A correctly sized S20 Ultra clone that copies Samsung's software with inverted colours.

A near-identical clone of the other fake phones, and equally bad.

Looks good on the camera, but the software is stock Android with no effort.

A Mate 40 Pro clone with swapped branding and Mate 30 wallpapers.

A phone that doubles as a car, which was somewhat anticlimactic to open.

Loved the unibody metal design, even if it isn't feasible as a real smartphone.

Did not work as advertised for photos, but is a very smooth ball.

A knock-off laptop that booted in Chinese and defeated him after six hours.

A $1 tablet that ugly as it is, actually boots and works.

The pricier tablet looks respectable and he liked the design, but he wouldn't recommend it.

A 128MB USB stick sold as a 5G force field, which he calls a deliberate scam and a total waste of money.

A splash-proof nail clipper that works fine, though he barely had any nails to test it on.

A smart ukulele with LED guides that makes a great learning tool, though the app's song selection is limited.

A tiny, cheap, comfortable shaver that got the result he wanted.

A satisfying Bluetooth Rubik's-style cube that pairs with an app to teach you how to solve it.

A jacket with two heat pads that works well and would be welcome in the UK, though it needs a power bank slotted in permanently.

Actually a fake Galaxy S10 Plus with convincing Samsung software, but a terrible display and fake specs.

Looks unconvincing from the back but a semi-decent copy from the front, with obviously fake specs.

Software was appalling and even worse than the cheaper iPhone clone, with a fake fingerprint setup.

Terrible viewing angles, a fake periscope camera claim and bezels nothing like the listing.

The cheapest clone looks vaguely like a Galaxy S9, but has a poor display, fake dual cameras and a misleading listing.

The best-looking of the Wish clones, with a convincing design, but the specs and images are misleading.

Fully recreated an older Huawei software skin and a better camera than the other clones, but the bezels in the listing were misleading.
