A replica iPad 2 has surfaced and it comes with a 1.2 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 3 megapixel camera and Android as the operating system. What's interesting to note that its actually a tad thicker than the legitimate Apple iPad 2 but still thinner than the original iPad.
Up till now all of the replicas that we have seen, including those of the unannounced iPhone 5, this iPad 2 replica has to be one of the most exquisitely made replicas of all time. Looks like the bootleggers paid much attention to detail as the design and construction is certainly at par with that of Apple's original iPad 2.
This iPad 2 replica is powered by an 1.2 GHz Freescale iMX535 processor alongside 1GB of RAM. There's a 4GB internal flash storage for data, media and all other content. No changes whatsoever have been made to the dimensions with respect to those of an original iPad 2. This replica has the same 9.7" screen with 1024x768 multi-touch display. The front camera is of 2 megapixels whereas the back camera is of 3 megapixels. The only thing that this iPad 2 replica lacks is iOS firmware as it is reportedly going to run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread customized to give the look and feel of iOS.
Apart from that, this iPad 2 replica has Bluetooth and 3G connectivity. There's a dual-channel speaker as well for blasting out your favorite tunes. Exact dimensions are 243 x 190 x 11.5 mm. The replica has a 7600 mAh battery than can provide standby time of a couple of weeks and can continuously play video for over 7 hours.
We must say that this is one of the most impressive replicas that we have ever seen. Usually they are just badly manufactured device that are struggling to replicate the design of a legitimate product. However it is evident in this pictures that this iPad 2 replica has been manufactured with such attention to detail that it might end up selling a number of units. It would also be very easy to scam someone with this replica iPad 2 however the fact that there is no Apple logo on the back and markings are missing, may save potential buyers from being scammed. Either that or they will have to be incredibly stupid to think they're buying an original iPad 2.
Unfortunately, no price or release date has been revealed as of now. We'll let you know when that happens in case you want to pick on up just for the fun of it. One thing's sure, it obviously won't cost as much as the real iPad 2 does. However, in the meantime, tell us are you impressed by this work of /replica/ art?
