Lenovo recently unveiled its latest smartphone called the Sisley S90, and it looks a lot like Apple's iPhone 6.
The popular smartphone and computer manufacturer from China has come up with a device that has the same design as the recently released flagship phone from the Cupertino-based company.
The Chinese smartphone has the similar metal body and rounded edges like the iPhone 6, similar color options, and its speaker is even placed at the exact same location.
Gizmobic unveiled the photos in its website last week.
Though the phones have similar appearances, the internal features are very different from each other. Lenovo's Sisley S90 comes with a 5-inch Super-AMOLED HD display, a 1.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 SoC, an Adreno 306 GPU with 1 GB RAM and 16 GB ROM. It is also dual-SIM enabled and features a 13-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front secondary camera.
These specs are far different from iPhone 6, which has a 4.7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display, a dual-core 1.4 GHz Cyclone CPU and PowerVR GX6450 GPU with 1 GB RAM and and an option of 16 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB memory options. The primary camera is 8 megapixels, while the front-facing secondary camera is 1.2 megapixels.
The Chinese tech manufacturer denied that their latest product is a copycat, saying, "external similarities [...] Considering the product design lifecycle of any smartphone – at least a year in planning and prototyping – it's not possible to copy a design so quickly."
This is not the first time that the iPhone had been copied by other manufacturers, such as Micromax, Xiaomi, Lava, as well as Samsung. But Lenovo's, by far, has the most glaring similarity among all the other devices that look like Apple's smartphone. Even their promotional ad looks exactly the same.
Lenovo Sisley S90 will only be released in China, and it will come with a price tag of Yuan 1,999 or around US$330.
