Who wouldn’t want to buy an iPhone X? But looking at the price tag, most people can’t get hold of it. However, if you don’t have a big pocket and still love to get hold of something that looks like an iPhone X, you have a solution.
Ever since Apple introduced its 10th-anniversary smartphone last year, several iPhone X clones had surfaced in the mobile world. Although, these smartphones are look-a-like they are far inferior in performance to the actual beast.
Without further ado, let’s dive into the different iPhone X clones that are coming out from China.
Leagoo S9
Leagoo boldly showcased its smartphone Leagoo S9 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 considering that it doesn’t only copy the iPhone X but also has taken inspiration for a name from Samsung’s new flagship device, Galaxy S9 which was launched at the same platform.
The company calls Leagoo S9 the “World’s First Android Notch Display Smartphone” which is priced at $300. It has a fingerprint scanner at the back whereas the notch houses a Face Access feature which claims to unlock the device in 0.1 seconds.
