Motorola mimic’s Apple iPhone X

Motorola’s new high-end Moto P30 6.2-inch phone has launched in China, looking uncannily like the Apple iPhone X.

Unveiled just hours after press renders of the smartphone appeared online, Motorola has been criticised for revealing a “shameless” copy of the iPhone X as its new model.

Similar to the iPhone X, the Motorola P30 boasts a metal and glass design with rounded corners, a sizeable notch at the top of its display, and a vertical dual camera array on its backside that’s almost indistinguishable to that found on Apple’s flagship.

Moto P30 comes with an octa-core Snapdragon 636 processor, 6GB of RAM, up to 128GB of storage, a 6.2-inch display with a resolution of 2246×1080 pixels, and a 3000mAh battery. For the camera, Motorola has included a 16MP sensor with a 5MP secondary sensor on the back — the system makes use of some sort of AI to take shots with “more refined depth of field effect”, much like the iPhone’s portrait mode camera. The device also ships with Android 8.0.

Moto P30 will go on sale next month, starting at 2,099 RMB which is roughly around $300. It’s available in black, white, and two-tone purple/blue model.

Motorola is basically making an iPhone X that runs Android. But is that so bad? ? https://t.co/kqbj5zB1yq
