The new Phab Plus smartphone is basically an iPhone 6 clone

Lenovo’s new Phab Plus is a 6.8-inch device, making it look more like a small tablet than a phablet. The Company say the idea behind this product is that many people want to use their tablets as their phones, but they currently need to carry two devices. Lenovo says that the Phab Plus is the best of both worlds.

The device features two SIM slots, Android 5.0, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera with a front flash. It has 32GB of storage and runs with a Snapdragon 615 octa-core system with 2GB of RAM.

This phone is so big that the company had to add a one-hand feature that lets you shrink down the entire display to the bottom left or bottom right corner. Techrunch reports that it will be available later this month for $299 in the U.S.

Now, back to the design ‘copycating’. As we all know, the iPhone 6 comes in silver, gold and space gray. The Phab Plus comes in… titanium silver, champagne gold and gunmetal grey. The Phab Plus has the same metal unibody design technique with the same plastic lines for the antennas just like the iPhone. There are two visible screws at the bottom of the device, same as the iPhone 6. The only notable difference between both devices is that the front glass isn’t curved on the edges.

Lenovo isn’t the only manufacturer that blatantly copes competitor designs. Xiaomi, for example, is the king of copying designs with an enviable track record. But it doesn’t mean that these companies shouldn’t be called out.

The iPhone 6 is a popular phone, but its design isn’t even that great. It’s very slippery and many iPhone 6 Plus owners have dropped their phone on the floor numerous times. So please Lenovo, try harder next time, this thing is not rocket science.
