The five best Apple iPhone X clones ranked: Android smartphones with a notch
Walk into any electronics store to buy a new handset and the first thing most of us will say of any we pick up is: this looks just like the iPhone X. But what’s under the hood? The five best ways to get the Apple look for half the price
Remember how Apple was ridiculed for the notch in the iPhone X’s display? Well, as is usual in consumer tech circles, Apple has had the last laugh: almost every flagship smartphone released by other manufacturers since has followed the design trend, except for Samsung.
And truth be told, if the South Korean tech giant continues to hold out over the notch, it is probably more because of ego than anything else, because the notch design has proven practical – especially on Android phones, whose status bar at the top of the screen contains crucial information on its left and right but is always empty in the middle.
Functionality is one thing, blatant copying – from the notch to the entire handset design language – is another. Walk into any phone store today and the first thing that comes to mind for most casual buyers will be: “this looks just like the iPhone X!”
So which Android release is the biggest iPhone X rip-off on the market today?
