I found these pictures on techeblog, at this linky:
http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/pictures-meizu-m8-mini-one-vs-iphone

It is the Meizu M8 Mini One. It's such a blatant rip-off, but it still doesn't look as good as the original. It is a little smaller than the iPhone and has a 720 x 480 pixel display and a 3 megapixel camera.
They're getting closer....

I hate it more than anything that companies are making phones like the iPhone. Can't they come up with their own ideas instead of customizing someone else?


:apple: FTW!

Wow. It's even smaller than the iPhone. It's like the iPhone Air. I've gotta have one. ;)

I see all of these uber-knockoffs and keep expecting to see a Microsoft logo on them for some reason.

I am really surprised that there aren't lawsuits against some of these. I mean I get making similar-looking products, but some of these look so close that I'd call them counterfeit.

Yeah, no kidding. No one invents anything new any more.

We industrial field application handheld touch designers had simple, icon-driven, large button applications with gestures and flick scrolling LONG before Apple came along and pretended to invent it all.

When the iPhone was announced, I really thought that Apple was going to come up with some new UI paradigms.
