Copycat Android Phone From Gionee Includes 3D Touch Quick Actions, Peek and Pop

Meh, let the image conscious ignorant/uneducated buy it. These "copycat" devices may bear a passing resemblance to certain iPhone design cues, under the right light and through squinted eyes, but EVERYTHING the iPhone has, is EVERYTHING these junkers DON'T have, and never will.

The people that will buy this will be the type of people who buy fake things to impress their peers; not only are they stupid enough to WANT to impress others, their friends must be pretty stupid if they swallow this (if it even mattered.)

So it seems like an iPhone/Samsung Galaxy S6 hybrid. Seems like the company have no ideas of their own they just cobbled together what they think is good about the iPhone and Galaxy flagship and made this phone. Good luck to them. I'm sure it will sell in China.

Had the iPhone 6S not been released, I find it very hard to believe that this phone would look and behave as it currently does.

If it's a stretch calling it a copy, then let's agree on "fundamentally inspired by"

It's looks more like a note 5 iIMHO

Haven't you just described the typical iPhone user ..

It looks a lot like a Note 5 honestly.

FYI, Gionee is also the ODM of BLU phones out in the West. For anyone who has lived in Asia, Chinese OEMs copy Apple all the time. The Elife design has looked like that for years now. These articles are LATE just like when I saw HTC being accused of being a copycat with the A9 when the iPhone 6 series copied the same antenna lines and screen size/dimensions of the M7.

Now if Apple can copy Gionee by adding a 5000 mAh capacity like in the Marathon series phones. Putting sub-4000 mAh while making them unremovable, FHD/QHD, and faster SoCs has been the biggest scam towards consumers thanks to OEMs and carriers wanting you to update every couple of years. Masking an inefficient battery with fast charging will actually degrade it faster.

We should be having 20+ hours of SOT these days. Over 5-10 hrs SOT isn't good enough and this applies to all flagship phones across all the different OSes. Gionee is headed in the right direction along with Lenovo, Huawei, and ASUS packing large batteries on certain phones.
