Unbelievable: ZTE also copies the iPhone!

I wasn't surprised when exotic brand LeTV launched smartphones imitating the iPhone. I didn't like when Realme followed suit and when I saw the latest Axon, my hands literally dropped. Take a look at ZTE Axon 50 Lite and judge for yourself...

Take a look at the Axon 50 Lite camera - doesn't it look familiar? Does the outline of the housing and its sides remind you of a flagship? Unfortunately, it brings me and I am far from positively assessing the styling of the new ZTE model - although the smartphone is not bad at all. It is a pity that ZTE tried to force its inexpensive smartphone to resemble the iPhone - but you can see that these are the needs of the market. It will simply "sell"... It's a pity, because I believe that ZTE employs really talented stylists who can afford their own invention. But apparently there is a lot of demand for cheap phones that look from a distance more desirable and more expensive.

As you might expect, the Axona 50 Lite shares only a similar appearance with the iPhone. Technically, they're two different worlds. ZTE Axon 50 Lite has a 6.6-inch LCD screen with Full HD resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate. The screen has a notch for a 5-megapixel selfie camera. On the back, we have a 50-megapixel camera accompanied by a background blurr and a macro camera, and the whole is powered by a 5000 mAh battery with 22.5-watt charging. The heart of the device is an unspecified, 1.6 GHz octa-core processor, combined with a rather unusual set of memory, 4+256 GB. In addition, there is up to 10 GB of virtual RAM and a place for a microSD card. All together, it won't be expensive and will allow the people of Mexico, where the hardware was shown, to pretend to own an iPhone. ..
