Motorola introduces a new iPhone X color variant—the P30

Motorola had a different approach to design. It was unique and set itself apart from the competition. However, it still lagged behind its competitors. Now, at an event in China, Motorola launched the iPhone X P30, with a color variant that it copied from Huawei.

To start off, it’s a total rip-off of the iPhone X. Big notch, vertical camera alignment, facial recognition—you name it. And if that wasn’t enough, it copied the Huawei P20’s iridescent twilight color. Luckily, it forgot to remove the headphone jack.

Specs

SoC Snapdragon 636
RAM 6GB
Storage 64 or 128GB; microSD card slot
Display 6.2-inch 2248×1080 IPS LCD
Battery 3000 mAh
Rear Cameras 16MP (1.25μm, f/1.8 aperture), 5MP depth-sensing camera (f/2.2 aperture)
Front-facing Camera 5MP (1.25μm, f/2.0 aperture)
Software Android 8.1 Oreo
Measurements  154.9×74.8×7.6 mm, 175g

The phone has an aluminum frame and glass on both sides. The fingerprint sensor is still at the back and it supports face unlock too.

There’s still a bottom chin, though. If that didn’t steer you off yet, the bottom chin has a rather large Motorola logo on it. Also, don’t the wallpapers on the Motorola P30 and iPhone X look similar?

And the marketing?
