They mock you and then imitate you, This was the title of a previous article on the iPhone site. We recommend that you read it and then follow this article with us because you will find an exaggerated example of the issue of ridicule and then imitation. When the iPhone X was released, most companies mocked the bump of the iPhone X and it was not practical at all, If we should expect that no one imitates it, especially the major companies, but something else happened ...

Is now the bad bump in iPhone X became beautiful in Android phones!


World Bump World Congress 2018 Barcelona

The matter increased in a cynical way at the February 2018 World Mobile Conference in Barcelona. As if this conference was held to find out who is the best imitation of the iPhone X, especially its notch.

If only these companies had tried to imitate something as important as the facial imprint that lies inside this bump. On the contrary, some companies, led by Noa and Ulefone, rushed to present their versions at the Mobile World Congress without specifying the interface of programs that fit the new imitation format.

Even the well-known ASUS company, which is considered one of the most important consumer electronics companies, has also introduced a replica of the iPhone X called Zenfone 5, which is the most exciting and infuriating at the same time among all the imitations. And surprisingly, she was proud to present a beautiful and attractive bump ASUS provided this phone with high capabilities as it provided it with amplifiers, modern sensors provided by Sony, 6 GB RAM and up to 64 memory, Snapdragon 636 processor. The 6.2-inch screen has a resolution of 2246 x 1080. Its price starts from 499 dollars.


The purpose of imitation

The truth is that this method of imitation is defective and is not appropriate for major companies, whether they are ASUS, LG, Huawei, or other companies. We don't understand why they use the protrusion to mimic the iPhone X? Although it is very clear that Apple has had to use this notch to place the fingerprint sensors, the depth camera, the ambient light sensors, the earphones, and others. These counterfeiting companies, their phones still have large bottom edges, and this proves that they did not put that bump for a specific function, and only put it for the decoration with which they beautify their phones, as many claim.


What about the LG and Huawei bump ?!

It seems that LG is working on a phone project that closely resembles the iPhone X, called the G7, and is likely to be announced next June, which was supposed to be launched in sync with the Samsung S9, but the company delayed it for another three months.

Huawei also introduced its Huawei P20, which is expected to be launched in late March. This phone looks very similar to the iPhone X also from the front and the back. Even the location of the rear camera and the flash is the same place on the iPhone X, except that Huawei excelled because it was the only company that provided a very small bump compared to the rest of the bumps.


Why do companies resort to imitation?

Since all smart phone manufacturers follow a simple design philosophy, the problem of adding charm and elegance to devices appears because they only turn into a large screen. So Apple took a risky step as usual and put the notch in the iPhone X, so Apple customers accept this bulge because they know the capabilities and features it contains. As for these counterfeits, we believe that many people will react differently to them, and these copies will perish as quickly as they came.

We also believe that one of the reasons why some companies imitate Apple designs is their inability to come up with something new, or that they have been stuck in their old designs for their previous devices for some time and can only add minor improvements, as happened with Samsung in the S9 similar to its little twin brother S8. In fact, that's okay, the design is still attractive and wows everyone. I wish all other Android phones would follow the example of Samsung.

Did companies like ASUS, LG and Huawei have to take the boldness and emulate Apple's designs? With what he will be exposed to from criticism and bad reputation. Will Android continue to swim in the Apple Sea? Let us know in the comments.
