When it comes to drawing design
“inspirations” for a smartphone,
Apple holds the fancy of plenty of
smartphone manufacturers – Xiaomi,
Micromax, Lava and, how can we
forget, Samsung. But if there was an
award for the best Apple copycat, the
Lenovo Sisley S90 would be a sure
shot winner.
Not only has it blatantly copied the
design of the iPhone 6, but has also
gone one step further to copy the
promotion shots that were used to
market Apple’s latest flagship.

Lenovo has admitted to The
Independent that “there are external
similarities, but considering the
product design lifecycle of any
smartphone – at least a year in
planning and prototyping it’s not
possible to copy a design so quickly.”
The phone sells only in China has the
similar rounded edges, edge-to-edge
screen and even the wallpapers are
the same. The phone offers a 5-inch
HD display, 16GB of internal storage,
dual-SIM and NFC connectivity and a
1.2GHz quad-core processor.
