LeTV, a popular video platform in China similar to Hulu, is on track to launch its first two smartphones and… they’re blatant iPhone clones.
The company posted a teaser image of its LeTV Android phone that reveals the design of the gadget, and the copying is so blatant that one has to look closely to actually see the differences.
What do we have in the LeTV that is so similar to the iPhone: the color, the speaker grill styling, even the trapezoid plastic bands on the back are there with the same color, shape and form. It seems that unlike the iPhone, though, the LeTV features a slightly curved aluminum back (rather than a flat one) and flat sides (rather than curved ones).
LeTV, is one of China's biggest online video platforms featuring over 100,000 TV series episodes and more than 5,000 full-featured movies. The company has earlier teased a phone that is expected to be much more compact than the iPhone while having the same screen size. The pricing of this upcoming LeTV phone is also expected to be lower than that of an iPhone.
