Do you remember the last time a smartphone that looks like the Apple iPhone 6? That’d be the HTC One A9 that we covered previously. Of course, HTC isn’t the only one doing that and we found others too that looks even more painfully obvious to the iPhone models. Here are the models that we think looks like an Apple iPhone clone that most people have never heard of in no particular order:-

Criteria - 1) Not affiliated with Apple 2) Design model similarities 3) Back cover doesn't count

In the far east side of Asia, a Japanese blog called Mocotakara (which is known for gathering accurate information of past unreleased Apple products) have claimed that Apple is actually thinking of removing the 3.5mm headset jack and replacing it with a Lightning port for headsets for next year’s Apple iPhone 7.

LEAGOO Malaysia is back with another classic series, the LEAGOO C2. What separates the C2 from the rest like the Elite, Alfa and lead series smartphone is that it was designed for customers who are looking for a secondary or low maintenance easy-to-use device. And it only costs RM69, (wow!)

Featuring a solid body with an LCD colour display and 1.3MP main camera, it supports a microSD card up to 32GB worth of storage too. It also has a Dual SIM Dual Standby mode, which means it is capable of having two SIM cards with only one transceiver, minimizing the troubles of needing to carry multiple phones everywhere. And just like the good old days, the smartphone can last 10 days of heavy usage even though the battery is only 600 mAh.

After a bit of teasing, Huawei Malaysia have sent out the save-the-date notices confirming that yes, the Huawei Nexus 6P is coming to Malaysia and as soon as 8 December 2015 (next week). No official pricing details yet (some say RM2698 but Huawei says to wait and see) but as a refresher, the Nexus 6P features tech specs that include a 2K resolution display, a fingerprint sensor, dual front speakers, USB Type-C ports and a 12.3MP rear camera with super large 1.55-micron pixel Sony sensor that can record 4K video at 30fps. It also comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out of the box. Check out the video below for more recaps.

When the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 was revealed on 24 November, it gained quite a buzz over its mighty 64-bit Intel Atom X5-Z85000 processor with 2GB dual-channel LPDDR3 RAM. Not to mention, the rest of its tech specs are also most impressive. To recap, the device has a 16GB and 64GB internal storage variant, a 7.9-inch IPS display with 2048 x 1536 resolution, 8MP and 5MP for the main and front camera, supports 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, runs on MIU7 and the battery is 6190 mAh. 

With such immense tech specs for a tablet, the dark grey/champagne gold full metal device easily scored over 85000 points on the AnTuTu benchmark. This makes the Mi Pad 2 one of the highest performing tablets (using Android), landing it in third placing just behind smartphones like the Huawei Mate 8 and Meizu Pro 5.

The ASUS ZenFone Selfie and ZenFone 2 Laser both utilize a protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and in a recent promo video are apparently sushi-proof.
