Motorola Under Fire For Copying iPhone X

Not trying to defend Motorola as this is definitely a blatant ripoff of the iPhone x, but are they really trying to argue that because it has a 'notch' it is the same as an iPhone x? Because there are several other phones out there with notches, like the LG G7 (or ThinQ, or whatever the hell name they feel like calling it today)

Just look at the phones lol. It’s a bit more than just the notch. Even the lock screen and wallpaper etc.  Maybe a lot of phones do look pretty similar as we move to bezeless phones, but it’s pretty mistakable for an iPhone X

Did you have some underlying point there that you were trying to get across? 

yes, I think Motorola could avoid a lawsuit if they make their phone look more like this:

Motorola, all I wanted was a updated RAZR. Now you will probably be sued out of existence and I will never get to have another phone that will take that kind of abuse.

I think Motorola has decided against being a phone abuse enabler.

Seriously, ya'll crazy for thinking that any phone that has a similar screen to apple's is a rip-off. This is actually entering potential consumer confusion territory when compared to the P20.

Yeah when you have to look closely to figure out which one is the iPhone it kinda indicates it's a copy.

Same button layout on the side as the P20, camera module is similar to both other than the flash being closer to iphone X, name is super misleading P20 vs P30, plus yes the paint job looks the same but upside down. The notch isn't the only design feature of a phone. The screen being similar is because there's pretty much 2 companies that make phone oleds and they all want the same design

I'd say in almost every regard besides the side buttons and colour scheme the P30 is much more similar to the iPhone X than it is the Huawei P20.

 

The notch is a very important design detail and for better or worse it is a distinctive design trait of the iPhone X. Most phones introducing a notch have managed to differentiate themselves from the X - this is an almost direct clone however. As a result the phone from a distance appears pretty much indistinguishable from the iPhone X - and I'd argue that for anyone but the most avid techie out there, even up close (from the front) it would be difficult to see a difference, colour scheme aside.

It was a mutual agreement.

So your position is that there are no other phone designs other than the iPhone X

Up close the phone is almost indistinguishable from the P20...

They moved the flash into the middle of the P20's module, and extended the notch wider....

As far as I am concerned all phones are the same.  Put a notch on  my nokia 3 and it will look like an iphone.

Presumably then the P20 is also indistinguishable from the iPhone X?

 

The differences you point out are differences which (in isolation at least) copy specific iPhone X design traits. Yes there are similarities to the P20 - but the silhouette of the phone is somewhat different whereas it's practically indistinguishable from the iPhone. It also lacks the fingerprint sensor beneath the display which makes for quite a drastic difference in design between the two.

P20

Spoiler

P30 (THAT FUCKING NAME)

Spoiler

iPhone X

Spoiler

 

If you honestly believe the P30 is closer to the iPhone you are blind or an apple fanboy...

 

So iphone get flash position, camera module shape and notch size

 

P20 gets buttons, colour, phone model name, camera module shape

 

P30 also say motorola right on the front which is a garbage design choice but make it way more clear it's not apple.

You can see it in the very image of the P20 that you just linked.

Except for that Oppo phone with a slide up camera,all phones are pretty much a rectangle with a screen on the front, dual camera lens on the back sticking out. Add a notch and they're copying someone else in some way. Though i think with this P30 it's a really stupid copy,even more dumb than having a screen notch as a "feature".

How could they possibly think they'd get away with such a blatant ripoff...
