People roast Motorola’s P30 phone for looking exactly like Apple’s iPhone X

Motorola launched a new phone this week, the
P30. -
Promotional images make it look nearly identical to
Apple’s marketing for the iPhone X — all the way down to the
wallpapers.
If you’re in the market for a new Android phone, you can do worse
than the
Motorola P30, a roughly $350 device with some quality parts,
including a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip and 128GB of storage.
People might also mistake it for a device that costs three times
as much: the $1,000 Apple iPhone X, which was launched last
fall.
Photos of the new China-bound device were made official on
Thursday, and not only do the phones share a lot of design
details — a vertical camera, a “notch” on the front of the screen
— the promotional images look nearly identical. Even the default
wallpapers on the two devices are very similar.
There is one way to tell them apart, though: Motorola has a big
logo on the front of the device.
Naturally, tech fans and enthusiasts immediately started roasting
the Levovo-owned phonemaker for ripping off Apple’s design:

Product manager: Our next flagship should follow iPhone X aesthetics, but that Huawei shit is selling hot.

Even the BBC got in on the mockery:
Decide for yourself. Here’s an official image of the Motorola
