To be fair the iPhone build quality and hardware design look like a premium product. This looks like a chinese knockoff

Hardware design on this feels entirely uninspired, Chinese knockoff of last years iPhone and Samsung devices. If they truly started from scratch and ended up here then this hardwar…
