LG G7 may look like an iPhone X clone; renders suggest

LG G7 may borrow iPhone X's most hated feature, the notch.

LG fans were quite disappointed after the company announced that the LG G7 would not launch at MWC 2018. It further revealed that the smartphone is being developed from the scratch. However, the South Korean manufacturer showcased a prototype of its upcoming flagship to carriers and industry insiders at MWC 2018.

As is often the case, an anonymous leakster clicked a few images and took a hands-on video of the alleged LG G7. Well, the smartphone's design looks identical to the iPhone X. It has the same full-screen display with a notch at the top. The bezels around the display are minimal. Further, there is a vertical dual camera setup at the rear panel.

TechnoBuffalo has now posted a bunch of LG G7 renders that are based on the prototype device presented at this year's MWC. While this is not a leak, the concept renders give us a clear idea of the upcoming smartphone, in terms of design. Well, if the G7 turns out to look something like this, LG fans might not be too impressed.


There are already too many Android phones out there that look like the iPhone X. And we can't think of any good reason why would LG copy Apple's iPhone X so blatantly. When it comes to small Chinese brands, it is still acceptable. But a biggie like LG should show some innovations instead of borrowing designs from others.

It is funny how iPhone X's most hated feature is all the rage in the Android community. Ever since the arrival of the 10th anniversary model of iPhone, several Android phone makers have come up with similar looking devices. Most significantly, the newly unveiled Asus ZenFone 5 and ZenFone also sport the same design as the iPhone X.

No matter what, we surely don't want LG G7 to look like an iPhone X copycat.
