Iphone ripoff!

Does this look familiar? It's not an Iphone:

It's Sharps new Android One S3 device.

but the similarity to a certain Apple gadget should get the wheels in your ol' noggin turning

what's the deal ?

Android One is Google's platform for "pure"Android phones .

The Tech  giant partners with companies like sharp an dxiaomi to release phones that don't have "bloatware" 

annoying , prepackaged apps or themes. This new device looks like a throwback 

we'll just say it 

sharp's Android One S3 basically looks like a clone of the iphone 5C . The device pairs colorful backs with an ebony front , and like the 5C , it's a "mid-range" device at a relatively inexpensive price point (around 300$) .

It's certainly not the only Android to ever rip some ideas from the Iphone .
