We’ve all heard the stories: Chinese manufacturers have been copying Apple’s iPhone designs for years. And not Samsung-copied-rounded-corners-type copying either, but full-blown replicas to varying degrees of accuracy. There is, however, one Chinese manufacturer who thinks this is boring and that “designs should be diversified” – Doogee has gone on the record with GizChina saying that they have made a conscious decision not to copy the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S:
“Since the birth of iphone 6/6 plus, curved edge design has been a fashion and followed by almost every manufacturer. However, DOOGEE F5 gonna say NO.”
In case you’re wondering what the Doogee F5 looks like, check out these smoking images:
While going in a complete different direction to the thing you’re trying to avoid sometimes doesn’t pay off, we have to say that the sharp edges of the Doogee F5 kind of work and the device looks quite striking overall. For those who are interested, the Doogee F5 will be available in September for $149.99 USD and comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p display, MediaTek processor, 3GB RAM, and 3,000mAh battery – kind of makes you wonder how they got the price so low.
