A chinese company has apparently announced a new cellular phone that looks remarkably similar to Apple's iPhone, according to one report. The new phone called M8 -- which is said to be designed by Chinese firm Meizu -- features touch-screen functionality and boasts a smaller footprint than Apple's iPhone with an accompanying smaller screen, but offers a higher 720x480 resolution than Apple's 320x480 iPhone. The M8 is driven by an ARM11 processor with video codec support, according to VR-Zone.com, and offers a built-in 3.0-megapixel digital camera on the back side with a 0.3-megapixel camera facing forward. The M8 runs Windows CE 6.0 and offers both Bluetooth as well as TV-out connectivity, catering to GSM+TD-SCMA for mobile communication.

Interesting, I've seen two different version of the M8 now. One in black with more buttons on the front, and the white one up there. Hoping for more information...

Wow , looks very similiar. And it has a lot of functionalities(and better ones) that the iphone doesnt. Im wondering what the price will be on this.

I wonder if M8 will also have iTunes. That would be uber cool. xD

He was probably being sarcastic

[DKYang]

I've read people calling it a phone and then another calling it a PMP.

Either way, looks like Meizu is an Apple fan with following there designs.

woah looks better and its smaller? than the iphone... i wonder how much its gunna be.

[dot1q]

I'll bet it's going to be better than the iPhone (feature wise). Whats new?... xP

[mz_kimmi_dee]

its easy to save on hardware for features when you steal all the intellectual design. if this chinese company paid designers to design the phone instead of copying off apple then their price would be just as high

This isn't the first time in my opinion that Meizu copied Apple a little.
The Meizu mini player has a striking resemblance to the iPod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ropL3ZnteIs&eurl=
(btw, Meizu has such a ridiculous ad for that Mp3 player)

It's easy to generate renders and then make up spec lists which look better than the competition. We don't actually have any confirmation of when this is coming, how much, and whether the listed specs are final.

But hey, it looks nice!

Sorry.. I think you took my comment the wrong way. It was a sarcastic remark in regards to the mp3 player market. I agree with your statement wholly...

[orochipotato]

I own one of their product the Meizu m6. and it freakken ROCKS! awesome player and very reliable. So I believe the M8 will be cheaper and better as well with its different features.

[springyangel]
