There seems to be a certain liking at the moment for new smartphones that have many resembles to the iPhones. One such example is the Spice Mi-549 that hasn't yet been officially launched but shall soon hit the markets by year end.
The Spice Mi-549 has been listed online at many sites and is stated at 7999 INR presently. This is probably the second such ‘imitation’ of the iPhone this month, the first one being Lenovo Sisley S90! These cheap iPhone 6 look alike are amazingly furbished with features that can beat down the pricier phones hands down any day of any month. Ingenious, smart and the sleek design allows this phone to stand apart in addition to its minimal pricing.
Spice mobiles in India present Spice Mi 549 has many similarities with the iPhone 6 plus. To start with, the volume rockers and power button placements, the Unibody design language of Spice Mi-549 is strikingly similar to the slim and curvaceous Apple product. On top of that, the camera bump on the left top-corner and the two dark grey lines situated at the top and below respectively on the rear-side of the body is again uncannily similar.
The iPhone-inspired design of Spice Mi-549 is raising many eyebrows and garnering a lot of attention as iPhone 6 is not affordable for the middle class in India. Official comments from Spice are yet to be received from onto whether the “antenna bands” perform any function or is it just plain plagiarism to achieve that design perfection. The specification of Spice Mi-549 doesn't offer many surprises as the company only offers a single advantage that being its 5.5 inch full HD display over other budget level smart phones.
The Spice Mi-549 is available online at multiple sites. We’ll just have wait till the release to check it out which should be before this calendar year ends. It’s extremely uncertain as to why has “HomeShop18” listed Mi-549 in such a hurry as not even Spice has officially launched the device yet.
According to the listing this price is 11% off on MRP which is Rs. 8,999. One year manufacturer warranty is offered on the device. Also, the Spice Mi-549 is marked as “out of stock”, which increases the suspicion around the device and is a strange beginning to this phones market performance, if there would be any!
One thing is for sure, that the Spice Mi 549 has to be classified as a poor attempt to clone the Apple smartphones. And the outcome is somewhat of a weird-looking device, especially the rear panels it won't be surprising if doesn't performs as per the company’s expectations in the markets. Let’s wait and see the results for that. Fingers Crossed!
