Little Pepper is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer that is known for shamelessly copying the designs of other smartphones. The company is back with a new phone called the Little Pepper X50 Pro and it borrows more than its name from the Vivo X50 Pro.

The Little Pepper X50 Pro is not a 1:1 clone of Vivo‘s phone. As you can see, it opts for a waterdrop notch and not a punch-hole. The 6.5-inch HD display is curved too and the size of its bezels is similar to those of the Vivo X50 Pro.

On the rear, is where the Little Pepper X50 Pro looks more like the Vivo X50 Pro with its camera design. The large rectangular camera housing is home to four cameras. The main camera is a 16MP sensor and it is not only significantly smaller than the 48MP main sensor on the Vivo X50 Pro but also lacks its gimbal stabilization. Sadly, the specs of the other rear cameras are not known but the spec sheet says the selfie camera is an 8MP sensor with support for Face Unlock.

The Little Pepper X50 Pro is powered by the Helio P60 processor and it is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3900mAh battery, and dual SIM support. The spec sheet says it runs Android but doesn’t mention the version.

The device is priced at ¥999 and comes in Blue, Gray, and Cherry Blossom.

After launching Xiaomi Mi 6 look-alike phone, Littler Pepper recently launched its new smartphone last week, dubbed as Little Pepper S11 which is a look-alike of the Apple iPhone X. While the phone is very much similar to the iPhone X, check out the hands-on photos to know how it differs in terms of design.

The phone’s body has the 18:9 ratio but the display of the device itself comes with a traditional aspect ratio of 18:9, featuring a notch at the top of the display. However, instead of having a display with a notch, the phone comes with a top bezel having the notch, giving it a pseudo full-screen appearance.

The Little Peper S11 comes with a 5.5-inch HD display with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. There is also a home button on the front panel, which is not present in the original design of the iPhone X. Further, the phone has also a fingerprint scanner, embedded into the home button for the security purposes.

The notch on the top bezel consists of a proximity sensor, speaker grille, and dual camera sensors. The front-facing camera module features an 8-megapixel sensor and a 5-megapixel sensor. Such dual camera setup is used to take depth of field photos with Bokeh effect.

On the top side, there is a 3.5mm audio jack, allowing users to attach regular earphones/headphones to listen to music. At the bottom, there is a speaker grille on both sides, and there sits a micro USB slot in the center.

Buttons are placed on the right side of the phone. There is a volume rocker key and just below that, there is a power button. There is no difference between both keys other than their size.

On the back panel, there is a dual rear camera, placed in the top-left corner. Both the cameras, featuring a 13-megapixel sensor and an 8-megapixel sensor, are stacked vertically.

There is also an LED flash placed in the center of both camera sensors. At the center of the back panel, there is a Little Pepper branding with the company’s logo placed there.

Coming to the software, the phone runs Alibaba’s Yun OS 5.1.1 which is based on Android Nougat operating system. There is also a facing recognition feature, similar to the Apple‘s Face ID. However, it remains to be seen how much it is similar to Face ID in terms of performance.

Internally, the Little Pepper S11 is powered by a 64-bit MediaTek MT6737 quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz and comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. There is also a microSD card slot, allowing users to expand the storage capacity.

The Little Pepper S11 has been announced in China but the company has not revealed any information regarding the phone’s pricing and availability. The smartphone is expected to be available in two color options — Black and White and will soon go on sale in China.

Little Pepper S11, the iPhone X look-alike smartphone which recently appeared on TENAA certification website, has been officially announced in China.

The phone looks very much similar to the recently launched Apple’s iPhone X. However, instead of having a display with a notch, the phone comes with a top bezel having the notch, giving it a pseudo-full screen appearance. Similar to the iPhone X, the phone has rear camera stacked vertically and positioned on the left side.

The smartphone features a 5.5-inch HD display with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a 64-bit MediaTek MT6737 quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz. It packs 3GB RAM and 32GB on internal storage. There is also a microSD card slot, allowing users to further expand the storage capacity up to 128GB.

As of the camera configuration, the phone comes with a dual rear camera setup at the back, featuring a 13-megapixel and a 13-megapixel camera sensor stacked vertically. On the front side, there is also a dual camera setup with two 5-megapixel camera sensors housed within the notch. With dual cameras, the company enables users to shoot depth of field photos.

The device runs on Alibaba’s Yun OS 5.1.1, which is based on an Android operating system. It seems that there is also a facial recognition feature, similar to the Face ID. Also, there is a fingerprint scanner embedded on the home button. The phone is fuelled by a 2,500mAh battery, which should provide a decent battery life given that the phone features a 720p display.

Little Pepper is well known for copying popular smartphone designs. It recently launched Little Pepper V9, which shares design similar to that of the Xiaomi Mi 6. And to keep the price of its smartphones low, the company uses Mediatek processors.

While the smartphone has been officially announced in China, the company has not yet revealed any information regarding the phone’s pricing and availability. Little Pepper S11, which is expected to be available in two colour options — Black and White, will soon go on sale in China.

The Little Pepper S11 is a phone that cleverly imitates the design of the iPhone X. Rather than have a display with a notch, it is the top bezel with the notch, giving it a pseudo-full screen appearance. The back also imitates the iPhone X’s design as the dual rear cameras are arranged vertically and positioned on the left, though not as close to the edge.

When the Little Pepper S11 was first seen at a Chinese mobile conference last month, its specs were not known. It has now surfaced on TENAA’s database, revealing all its features.

The Little Pepper S11 packs a 5.5” 1280 x 720 display. Powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, the phone will come in three storage variants – 1GB + 16GB, 2GB + 32GB, and 3GB + 64GB. All variants have storage expansion slots, allowing you add up to 128GB of additional storage.

The dual rear cameras are 13MP and 8MP sensors stacked vertically on the left side of the phone. Up in front, it also has 8MP and 5MP dual cameras housed within the notch. The phone’s fingerprint scanner sits below the display

The Little Pepper S11 packs a 2500mAh battery which should last up to a day considering the screen is a 720p display. It is also said to run YunOS 5.1.1.

Little Pepper is a Chinese brand that does know how to get people’s attention by imitating popular designs. One of its phones, the Little Pepper V9, shares a striking resemblance to the Xiaomi Mi 6 but packs less specs. For its new phone, the S11, Little Pepper takes its inspiration from the iPhone X.

The first thing you will notice about the Little Pepper S11 at first look is the notch at the upper part of the display just like that of the iPhone X. However, upon looking closer, you’d realize Little pepper was “smart” about the display. Rather than the screen itself having a notch, it is the upper bezel that has the notch. So this is actually a regular 16:9 display.

The Little Pepper S11 also differs from the iPhone X by having a physical home button/fingerprint scanner below the screen.

The similarities between both phones continue at the back. The S11 packs dual cameras arranged in the same vertical arrangement but these are definitely not the same sensors.

Little Pepper finishes off the design with a shell that looks like glass but which is actually glossy plastic.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Little Pepper is back with a new phone. Called the Little Pepper V9, you won’t be the only one that thinks it looks like the Xiaomi Mi 6.

The Little Pepper V9 shares a design similar to that of the Xiaomi Mi 6. Though we are not surprised to see that the blue curved back, dual rear cameras, and home button are where the similarities end.

The Little Pepper V9 sports a 5.5-inch Full HD display with 2.5D glass, 3GB RAM, and 32GB ROM. Instead of a Snapdragon processor, it is powered by MediaTek’s MT6737CT quad-core processor. There are two 16MP sensors on the rear and a 5MP rear camera for selfies.

Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun said a few days back that the company had no plans for a 399 Yuan smartphone. The news came as a surprise because everyone was waiting for a great phone at that price tag. While Xiaomi probably won’t be making such a cheap phone, China Unicom announced recently that it would take up the challenge to make a great phone under 399 Yuan.

Now, the first images of China Unicom’s 399 Yuan device have been leaked. These images also reveal that the phone will be manufactured by Little Pepper. The Chinese carrier had said that it was partnering up with a manufacturer in Shenzhen for its cheap device. Since Little Pepper has established itself as an affordable smartphone manufacturer, this partnership doesn’t come as a surprise.

To be honest, this 399 Yuan smartphone looks extremely well built for its price. Even in the hardware department, you get decent specs. The phone sports a 5-inch display with HD 720p resolution. Inside, it has a quad-core Marvell PXA 1908 processor clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. You also get an 8MP shooter at the back. Despite is super cheap pricing, the phone will support 4G LTE networks too!

Overall, the 399 Yuan smartphone turns out to be a great offering at this price tag. You get a decent screen, processor and even 4G LTE connectivity, which is at par(or even better than) most entry level offerings in the market. It is said that the phone will be available to purchase directly without any reservations, which is also good since we expect tremendous response for the device.

So, what do you think about this 399 Yuan smartphone from China Unicom? Looks pretty well built, right?
