With the
delay in releasing the
WCDMA Xiaomi Mi3,
Chinese knock-off makers have already started to
launch their own low-cost
clones of the latest Xiaomi
phone.
The ‘Live Me X18’ is actually the second Xiaomi
Mi3 clone we have seen (3rd if you include the
THL T100S) behind the N0.1 M3
phone which was announced last month. Unlike other
Mi3 wannabe’s the X18 has it’s sites firmly
locked on budget
phone buyers with a lower specification and
entry-level price tag of just $150.
Measuring in at 144.2 x 73.6 x 8.4 mm the X18 has a 5-inch qHD display, 1.3Ghz quad-core MT6582 processor, 512mb RAM, 2 mega-pixel front camera, 8 mega-pixel rear, 2000mAh battery and dual-SIM support.
The
clone is so true to the original though that the first variant of the ‘Love Me X18’ will only be compatible with China Mobile’s
TD-SCDMA 3G network!
The X18 will go on sale before the end of the year for 899 Yuan.
