This Android phone looks just like the iPhone X, but costs less than a quarter of the price by Avery Hartmans on Feb 5, 2018, 10:13 AM Advertisement
 - Chinese smartphone maker Oukitel is selling an iPhone X clone called the Oukitel U18.
- The phone has the same design on the front, facial recognition technology it calls Face ID, and even has its own notch.
- But the phone costs $160 compared to over $1,000 for an iPhone X.
Chinese smartphone maker Oukitel just launched a brand-new smartphone that looks almost identical to the new iPhone X, but costs less than a quarter of the price of Apple's premium phone.
Called the Oukitel U18, the phone looks almost exactly like the iPhone X from the front, but costs just $160. Meanwhile, the iPhone X starts at $1,000. The U18 features a nearly edge-to-edge display, a technology called Face ID (the same name as Apple's facial recognition system), and even has the same notch at the top of the screen to fit the camera and facial-recognition hardware. In fact, the two phones look so similar, you can really only tell them apart when they're side by side: 
The U18 is a bit bigger, has a wider bottom bezel, and has all its buttons on the right side of the device. Otherwise, the two devices are practically twins. The similarities end when you flip the U18 over, though. The phone features a vertically oriented camera, but it's situated in the center of the device rather than the left side, like on the iPhone X. The U18 also has a fingerprint scanner, which Apple did away with on the iPhone X. Plus, the U18 runs Android and has USB-C charging. The device comes in two colors: black and gold. Here's a look at the phone from the back: 
The Oukitel U18 will cost $160 until February 7, then it will go for $180. But if you want to get your hands on one, you'll have to act fast: Oukitel says on its website that, ironically enough, it will only offer 999 of the devices.
