Who cares.
The companies who are/could/maybe be involved. It could be IP(intellectual property) issues.

**I don't see how they can claim this though. Fingerprint read, different areas for flash as well.

It is pretty obvious that the back of the phones are very identical looking.

Except they aren't. Zte doesn't have the fingerprint reader.

I don't believe that ZTE was talking about a fingerprint reader. They are talking about the camera area. Take away the fingerprint reader and replace it with the ZTE emblem and it looks just like the ZTE...which looks like the Droid X.

Agh I didn't read it. Just the whole iPhone frivolous suits about a stupid curve.

To me, the back of the ZTE looks similar to the back of the Huawei just the same as almost ever other phone's back looks like another phone's back. But even when you're talking about the camera hump, the ZTE's is offset to the side, the flash's location is not the same, they are different in size. It is frivolous.

This is very much like the whole Apple vs Samsung debacle. Apple cries about Samsung copying their original iPhone when indeed Samsung had a suspiciously similar product available before the available iPhone. They look alike, but different all at the same time.

Looks a lot like my RMaxx if I remember right.

I've seen way more blatant iPhone ripoffs than the nexus being a ripoff of this phone :shrug:

How ironic a Chinese company blaming other Chinese company with plagiarism.

They are both in the same city as well.
