Finally, an iPhone X that runs Android

 By Vaibhav Jain on November 23, 2017       

Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Little Pepper is back with a new phone clone. The Little Pepper S11 shares a design similar to that of the iPhone X. We are not surprised to see the iPhone X notch, vertically arranged dual rear cameras, and glass looking glossy plastic.

However, the device do comes with a fingerprint sensor/home button below the screen. Also the top-notch is placed on the upper bezel, not on the display. The Little Pepper S11 comes with a regular 16:9 screen-to-body ratio.

The Little Pepper S11 runs Android Nougat with YunOS Skin on the top. There's no information regarding the Specifications, Release date, and features of the Little Pepper S11.

Little Pepper is well known for copying popular designs. One of its creation Little Pepper V9 shares exactly similar design to that of the Xiaomi Mi 6. The Company usually implements Mediatek processor to keep the cost low.

Other key strengths in still image mode include very good exposures and HDR images, accurate color rendering, good detail with low noise, as well as a natural-looking bokeh effect in Portrait mode.

For video, the X doesn’t quite rise to the same high-water mark, achieving a video sub-score of 89 points. With its key strengths good exposure with fast convergence during lighting changes, accurate color rendering as well as fast and accurate autofocus and effective video stabilization, the X’s scores are almost identical to the iPhone 8 Plus’s.
