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.
