The camera is going to be bad if you compare to any big name phone. Do note that it packs only a 2,500 mAh battery, but today I took it out and about and used it for a nine-hour day and still came home with 30% battery. The software here is Android 7.0 and it's the vanilla version that's usually found on budget phones. There's no bloatware whatsoever. If you care about benchmarks, the iLA X scored a 1521 on multi-core and 532 on single-core on Geekbench 4. Getting on Instagram, Facebook and Gmail was a flawless experience, and I was even able to run some basic games like Sonic Forces and Streets of Rage on it. I took the phone for a test run today and it's not terrible if you factor in its dirt-cheap price. There is no official pricing on this phone (it's still at least a month before it'll go on sale) but seeing the specs - MediaTek's MTK6737 mid-tier processor with just 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage and a 720p resolution - I'm sure the iLA X will be priced under $140. This is more honest than some other small Chinese brands which advertise dual-cameras but actually has the same fake set-up. The bottom of the phone has a rather large chin and clickable home button/fingerprint reader and the second camera on the back is fake - meaning the iLA X is just a mono shooter with a decorative second lens to complete the iPhone X illusion.īut credit must be given to iLA, who admitted to me openly the second lens is mere decoration, and that the company will not advertise the phone as having dual-cameras. The phone actually has a clear top bezel that runs entirely across the device above the 5.5-inch display. That notch I mentioned earlier? It's a facade. While some clones I've tested before, such as the Xiaomi Mi Mix-aping Maze Alpha, actually closely replicates the original's hardware functionality, the iLA X just looks like an iPhone X for the sake of looking like one. In hand, the phone feels surprisingly light and sleek, with an overall in-hand feel that surpasses its budget roots.īut examine a bit more, and the iLA X is one of the more blatantly shameless copycat phones I've seen yet.
