Chinese companies already famous for their copycat activities and here they have even copied the advertisement banner used by Apple for iPhone 6. Even though Lenovo claims that there is only some external similarities between Sisley S90 and iPhone 6, some intentional replications are there for sure. The same metallic body design, which is considered as the highlight of iPhone 6 is flawlessly adopted in the Lenovo device as well. Let’s see Lenovo has configured the device to make it good opponent for the Apple flagship model.
