Huawei Mate S vs. iPhone 6s: Which one is the copycat?
Huawei has taken a jab at Apple's newly unveiled iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus by revealing its own rose gold–colored smartphone in the form of the new Mate S.
It is interesting to note that both the Huawei Mate S and Apple iPhone 6s have the Force Touch feature incorporated in their own flagship phones. Apple has recently revealed that its new iPhones will have four color variants including rose gold — a color that Huawei allegedly adopted for its new Mate S smartphone, according to the International Business Times.
While rose gold was previously specific to the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, Huawei has mocked this by launching the Huawei Mate S in different colors including rose gold. In contrast to Apple's design that only has the said color in an undertone, Huawei boasted that its Mate S comes in that color tone "from head to toe," the report relays.
