Is Honor Magic design inspired by this Nokia device?

Well, we are really liking what Huawei has attempted to bring to plate with the new features Honor Magic, including stuff like the advanced UI, 4 curved sides, new ways to interact with the fingerprint sensor, etc. but well, when we spot a design similarity, how could we not share it with you.

Here’s a Nokia X7-00 handset on the left in the pic above — released back in 2011 !! — and the very Honor Magic on the right side. You will notice that the speaker grill design is prominently featured on the Nokia device, and looks so similar on the Honor Magic too, which sells for price of 3699 yuan.

Of course, Nokia X7-00 didn’t have any of the magic-al features the Honor Magic boasts of, but the similarity is not confined to the grill only, even the shape of the device, narrowing down and top and bottom, are strikingly similar to Nokia’s offering from the days when Android was beginning to take over the world. Has our little droid taken over the world, BTW?

Check out the Honor Magic specs here, and loads of real-world images of the device here.
