If you love the design of the iPhone 7 but you prefer Android to iOS, consider the new OnePlus 5.

It looks almost identical to Apple's iPhone 7 Plus from the outside, even though it's running a slightly modified version of Android on the inside.

If you're not familiar with OnePlus, the Chinese phone maker has been offering premium Android phones that are much more affordable than the most popular flagships from Apple and Samsung for the past several years.

The newest OnePlus phone continues this tradition, but the biggest takeaway is how similar it looks and feels to Apple's top-of-the-line iPhone.

Take a look and you'll see what I mean.

And here is the iPhone 7 Plus, also in matte black.

Notice how both phones have identical antenna lines, even shaped around the top and bottom of the shell in the same way.



The similarities are even more clear when you put the two phones side by side.

In addition to the identical antenna lines, note the identical dual-lens cameras, microphone hole, and flash cutout. There are other similarities too, like the placement of the physical buttons on the side of the phone and the location of the logo.
