That's not the iPhone X, it's the Motorola One Power.

Looks like Lenovo hopped on the bandwagon of releasing iPhone X lookalikes.

The company announced the Motorola One and Motorola One Power on Friday at IFA 2018. The two phones feature a notched display with a 19:9 aspect ratio. They're also both Android One phones, which means they'll run a stock version of Android and be among the first phones to get Android Pie soon after they release.

Even though the phones come with the latest version of Android and "premium" (but played-out) iPhone X design, they do so at a midrange budget. The Motorola One retails at 299 euros (about $345, £270, AU$485). Pricing for the Motorola One Power has yet to be announced.
