Chinese brand Letv has introduced an affordable smartphone called the S1 Pro, a device that mirrors the design language of Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro. The information first surfaced through Gizmochina. Earlier, the same company released a model that resembled Apple’s premium lineup in another form.
The Letv S1 Pro adopts the iPhone 14 Pro’s front camera notch, the distinctive camera module layout, and the overall silhouette, yet it runs on Android and remains unmistakably a Letv handset. Large bezels frame the display, and the device likely lacks a Dynamic Island style feature, making some premium-touch cues feel more cosmetic than functional.
Performance duties are handled by the Huben T7510 chip, also referred to as the Unisoc Tiger T751. Sources suggest this chipset delivers power comparable to mid-range offerings in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7-series. At present, detailed specifications have not been fully disclosed by the maker.
The manufacturer has indicated that the S1 Pro will sail well under 1,000 yuan, which translates to a price below 10,000 rubles in today’s exchange context. An exact unveiling date has not been confirmed, but anticipation continues as users await official word and hands-on impressions.
Earlier reporting from socialbites.ca noted that a different flagship, the OnePlus 11, was unveiled in the Chinese market, reflecting a broader trend of premium-branded devices entering China with high aspirations and notable design parallels to established global releases.
Industry observers in Canada and the United States will watch closely whether Letv’s approach resonates with value-seeking buyers who want a familiar design language at a more accessible price point. The S1 Pro’s blend of familiar aesthetics and Android functionality could appeal to users who prioritize screen aesthetics and a recognizable form factor while remaining mindful of the price-to-performance balance. The device’s overall appeal will hinge on how well the brand delivers software optimization, camera performance, and battery life in real-world use, areas that often determine long-term user satisfaction. Whether Letv can sustain momentum against established competitors in North America remains an open question, but the move clearly signals the brand’s intent to expand beyond its home market.
