There’s been some differing opinions on whether to love or hate that black camera visor on the back of the Huawei Nexus 6P. Chinese manufacture ZTE seems to be of the crowd that dislikes it, and for what might be a good reason, too. ZTE marketing director Lu Qian Hao took to Chinese social media website Weibo, saying that the Huawei Nexus 6P takes some design hints from the ZTE Athena, otherwise known as the Grand S.
Looking at the two devices (ZTE Grand S pictured below), you can definitely see that Huawei might’ve taken some design hints from the device. And while we don’t support copying someone else’s work, there’s really only so much you can do with a rectangular device to make it unique. After all, just look at the flip phone market. Almost everything is identical in some way.
Then again, ZTE might be right. Huawei has a history of taking design hints from other popular devices in the market, such as the Mate S and the HTC One or iPhone 6S.

Keep in mind that there’s always been a feud between ZTE and Huawei. After all, they’re both heavy competitors as far as smartphones and other fields go. The ZTE Grand S was an impressive phone two years ago, and still isn’t a bad device, but probably isn’t worth a big fight.
