The thing about Apple iPhone X which attracts the user most is not its hardware and Design, but the gesture-based navigation system which is quite simple to use. This new feature had already eliminated the need of Home button from iPhone. The gesture which Apple prefers in iPhone X is something new and following this many other brands have started to develop their own.
Last we checked Oneplus also added this gesture navigation in their phone. Apart from this Motorola and Huawei have their takes using the fingerprint scanner on the front of the device.
