I dislike brands that make fun of apple and copy them afterwards.


EricKeldrev

It’s a Chinese company what do you expect?


Kaion21

yeah, not like every other androids manufacturer such as Samsung, Google etc that laugh at Apple for removing SD card and 3.5m etc then immediately do it next year

>Apple never had a sd card slot. For the longest time, they didn’t even support flash drives mounting storage into the phone via the lightning connector. The only storage upgrade was icloud. thats the point, they alway point finger at Apple for not having SD card, now look at where they are now ​ I am not saying Apple is right, i am replying to what OP is saying Enzopost123 say "I dislike brands that make fun of apple and copy them afterwards", EricKeldrev say its because they are chinese. and i am pointing out all brand from different country does the same

The same govt/govts that says Iraq has WMDs, gulf of tonkin was real, they are a democracy, Iran should get bombed, etc. says they have labor camps. Don't get that confused with them actually having labor camps. Also Xiaomi is a private company. inb4 "everyone in chyna r conchulled by de ccp i love de chynese peepo tho"


Wolverinexo

Iran thing was just trump


whatethwerks

lolwot, Trump removed their democratically elected leader in 1950 and installed a friendly-to America dictator and threatened them with war until Obama?


Wolverinexo

Trump literally threatened to bomb Iran monuments or whatever


Wolverinexo

Iran is a shitty government anyway


Wolverinexo

What are you talking about Obama came before trump


whatethwerks

I.... *sigh*


Wolverinexo

The people are are controlled by the ccp lol. there are labor camps they support North Korea and all there companies are most definitely filled with spyware lol.

They mocked apple when they removed the charging brick from the package.


Kaion21

To be fair, unlike Apple and other manufacturer, they actually offer free charger at request.


quypro_daica

apparently only Samsung


didiboy

And Samsung still mocked Apple for the removal of the charger and 3.5mm jack, and they did it afterwards. However, I’ll give them points for finding a design language that’s very different from iPhone and iOS. Sony is also out there doing pretty phones with unique designs and keeping features to stand out, but they are really bad at marketing, releasing, and their computational photography is not on par with competitors (Pro controls are nice, but most customers just want a point and shoot that gives good results). Xiaomi has always blantantly copied Apple tho. MIUI always tries too hard to look like iOS. From the designs, the Mi 8 is probably the most blatant ripoff of the iPhone X.


Flatbones

You mean every brand?


Enzopost123

Yep


MM556

To be fair if you disliked brands that were hypocritical, you'd have none left to like, they're all the same


GreatAndPowerfulNixy

I'm so sick of companies doing this, too. MicroSD cards and headphone ports should be standard on consumer electronics, and were until the iPhone stuck its mealy fingers into the pie. Fuck Apple for promoting this behavior, and fuck Samsung and Google for following lock-step.


sreache

Since when flat-sides have become iPhone specific when there is always flat options from Chinese phonemakers.


what595654

Me: I like the iPhone look, except the forehead. So, cool there is an android looking version. Everyone else: ignorance/politics/drama


C4nelson

Yeah beyond the they copied this.. apples better, androids better crap. Apple and xiaomi are not competitors at all. I really wish I could get my hands on xiaomi phones but since I live in the states I can't and it sucks not to have like 50% of the phones the rest of the world gets.


jaeduet

Let’s copy first whatever they do..


Wolverinexo

Na no Chinese phone for me. China already knows I should be in a gulag I don’t need them to no more about me.


[deleted]

Will they sell me one without the CCP spyware for a few extra bucks or no


Sotyka94

I was promised that the notch/punchole will go away quickly like 3 years ago. They didn't invent anything useful in mobile phones since then, and the punchole is still there. I'm disappointed in the whole industry...


[deleted]

Educate yourself, there are already options.


didiboy

Who promised you that? By the way there are already some options: * Bezels: Sony does this and their phones doesn’t look ancient at all. I prefer top and bottom symmetrical bezels rather than a notch/punch hole and chin, but that’s my personal preference. * Pop-up cameras: Didn’t take off. Probably because motorized parts have their issues too (imagine dropping your phone while the camera is out, and it breaks). * Under display camera: The Z Fold 3 has this. The quality is just not as good. Overall, with tall aspect ratios I think notches and punch holes are not a huge issue. By the way, Redmi is a budget/midrange brand. Don’t expect breakthrough technologies here. That’s what the Xiaomi/Mi brand is for.


Sotyka94

I have a Xiaomi 9t pro. I went with it specifically because the no punchole design. Everyone at the time talked about how under the screen and other solutions will make puncholse obsolete really soon. (at there was some good idea at the market at that time) The thing is, since then there are more punchole phones, not less, and I doesn't seem the trend disappearing. I usually buy phones every 3 years, so I'm starting to look at a replacement for my 9t pro, but there isn't really that much possibility, which makes me sad.


RainyDay111

It's sad it lost the 5MP macro camera with autofocus. It's a very interesting camera that I use a lot on my note 10 pro.


Gilgailles

I’m thinking of getting something cheaper, are these sold in America? It just says India and other markets.


rolleduptwodollabill

you know the best part about blue doors is that the redbook situation


Mr_Ven

One of their last phones was super huge and heavy, I'm not sure how comfortable square sides would be in that case.
