        By your logic, every manufacturer copies (that's true BTW) because phones are rounded rectangle in shape

          But that one phone was a complete copy of something developed in 2014 from Sharp.
          You see, Samsung, LG, Apple, and others made a different way of doing bezel less instead of being something like from Sharp.
          They lacked enough R&D so they copied instead of making their own.

          They may win the best value for money, but the respect for trusted, branded, and reliable big brands would remain. Apple is the only thing that I'd consider to be overpriced, but their products sure are miles ahead of Xiaomi's.

                I don't believe in story that plus is now note series. Note series has been hit series for Xiaomi and on the contrary plus series has been the not so popular. Moreover if xiaomi have to replicate redmi note 4 success, it would have to launch something new, not merely changing costume of redmi note 4.

                Media should use some brain instead of blindly trusting some moderator words.

                  AnonD-704941, 31 Dec 2017They have a way smaller team compared to big brands. Also, ... moreTrue, they dont need Research and Development since they simply copy what others develop. And not only they promote only trough social media, but Xiaomi did had security breaches aswell. And finally after doing some research - their workers work from 09:30 in the morning to 09:30 at night AT LEAST. They barley get sleep, and they are also horribly underpaid.
                  I personally would not buy, simply because I do not support modern slavery, or theft of other’s ideas!

Also, ... moreAlso, they hardly have any after sales support so they save a lot of capital on infra and salary to employees. You buy these phone with only one thing in mind, use while they last, whether under warranty or not.

                          paintbuckets, 31 Dec 2017Doesn't feel like a worthy successor to RN4. Agreed, if they put sd630 in there instead of sd625, it will worth even some extra cash
                          Since sd625 already showing it age

                            The more I see white phone, the more they imply cheapness. I simply cannot like this unless it comes in black.

                              So it's a xiaomi note 4 with less battery life (huge screen) and better cam?
                              No thx

                                Rear camera is going to be very good. It seems Mi Max 2, Mi A1 and Redmi 5 Plus all have same sensors of 12MP resolution and f/2.2 aperture. I am the first to notice this.
