Xiaomi puts up the XR, XS and XS Max for sale, and those aren't just phones

15 September 2018
In a jab at Apple, Xiaomi is offering three bundles at the prices of the latest iPhones, and each consists of a phone, laptop, and accessories.

Sort by:

Lol at people dissing xiaomi when they've never even picked up a xiaomi phone in their lives. But a bigger lol that we the smart consumers are paying a fifth of what they are for essentially the same experience. Stay unwise, apple fanboys.

    Xiaopmi it's not cheap, it's great product at low price.

      kiasunkiasi, 17 Sep 2018start coming out from your cave already... https://www.gsm... moreThe first article doesn't mention the part of the Digitimes-report that states that the Taiwan-based manufacturers remain key suppliers, due to their ability to meet the volumes required by Apple. In other words, Apple are diversifying their production lines to ensure supplies can keep up with demands.

      The second article states the US holds 56600 technology patents while China is at 48900. Your source showed you and that other guy were wrong. Great job.

      And being a pioneer is about more than developing one piece of technology. Apple is currently pioneering the wireless future with everythong from their W1-chip and Bluetooth earbuds, their wireless charging they're adding to more and more products, their AirDrop implementation, the upcoming AirPower mat, etc. Companies like Xiaomi have difficulties blatantly copying that though, so they stick with stealing the Apple designs and names.

      And what's that childish comment about a cave? If I was sitting in a cave, I'd probably have nothing better to do with my time than obsessing over cheap Chinese knock-off brands like Xiaomi. I'd be like you.

        Xiaomi trying to get some publicity by trying to mess with Apple. That's it.

        So you can buy one really good phone for high price (iPhone), or bundle of things that are... well... cheap, and probably laggy, have questionable software support, have no "wow factor" and isn't as easy or convenient to use (you won't carry around a laptop with you) and that you might not even need (you already have a perfectly working laptop maybe). So you get what you pay for in any case.

          FinnishInquisition, 16 Sep 2018Apple is a trillion dollar company pioneering technology. X... moreI agree. And not to mention spyware accusations...

              what are the major pioneering that iPhone did recently?

              that fugly notch? come on, take a look at Mi Mix series
              dual SIM? yawn, Apple so many years to "pioneer" and "invent" the dual SIM
              more colour? oh wow, blow my mind

                  We should call it as idiot proof rather than water proof

                      Livius, 16 Sep 2018First of all in the US it's because of your tard of a Presi... moreHe probably dont know that Xiaomi even have it's own shops in several center European countries. Like Italy and France. 2 that i remember.
                      Xiaomi was a main sponsor for BMX/SKATE contest known as the biggest contest of world in these extreme sports a Simple Session Summer Session as a smaller version of Simple Session that is in the start of the year winter.
                      People start t otrust it cause it's next level Huawei that they already know.
                      Even my top carrier is official importer in estonia.
                      The thing is that there are lots of small countries in Europe that dont produce nothing so everything cost a lot and especially food and how much tax you need to pay for every month for your apartment and for your country what you get from work per month. And salary is low too so you cant really save up for even a trip for vacation, so these under 200 euro phone sell well.

                      But well we have these dumb people too who are "new rich" so they buy these trend things and nice cars and everything

                        pl2rts, 16 Sep 2018Sorry but what this got to do with phones ? I have no clue... morewhat the article is talking about is that the Iphone is way to expensive and for the price of whatever Iphone Xiaomi is offering a phone, a laptop, a MI band and a pair of Bluetooth headphones. they're not make a comparison o the capacity whatsoever, just the price.

                          FinnishInquisition, 16 Sep 2018Ever wonder why they can't expand their product lines acros... moreFirst of all in the US it's because of your tard of a President and because Apple was going down badly in sales because of all chinese phones . Second of all don't give this BS with being spied because every phone in this world does it so this is another BS and third of all, low quality ? What are you talking about ? I have been using some of their products and the quality is very good . I am now using the Xiaomi Mi 8 besides my S9+ and the quality is the same, no difference at all. Chinese phones are selling much better in Europe than you could ever imagine. Apple prices are stupid and not justified that's the thing and when Apple fans see a product cheaper than iPhone they start bashing. I hate this so much.

                                Phone was invented by Italian Antonio Meucci 1849
                                And ever since there have been more then one company that made phones.
                                Motorola was the first to make wireless mobile phone.

                                Just to fix some of it so people wont pick on it :D

                                    FinnishInquisition, 16 Sep 2018First of all, Samsung didn't invent waterproofing and Sony ... moreMan Sony maybe did not invented 4K recording but Z5 premium was very furst phone to do so. Dunno what you want to say here but dont try to fool me.
                                    Man It wasnt apple but Sharp Aquos and Essential who make first phone with Notch. Dont try to fool me again. Apple just copied this tech and upgraded it and presented as its own.
                                    Same for jack. Phone without jack was here long before Iphone 7 it have nothing to do with apple. Face ID was Samsuung invention. They made Face ID working before Apple.
                                    Same for Voice assistant. Even my old lenovo Vibeshot supported Volte which is phone from summer of 2015.

                                    Apple aren't always the first to invent a certain technology, but they are seemingly nearly always the ones to perfect and popularise it. This is maybe correct but its like stealing and adding new tricks and presenting it as its own. But apart from that only own which apple have its their Chip and OS but thats it. Even OS has been made for other brand which failed back in 1996 and apple took it make rework and presented it as its own.

                                    It used to be that Nokia, Motorola and HTC were great technological pioneers in the mobile industry, but they have all since collapsed for various reasons.
                                    Motorola is still outstanding company and their motomods are really unique.
                                    Nokia since Microsoft gave off hands for gods sake is great as it ever was.
                                    And HTC from M8 failing down and their era is close to an end.

                                    And as a side note, the iPhones have a 50-60 % profit margin. Same as the Samsung devices. And that's even though Samsung devices are cheaper to manufacture, and Samsung doesn't need a massive team of engineers for Google-competing services and software.
                                    And about this Apple profit is nearly 400% selling price to manufacturing price.
                                    Samsung is almost same. S9+ cost 379 dollars to make same price as apple X but sells for 300 less.
                                    By the way samsung team is much larger than apple have .
                                    All apple plans and decisions comes from USA but all their phones 100% of their phones is made by Foxconn in china due to low labourers costs .
                                    Foxconn is world largest phone manufacturer making about 40% of total phone production in whole world. Only factory in Zhengzhou in China give work to 6 milions of people.
