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.

And you can't say "Well they're both cell phones" and foolishly try to compare the first ever cell phone and a modern smartphone as if they're copies. It's like saying "Well the first car is a copy of the horse and cart used by the Romans".

I have no trouble auditing AOSP and running that audited ROM in my device, but would love to do the same on Apple hardware.

              Lastly, if your threat model requires you to defend against attacks of state-sponsored actors, you are delusional if you believe any mass-produced consumer good (especially ones which rely on cloud servers in the US to do tightly coupled OS services, such as remote erase and find my phone) will be up-to snuff. Yeah, until you provide me with the source code I am bound not to trust that toggle will work against state-sponsored actors.

              Worry about blackhats and greedy big-data alike overreach, there you can do something about it.

                stop bashing other products if you have never used'em . we'll judge if the likes of xiaomi products are made with cheap materials or not .

                i'm not a fanboy but i'll never tolerate those ignorant people bashing other brands without any logical excuse .
                [note- i have owned lg g6, pixel 2, iphone 6s and x, samsung s7 edge, s9+, oneplus 5, htc 8, huawei mate 10 pro, xiaomi mi 6 and 8 ! ]

                      Copmared to apple Xiaomi is Outstanding.
                      Where apple is just dirt on the road.

                          The surveillance only gets fed what you feed it. Apple feeds it nothing and remain encrypted. Google feeds it ALL of your data, and uses that data themselves as well. And added to that, Xiaomi is not a part of US surveillance. Why they stole user data or has a backdoor is a mystery.

                              Oppaii, 16 Sep 2018Jesus christ! Xiaomi should stop this already!Why the chinese market is competitive and tech moves so fast..
                              So for all these muppets complaining about it not being as good
                              Quatily.. 4 items for the price of 1 phone.. i mean tech moves so far the iphone x is now obsolete.. so chance are you buy this bundle update the phone next year get a cheap one and chances are if it hadnt already.. will have 90% of the features of the iphone.. i feel like you one of these people who brought a 4k tv when it first came out.. the 2-3 years later a cheaper and better version came out.. now you may say well it would.. but when you payed that stupidly high price for your 4k tv.. there was nothink to watch in 4k... on it.. i mean there still is a lack of quatily.. do you beilieve that liquid retina is real too.. its a sales mans term like amoled its the same as oled or p-oled.. which means it uses plastic instead of glass... why do people look into stuff.. chances are the XR.. will sell well because 90% of apple user dont understand what ppi is or know what display resolution is..

                                AnonD-731363, 16 Sep 2018Man then apple is what??m, Its also made in china so its ch... moreYou've never heard off Chinese knock-offs before? China is famous for them. Xiaomi is just another Chinese knock-off brand.

                                Apple also didn't copy Motorola in either design nor implementation.

                                  And that margin needs to pay for wages, R&D, manufacturing, transports, advertisements, store upkeep, software support (iOS for 5+ years, Siri, Apple Maps, iCloud, etc), warranties, etc.

                                      Bashing aside, these pretty generous bundle though, a phone and a decent laptop (not just crappy AMD A or intel Pentium) to go with plus extras
