            not justifying it or anything. but:
            "The images were used in Xiaomi's official Spanish webpage "
            wonder if it's the chinese hq xiaomi doing or the spanish ad agency? would that be a chinese agency or european agency? because i believe the tone of the article and the comments here would be different if turned out it's the spanish agency doing. because no way an european stealing others work amirite ;)

There's not that much difference between buying a phone from a company that stole from another company or from a man who stole it from another man. Same ethics in not buying stolen stuff.

                    do you ever heard about Sharp Aquos Crystal (series) phones ?!

                    Most of the listed electric things here are OEM products ...
                    if you know, what does it mean ...
                    (just labeled for Xiaomi ... maybe some stolen design included).

                    Thats it.
                    . . . and a lot of phones-specs were copied as well.

                    Lastly the very original Idea (and design!) of Flip Camera from ASUS.

                      Hahaha Lg haters are totally blind and really dont know anything.

                      Yes Lg mobile divison is down & slow( market nowday flooded with cheap phones) but no way Xiaomi to compete with LG electronic home appliances..

Chinese companies steali... morethey really are good in copying products and sell it in a lower price (poor quality), some of our local products here in our country were shutting down because of it. but some survived by lowering their prices too. they somehow don't have originality.

                                        Bent ipad out of the box, "it's not a flaw it's a result of the design" - rather than admitting it's a design flaw.

                                        You know the rest, right?
                                        Crackgate ("It is not a design issue. It has more to do with obese Americans in tight pants"),
                                        Slowgate (IOS 4 on first gen. iphone)
                                        Antennagate ("you're holding it wrong"),
                                        Yellowgate (iphone 4s)
                                        Scratch gate and purple haze (iphone 5)
                                        Bendgate iphone (iphone 6 plus)
                                        Touch disease
                                        Apple maps

                                        And all of this despite the very small amount of products they make and the premium price they come with. It seems child labor isn't the only place apple saves money, beta testing also clearly has a very limited budget.

                                        I'd like to add another, iphone 3G and 3GS were smartphones, but didn't even have front facing cameras. When it came on later iphones, it only workd with facetime, and nothing else for far too long. So you were dependent on the other party have an iphone as well, crazy stupid.

                                        Iphone can still not work directly with a computer without itunes. Using it's hardware like NFC is still 100% locked so no file transfers, not that there even a file manager to begin with. Even calling iphones for smartphones seems like an insult to the word smartphone. Even feature-phones have more features.

                                        At some point I just stopped even paying attention to new iphones because they were so bad and zero innovation. Then came Xiaomi Mi Mix and changed the game, and sure enough, Apple had their own bezel-less the year after, even after the second gen Mi Mix had arrived. Only problem was, and still is, that apple's bezel-less device has huge bezels and the most important part of the bezel-less device, the top, had the biggest notch in it making it so that it in no way felt like it was free from bezels at all.
