It doesn't even look that good, someone in xioami must have been high when they photoshopped this ..

    Marco M, 20 Jun 2019Straight out of apple's catalog? Where is apple's equiva... moreApple might have few items in their bag but all of those are of high quality. (enough of mugging our pockets crap, please)
    and while xiaomi is filling up their suitcase with those cheapos. and who knows, maybe all of em are some cheap copies.

      So funny that the ad is in spanish as we say here they "took/did a spanish one" (very directly translated), when doing something that isn't 100% allowed or correct to do by the rules :D

        xeo, 20 Jun 2019Yeah those commercial are so lame. They should be ashamed o... moreDifferent type of notch and it is Redmi making the puns, not Xiaomi. Please take note that they are now running their own company with their own marketing department.

          xeo, 20 Jun 2019Nothing new here. I don't know why people give them the tit... moreStraight out of apple's catalog?

          Where is apple's equivalent of the Blackshark or Mi Max series? Who came first, Mi Mix-line of phones or iphone x? Apple is still stuck on the bus stop sized screen notch.

          Where is apple's Roborock vaccumer, Electric scooter, Laser projector, TVs, Air purifier, home security cameras, action cameras, car DVRs, smart NFC/Fingerprint/keypad doorlocks, sensor based soap dispensers, smart rice cookers, AI camera doorbells etc. etc.

          Xiaomi may have started making products similar to apple's, but have since made their own style over the years.

          Apple Home and HomeKit came after Xiaomi and has less features and support.

          Xiaomi has so much more in their catalog than apple, which doesn't really have a catalog, but a tiny pamphlet.

            copycat pirates then, only a thief justifies a robbery.

              Kriegsherr, 20 Jun 2019Matters. Cause a thief is a thief. Chinese companies steali... more I was joking. I agree with you actually.

                You know, screw LG. Let's forget their wondrous past and throw dirt at them now. Xiaomi, take LG's commission like it's nothing because LG is nothing now. They don't have money to sue you.

                    Nothing new here. I don't know why people give them the title "Apple of China". Most of their product come straight from Apple catalog haha. Make something original.

                      In other news "Xiaomi makes fun of notches in new series of promo videos" yet somehow forgets to make fun of themselves...

                        ZloiYuri, 20 Jun 2019There is nothing to steal from LG, just parts of promo :D I... moreFamous or not, stealing is stealing, and it's a severe crime that has a heavy punishment from the law if caught done so.
                        Imagine you're a great beat maker, then Justin Bieber suddenly stole one of your works without your permission or credits, and you called the attention of everybody about it, but nobody cares about you since you're not popular anyway.

                          When a Chinese person does it then it's stealing and theft, and his employer, or the whole country gets blamed for it -- they planned it together and everyone was in on it.

                          When someone from the West does it, then it's "inspiration", and "remix", and if there should be any blame then it's only on the individual.

                                LG is dead company. Why not steal from them?

Chinese companies stealing and copying since long but they have never been questioned. Looks like Chinese government has passive support for this. Maybe this is the way they plan on moving their economy forward. Let someone invent, copy it, sell the copycat stuff with low prices and billions will buy cause who will buy almost same thing for double the price? Unless you really care about IP and have enough money, Chinese phones are a very good deal.

                                      Also, if you think that's not a stealing, you also have a serious problem with the concept of copyrights...like many Chinese companies :D
