            Read everything with my xiaomi m9 ...

              Correction: 3800mAh battery on the mix 3 5G not 3200.

              I've noticed that the new tactic is to misinform people about Chinese products to keep their popularity as low as possible. Can't do like before and just ignore it. Can't do like before and call their world's first products as IP theft copycats. So the safest choice is to get the data wrong and fool the casual browser to believe the product isn't as good as the big brands.

              Reality Check:
              Samsung finally got a ceramic edition of their flagship device. It costs maybe $1599 + tax and just released in 2019. Apple claimed that ceramic would drive up the cost of iPhones so they won't release one. Xiaomi made their first ever ceramic phone in early 2016 with the Mi 5 Pro which only cost about $400. Later that year the bezel-less trend started with the Mi Mix that was a full ceramic device which cost at most $600.
              Since 2016 all of these OEMs have been trying to match that original Xiaomi mi Mix phone and nobody got close so what do they do? Media coverage for the device was barely there until Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6 released half a year later. Then information about the Mi mix was edited so that most sites stated it had a 82-84% screen-to-body ratio instead of the 91.3% real ratio. This was to make it less than or similar to Galaxy S8 which was 84%. But just in case that wasn't enough suddenly you had media coverage against the trend. People claiming that the edge to edge screen made it easy to mispress the phone. Of course they have to not report on how Xiaomi already saw that problem and solved it with palm rejection so you can literally put half your hand on the device's screen without it affecting the one finger you are actually using the phone. Right now the Mi Mix 3 on these sites also has a 84-85% ratio even though it has no bezels at all. S10+ looks almost exactly the same as it but with a slightly thicker chin, sides, forehead and of course the really large notch on the top right corner. S10+ is reported at 88%.

              I'm sorry but this is just sad and what it actually ends up doing is making it really clear that it is due to fear of Xiaomi's innovation and growth.
