Hey guys, opinions on this? I personally think the phone looks sick so I'm not really worried about the components actually looking like that or not. Anyways would love to hear your thoughts!

David Imel I think Android manufacturers really need to rise to the occasion with their own designs. The only reason Xiaomi can get away with such blatant rip-off is because it doesn't compete directly with Apple and Apple couldn't care about suing them. Like Jonathan Ive once said in an interview, it's not flattering to Apple or its designers when this happens. This is time they could have spent with their families and friends, or simply doing anything else, but instead they were working on it, however good or bad some of us find the design to be. As a creative individual yourself, I'm a bit surprised you're expressing such little to none concern about it, simply because it's a better bang for buck. Imagine someone totally rips your style and your script and does a similar review. Even if they get half the attention and following you have (analogy to the price), how would you feel having worked hard to create your content? Think about it the next time you make a review. Also, as an individual you're most definitely entitled to your opinion, but here you're representing a firm and its community and as that representative at least, you should have called them off on this one.

Back in the day when I had a 6110 and 8210 etc. Nokia's, I used to get transparent covers for them. Such a cool look. It's too bad it's pretty impossible to do nowadays, but this is a nice feature for sure :)

I really care about the design. At least get rid of that stupid notch, it takes up 2/3 of the space of that top line; it is ok for IOS but not for Android because notification icons lives there. If the notch wasn't there (YES JUST MAKE IT A THIN BEZEL INSTEAD), I guess I can live with that camera placement and their software, given the compelling price tag.

Companies copying other companies isn't something I'm a huge fan of, but in this scenario, there are a couple of things to consider: 1) Xiaomi has been copying apple in the past In a lot of other aspects (like UI for instance) and some people from xiaomi have stated that they are sometimes inspired by them 2) The design isn't a shabby rip off, it's a copy of the X's design with a few enhancements (the way the screen curves around the edges and notch looks way better on the mi 8 than on the iPhone x) 3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, Xiaomi isn't a company that thrives by only ripping off other companies. Let's not forget that they have impacted the industry as much as any other brand, and they do have incredible designs that are completely original (mi mix series, anyone?) 4) Xiaomi did something that apple never could, until now at least, which is an in display fingerprint scanner. All that for half the price 5) Apple isn't exactly lining up to be crowned as the best company with original designs, as they have done a bit of copying too in the past (tho not to this extent) End of the day it doesn't matter for me :D

1. Iphone x display is better in my opinion cause they have no chin 2. Apple is choose face id not touch id for their future, so they r&d dont bother researching into that tech 3. FYI, xiaomi not design the tech they uses Synaptics on screen fingerprint tech, so its gonna be used by other brand too
@princeofpersiarulz
@princeofpersiarulz 6 жыл бұрын
Hermawan Surjadi 1) only the chin looks smaller but the quality of displays will more or less be the same since they are both using amoled panels made by Samsung. 2) Fingerprint is A LOT more secure than a face. The tech in face ID might be more complex, but using a finger print as security is way better since it is much harder to replicate than a face. Plus, at almost 1/3rd the price, Apple offers only face ID whereas xiaomi offers a face ID that's more secure (since it scans using more dots than the iPhone), plus they also give the option of fingerprint scanning with the most advanced scanner yet (which only a handful of phones have right now). So, Apple was just lazy and to concerned about profits, and didn't care about what customers actually want. 3) if it's going to be used by other brands, why hasn't Apple done it yet? If they can charge almost 1000 dollars for a phone, they could have invested in fingerprint scanner, especially since you said "other brands can do it too"

1. Yes The iphone X display panels are manufactured by Samsung but is designed by Apple. That is why you will find differences in the display of Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone X.Why samsung cause its the only company who can manufacture oled in large quantity. And you know what? Samsung profits from selling oled panels to Apple is higher than their profits on selling galaxy s8 2. if you know apple, they wont included two type of sensor in their devices, they always make it simple and yes every year the technology is advancing so i bet 2018 face id sensor is more sophisticated than the one in 2017. And Xiaomi have policy for only profit 5% on their hardware so thats why is so cheap and every company is different, so you choose which product you want to buy, xiaomi and apple never force you to buy their product :) so dont be so mad if some company sell it cheaper and the other sell at premium prices, they have their own market. 3. Synaptics announced on screen fingerprint ready for mass production in December 2017 and expect phone with the tech will be release in 2018. If i'm not mistaken iPhone X was released on November 2017? :). So you asked why apple has not done it yet? Cause they choose face id over touch id. And did i said other brands can do it too, i said other brands can used it too, they can use synaptics tech. They bought the parts from synaptics. Its not like vivo, xiaomi , oppo, huawei made it themselves, they bought it from synaptics. 4. Apple is the company who is never launch the product with new tech unless they are sure they can make the better product so thats why apple always late with adopting new tech. They dont care if they weren't the first one, they wont make it unless they can make it better. Apple bought Primesense an Israeli based pioneer in 3D sensor technology in 2013 so if you know what that means, it means face-id is not last minute addition to iPhone X cause apple fail to make on screen fingerprint. It release iPhone X with face-id cause apple is sure the tech is ready for mass production after years of research and development and it used on iPhone X cause its the 10th anniversary product that mark a beginning of a new direction.

IKSDE XD Sure name one trend apple started started. Ill rule out some for you already. Fingerprint, dual camera, face unlock, a notch, fast charging, wireless charging, bezelless. Apple copied all these from android phones.
@xXtim128Xx
@xXtim128Xx 6 жыл бұрын
IKSDE XD They didn't make all th3 bezells small as they left a humongous notch. They might have well made it into a bezzel as that extra space is pretty much worthless and you are right. It was indeed worth it to sacrifice functionality for design. Typical apple replacing/removing useful features and substituting them with inferior alternatives. Face unlock is crap compared to fingerprint and instead of innovating and inventing under display fingerprint they wait for someone else to develop the technology and copy it.

IKSDE XD Filled with tech sure. Tech noone requested in the first place. The fingerprint is perfectly fine on the back. Not to mention the bezels really arent that thin. Even the mi mix series, which are lime half the price, have thinner bezels

I have the transparent Mi 8 pro and the fact that it's not the actual components that operate within the phone doesn't bother me. It has a unique look and anyone who knows devices knows it wouldn't be a good idea thermally speaking to put the actual SoC right under glass.

I've had an iPhone X for about a year. I'm still not a fan of the (larger) notch. I'm kind of bummed to see other phones following suite. Definitely digging the in-display fingerprint scanner. Really wish apple would implement that (and the Pixel).

I'm fine with companies trying something different with regards to "wow factor". The explorer edition with it's showy internals is definitely an eye catcher, and I'm totally cool with that. Sooooo what if the added hardware is merely eye candy. Kudos to Xiaomi for thinking outside the slab!
