Exactly what I'm thinking from the first time I saw these new xiaomi's. It somehow doesn't matter who came up with this design (actually Poco, not xiaomi), it matters that at the same time as iphones, xiaomi decides to implement it for the first time. Poco somehow does not equal xiaomi, so it's first time xiaomi is implementing the poco design. And on top of that the name, why the same names as iphone.

Totally shameless coping, so even if it's not bad design and even looks better than iphones, it's very bad timing. Getting these xiaomis now means like getting a worse phones than they are, and they makes iphones step up like a "real deal" phones, even when they look worse.

In case you do not know, POCO is or was a submark of Xiaomi, so yes, the POCO desing are XIAOMI desing.

See. The thing is the design isn't copied, cause the poco F6 had that rear island without the 2nd screen so it's like they came up with it way back just upgraded it now, but I do get the part where I don't like how they abandoned the naming and 16th edition in series just for sake of Marketing, but then that's a personal preference. Overall they do make new innovations even if they adopt something they upgrade it. Hope they change the naming back to original on global release or in future products cause I love the uniqueness of it.

Which Poco phone? Is it exactly the same? Anyways at least we both agree why Xiaomi completely skipped the number 16 this year and named their whole line-up exactly the same.

A lot of poco phones look like these tho. As if iphones are the only one being copied. Mobile copy each other thats how they improve. Samsung make iphones screens and sony makes iphones camera. Who cares

Also watches look similar ... it's normal to copy what works well, and if you think that they were studied months before and they came out at nearly the same time... well doesn't look that one copied the other.

I'm not defending Xiaomi, Apple neither, it's just how it works.

Right. A lot of mobiles copy each other

Just saw the Harmony OS. I thought it was just the naming scheme, but the OS is also a blatant copy of iOS! Like seriously, copy paste!!!


if you’re still denying that xiomi is copying Apple you have to absolute dunce.

Huh? Xiaomi has had those designs for yearsssss. Iphones dynamic island copied from honor's smart capsule. Everyone copy from each other. I have iphone and android. I don't stick to one. Both have good and bad sides

Unfortunately, China is leading in EV technology. And you do realize, a sixth-generation fighter jet is not something you copy... 😅

He will probably say they also copied the flying car, drones used to carry heavy objects in construction sites instead of cranes and their hypersonic missiles too.
