Counterfeit Jobs is just the media being the media. Lei Ju dressed like Steve and presented like him. They have done nothing remotely innovative as a company. Their phones looked like duplicates of the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy lineup for years, which from my understanding, is why they haven't entered the U.S. or other markets yet.

If you actually used any of their devices you'll quickly see that "done nothing remotely innovative" is an utter lie.

You are correct, I can point to countless articles showing what they have done without actually using them. Blatant design and OS ripoffs is what I can take away from it. "AN APPLE OF ANDROID", "Xiaomi's Mi Pad Is Almost a Spitting Image of the iPad Mini", etc. Show me an article or two where they have been innovative, please.

Their battery banks are some of the best on the market.

i used samsung galaxy for a couple of weeks. and no, mi does not copy samsung certainly.

samsung is loaded with utter crap default apps. asus follows this path with so many uninstallable default crapps.

i never rooted my mis and always update community roms. the default crapps are minimal.

mi phones (and miui) are ways up from others. it takes effort not to notice. buy one, play with it a couple weeks, and u never want to use other android phones.
