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.
