Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, who recently launched its new high-end phablet Mi-Note to challenge the iPhone 6 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note, has published a video ad for the new device mocking Apple’s phablet in one design area. The video ad, discovered by Business Insider, was posted by Xiaomi shortly after Mi-Note’s announcement on YouTube and was shared by Singapore-based tech blog Hardware Zone.
“The Chinese company pokes fun at the iPhone 6 Plus’ protruding camera. The video showcases the iPhone 6 Plus throughout the video, but then “improves” it by smacking the phone with a frying pan in order to slim down its protruding camera (ouch).
After the iPhone 6 Plus is clobbered with the pan, it magically turns into a Xiaomi Mi Note, which has a rear camera that’s flush with the back of the phone”.
Well, take a look at the full video below and tell us what you think:

Interesting how they are so focused on making fun of the iPhone’s protruding camera when most Android smartphones have always had protruding cameras. It’s completely a moot point anyways if their Mi Note has a worse camera than the iPhone 6’s. I’d be extremely shocked if that were not the case.
I like how they clearly define their phone as being an iphone …without a protruding camera
will never use a Xiaomi even it is given for free, simly don’t trust their QC, I don’t want an explosion at home.
So they’re basically admitting that they directly copy Apple?
“Hey everybody, we made an iPhone without the protruding camera!”
They have seen how far Samsung got by copying and mocking apple. So they are doing the same thing.
