Not only is it a carbon copy of the iPhone X—right down to the notch design and the placement of the camera—the special Explorer Edition version with a transparent back may not be what it seems. One of the key advantages a transparent back offers is that you can see all the internals of the device. It’s mostly for...
Xiaomi made its latest flagship official. Just don't expect the Mi 8 to stand out from the outside. Although this phone is an absolute beast on paper, Xiaomi didn't exactly invest too much in the look and feel of the Mi 8. It looks just like Apple's iPhone X. Many phones have notches and dual-camera setups, but the Mi 8 doesn't present them in a unique way. Getting past its...

Xiaomi didn’t necessarily hide its latest phone leading up to today’s announcement, and that’s because the Mi Mix 2S isn’t too different compared to its predecessor. But the company did add some features that could make it a worthy upgrade. From the outside, Xiaomi only made minor tweaks.
