After the success of the launch and release of Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, reports of the new iPhone 8 is starting to circulate. The fingerprint feature is one of its promising features that every iOS fan is looking forward to experience. However, it would appear that another smartphone has beat Apple to it and not only does it have the exact same new feature of the iPhone 8, but it is also cheaper. On September 26, news about the Xiaomi Mi 5s started to intrigue a lot of people and tech enthusiasts.
According to a report by BGR, a company called Xiaomi has been existing for a while now and they make really good copies of pretty much anything that Apple releases. Their smartphones are under the Android platform and believe it or not, they are of good quality that lots of their consumers are satisfied with their products. Xiaomi, however, is not famous in the United States. One of its reasons is because they might get sued for stealing intellectual property ideas.
