So many things are wrong with your assertions bro.
Firstly, you said have not used a xiaomi phone but you have concluded that you can't compare it with apple.
Secondly, you asserted that xiaomi copied apple but you failed to educate us in the aspect xiaomi did that. Probably you have read about the China versus US trade war and the current attempt to blackmai Huawei by the US government, and the reasons given by the US for that hence your assertion. Let educate you that what you call copying is normal in the technology industry and everyone does that including Apple.
Huawei was rated the most innovative smartphone brand of 2019 and some people who no nothing about the smartphone industry still believe that Chinese brands copy Apple.
You made another error by saying that the western world use only Samsung and Apple, but let me remind you that the westerners also Huawei, xiaomi and other Chinese brands. Xiaomi currently has official presence in three European countries including France and Spain. The company is yet have an official presence in the US but Americans buy xiaomi products online.
Also, your assertion that IPhone and Samsung are the most widely used phones in the world is a blatant lie.
Currently in terms of global sales, Samsung has the biggest market share followed close by Huawei before apple.
You also asserted that IPhone beats Samsung phones, and I began to wonder whether you even make a research before commenting. Currently apple's flagship xs max is not eve in the top 6 of the biggest smartphone phone of 2019. The likes of Samsung s10, s9, Huawei p30 pro, huwei mate20 pro, Google pixel 3 are all above apple's xs max..
If you decide to compare them in terms of camera, the likes of Google pixel 3 Samsung s10 and Huawei p30 pro and even mate20 pro are all better than xs max.
In speed and ram management,After seeing a series of YouTube videos, I discovered that the s10 beats the xs max hands down. Even in body build.
So in what aspect is iPhone better than tge Samsung and other brands? Perhaps you are the type that compare a brand's flagship with another's midrange.
Lastly, let remind you that that xiaomi has a huge presence in China and it is a major competitor to Huawei, Samsung and Apple there.

There is a big mistake/misconception you are making bro. The apples and samsungs phones that are so expensive ARE NOT outrightly bought by even the rich in Europe and America. Most are on payment plans with phone networks n pay installmentally for the phones. Eg. Mr A might go to Verizon (network) to purchase an iPhone 9 of above 1000 dollars(when it's new). He makes an installental payment agreement to pay off in 18months. By the 13th month, iPhone releases the new iPhone X. He takes the 9 back to the store n recalculates the installment, returns the 9 n picks up the X with a new monthly instalment.
Most citizens in developed countries do not outrightly purchase a phone that's as costly as Samsung or iPhone premiums. Especially a phone that can cost above 700 or 1000 dollars. You really need to do more research before you type bruv...
And before you tell me actors, musicians n sportsmen purchase their phones outright, u may be right. But are the majority of Americans or Europeans musicians, actors or sportsmen?



This shows that you have been to a western world. Same thing with cars. Don't pay outright payment they will just pay small then complete the payment some would not just complete the payment they will take it back and collect another one. Sometimes like here in America you will see someone govt can just pay off its citizens debts and they will clear the debts. We are suffering in Nigeria this is why our mentalities are going one side without thinking, without enough research. This was why someone will wake up here and start telling cock and bull stories of where he or she has never been to, maybe he or she was by one of their family members. Meanwhile, since i started using mi max 2 i have the value for my money on phones. If u have redmi note 6pro for sell mention this post let's have a good deal

seriously seriously
bro am not talking about two to 3 years ! currently a gtx1050ti laptop has the same graphics with a ps4 and mind you ,you can upgrade your laptop ram
so what are you saying
console can never be better than laptop
when i mean laptop i mean gaming laptop
you can't compare a laptop with gtx1060gb with a ps4 console and if you still argue this fact it means you know nothing bro go and watch fifa2019 graphics comparison between laptop and ps4 and comeback here and change your mentality
thought you even knw this stuff self
look at this one laptop plays game better than console mtchew
I don't have strength to argue read up what you wrote you can upgrade ram but can you upgrade your laptop GPU mtchew .... I have nothing to say till you play last of us on your laptop.

boss yeah this games on ps3 or ps4 that's not on Xbox or pc are called exclusive games
also pc has there exclusive games which can't be seen on ps4 too
this exclusive games Helps them get more customers not as if pc or Xbox can't play it!
my point is laptops has same graphics with consoles its just depends on your configuration
for example gta5 fifa19 wwe2k19 mortal combat x
and so on are same graphics on a gaming laptop and ps4 so its personal preference. if you wants ps exclusive games go for ps if you want a better gaming device over all then pc is your bet laptop or desktop

Samsung and xiaomi are not mates and I don't think anyone should argue that unless blind followers. Xiaomi bashing other brands might be both selective and defensive and that is because this is a xiaomi thread. We know how many times tecno and infinix fans have come here attacking the xiaomi. In that case we had to let them see the light.
.
Xiaomi as a product came with a unique concept.
.
1. To mid range phones with price value. They have done that well. Samsung is great in flagships but give so much price value for so little. I mean look at their J series. Take your time go through this review and the comments, you would understand why xiaomi is gaining where samsung is losing.

.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlR-s18f6wU


Samsung mid rangers tend to be very expensive compared to xiaomi without offering you the value worth. Xiaomi even though they have flagships, it's still not as expensive as what you get with Samsung. So people who want to be prudent with spending buy from them especially when differential improvements is either negligible or forgivable looking at the price point.
.
I mean look at poco f1 and look at its price.
Huawei, oppo one plus one, vivo are all competing in the flagship segments with Sammy and apple, but when it come to value for price of money, xiaomi wins. And to say they make better phones than xiaomi is a bit ambiguous because if we take a look at mid range where xiaomi focuses on, it beats them all.
.
Well its changing now. Realme and huawei y series are coming up and HMD with Nokia branding is making waves too. I think xiaomi is making all companies to put more in mid range at an attractive point.
You have spoken well Apostle Paul.

"Xiaomi" I don't know what it means in Chinese language.
But to me in English it simply means "Value for Money".

I downloaded the twrp.img and ran the command..on the command window...it shows success but when I boot into recovery mode I don't see anything TWRP
Flash recovery using the command, then immediately boot into recovery without booting to system. If you boot to system after flashing twrp, stock recovery, would take over again.

Alternatively, you can do whatever you want to do by simply booting twrp and exectutng.

To boot into twrp without flashing, use this command..

fastboot boot recovery.img

Where recovery. Img is what you have named your twrp.

I think its time we look into this issue asap. It's becoming alarming and really disturbing. Attack to personality while airing an opinion is really bad - doing this is a definition of how highly indisciplined and immature such a person is. This is social media, you don't know who is who, careful selection of words should be highly prioritized, even if u have to give a counter argument or opinion.

Perhaps, policies and rules can be put in place to help manage such situations.
