Xiaomi releases iPhone X replica

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has a new flagship phone looking like Apple's iPhone X.

The Xiaomi Mi 8, which incidentally skips the 7 in favor of the number 8 to mark the company's eighth year, shares a similar notch design and vertical rear cameras. It will also come with infrared cameras located at the notch for face unlocking, a feature also available on the iPhone X, cnet.com reports.

The Mi 8 will run Xiaomi's custom MIUI 10 skin on top of Android, and the new updated skin will feature gesture controls and a driving mode that uses Xiaomi's own Xiao Ai voice assistant. It will also support portrait mode for single camera phones.
