It can be safely said that Apple is copying Samsung S8 by bringing out a bezel-less iPhone X. The iPhone X is said to cost upwards of $1000 for its bezel-less design and OLED screen. Xioami, one of the top Android smartphone makers from China has decided to take on Apple as well as Samsung with its own version of bezel-less Android smartphone. With Apple poised to announce its iPhone X today, Xiaomi has already unveiled the successor to its innovative Mi MIX smartphone at an ongoing event in Beijing.
