Now one thing you have to know about these Xiaomi phones, especially the transparent Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer, is that they borrowed quite a lot of specs and features from the popular Apple iPhone X, they borrowed quite a lot more than they should have borrowed.. infact one thing you have to know, is that this phone is just an iPhone X under the Android shadow. And we will be coming to that in a minute... but in case you've never seen the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer before, and you want to feast your eyes to some new wonders of the world.. here's you go..

So back to our main discussion.. So in case you must know, here are the features that the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer collected from the popular Apple iPhone X.


1. The Design (Placing these two devices side by side, without bearing their logos might give you a really tough time to tell them apart).

Not on sale for now, but Speculations say it should be approximately $578, but nobody is sure if it will be shipping to the USA, not to talk of Nigeria..

Where is that my brother that went to order iPhone X from all the way from America, let him come and order this one too.. .. henry007 you know what i'm talking about...

Your blog posts are very interesting.

Phone section Mods are sleeping on you but don't relent. Keep it up.

If you order on aliexpress, they'll ship worldwide including US and nigeria

I said in an earlier post that this is a direct iPhone X copy and someone said its not true. Nonetheless its a very good device and Xiaomi have done well. Too bad the Explorer version won't be as popular as the normal version as release day is not even know yet, meanwhile there's release date for the SE and regular version. I love the transparent back, if u want to troll ur friends, just show them the back of ur phone so they can see the snapdragon 845 chip smiling at them. I see more OEM's adopting this soon. No need to ask for specs of the phone, just look at the back and see the chip. Dope.

Wonderful one from Xiaomi again! So going for this once released

Nigeria blogger self, writing trash since 1914..

The phone is worth 600USD and you call it poor man's iPhone X.

Its an Android phone and not IOS..

Did you read other people's comments before writing your own.. did you see that they were happy with what i wrote and the blog as a whole? why can't you just say something positive for once with this mouth that God gave you and stop discouraging your fellow Naija brother.. if this was to be written by Android Authority now, you will be the first person to shout "cool", then you like it and share, noe because it is written by a Nigerian, it is now nonsense...

You can't spoil my day no matter how much you try to.

I don't read obvious rubbish, Poor man's I phone X is a turn off... Learn to be positive as well, is poor man positive?

You should have used a budget iPhone X instead of saying rubbish

There are tech terms, this is 2017,
Oh I forgot This is Nigeria anything goes

If you don't Know about a brand, at Least do some research..

I'm not dumbass to think a phone worth close to 900$ is poor man's iPhone X, it doesn't just correlate..

Below is an Example of Poor man's iPhone X..

The second is poor man's S8

Peace

you are a tech blogger and you don't know oukitel? That's strange.....You write well....but you need to manage the words you use....."poor man's iPhone", "is oukitel a phone" are statements that show you as not being objective.

But then we learn everyday.....

When i say "Is Ouikitel a phone" it doesn't mean i don't know Ouikitel.. go and learn your figures of speech then come back and argue with me later...

Definitely not a poor man's phone but this website has jerked up the price. The offial price if mi 8 explorer edition is around $600 which puts it in the same category as OnePlus 6. Definitely a worthy flagship killer. The regular mi 8 is $430. If truly this website wants to sell this phone for $900 plus then it makes no sense as people will rather get a galaxy s9 plus for cheaper or wait for the note 9 which will sell for around $850-900.
