However, at the Xiaomi 12 conference, Lei Jun responded that domestic mobile phones should have the courage to compare with Apple, why not compare it? No more than not knowing, a comparison will feel that the strength of domestic mobile phones is stronger than imagined.
Lei Jun also said that to be a small-size high-end flagship, it is not only the strength, but also the courage and determination to challenge Apple! (Article | Author of Finance tianxia Weekly Tang Guo)
