Chinese electronics company Xiaomi gave TechCrunch an in-depth look at its products and business model. The phone runs MIUI 6, Xiaomi’s take on Android. Its home screen and built-in apps look and feel quite a bit like recent iterations of iOS.

Unfortunately the phone doesn’t support LTE in the United States, so we were stuck with Wi-Fi and 2G cellular for testing. Kyle Russell takes a look at the Xiaomi Mi Note, a Chinese competitor to the iPhone.
