Recently, both the Chinese smartphone companies Xiaomi and Realme got into a tug of war on Twitter after Xioami’s copycat statement passed on Realme. Xiaomi India chief Manu Kumar Jain on Tuesday trolled its rival Realme by calling it a copycat brand and also shared a comic video. This is not the first time that both the companies clashed and got into an argument.

Earlier this month  Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi India CEO again started an argument by calling its Rival company Realme a copycat brand. He tweet reads, “Funny! A copy-cat brand mocks us. Later this brand brings ads & some ppl start blaming us. Most brands push ads but only Xiaomi is bashed. Because we’ve been transparent about our business model. If any journalist wants to understand our internet business, I’m happy to talk!”

Further adding fuel to this Head of Online Partner Sales at Xiaomi India shared a video via its Twitter account humiliating Realme. The tweet reads, “One of our fans sent this hilarious video about the #CopyCat brand. Fans sab jaante hain. I would say this to our friends – “Copying can only take you this far!”#नकल छोड़ो! थोड़ी अपनी #अकल लगाओ!”

To this Mr Jain tweeted that Xiaomi Note 7 pro comes with at that time’s latest Snapdragon 675 chipset and the realme’s phone has an older one.
