He added the Honor V20 on-screen camera, ToF deep-sensing lens, Link Turbo, cloud computer and other technologies have pioneered technology and become the industry benchmark…”. Although Honor took a swipe at Xiaomi, it was the company’s sub-brand, Redmi, that responded.

Lu Weibing, vice president of Xiaomi Group and general manager of the Redmi brand, said that the ToF technology paraded by some brands is a gimmick that is used to deceive users to spend money.
