I just bought a new phone, and had made up my mind which one to buy until I realized it had no headphone jack. I ended up with a slightly different "copy" of the same Xiaomi model (the Chinese mid range phones now include copies of higher end Chinese phones - Google thinks my phone is a Xiaomi Mix 2; the phone I initially planned to get was [something else] Mix 2; I ended up with a Vernee Mix 2 - they all look the same, but have slightly varying specs)

It'll be an expensive lesson in particular for lower end brands that don't have margins like Apples to cushion them.

What software do the "copy" phones use?

Most of the ones I've had have been pretty much stock Android. Some weird exceptions.
