While continuing to grind results at home, Xiaomi Mi 8 is also expected in the rest of the IT world; and, like every top of the Chinese house, with a certain enthusiasm from users, who can not wait to get their hands on the new jewel.
So good news for the millions of Mi Fan around Europe, because it seems that this image could become reality very soon, thanks to an official confirmation of the company.
To be precise, this is a revelation of Zhiyuan Zang su Weibo. Product Marketing Director of the Chinese company has published a very direct post, stating that the debut on the international market of Xiaomi Mi 8 is scheduled for next month. Obviously, the manager was deliberately cryptic and did not specify the precise time or what will be the first countries interested in launching the device.
One thing is certain: starting from July, the new top of the range will also be released outside of China. We look forward to more precise information on the European market, although the good Roland Quandt told us that the device could arrive in Europe during the month of August.
Unfortunately, we have not yet been given precise information regarding the Mi 8 SE, although, according to a famous leaker, the launch of the variant Explorer would not be expected here by us.
Xiaomi Mi 8, the top of the range without certification of IP68 impermeability
Many people are waiting to have this new device in their hands, both for the price and for the components that place it in the highest range. The only flaw of the new My 8, the only missing component, the only certification not made is that IP68 which ensures the impermeability of the device.
In the face of this lack, tests were carried out to see how the smartphone behaved. The first test is performed inserting the device into a container and "sink" doing it flow over a vertical water flow.
After taking it out of the water and running all the tests, the results were excellent. The camera worked normally as its own screen which it had no problems with touch. This was not an unexpected result precisely because almost all devices can withstand a simple flow of water, provided that the charging outlet and the sound boxes are not facing the direction of the water source.
The second test was performed immerging completely the device in the water and the results were justified. While he was immersed the touch did not work so the smartphone was completely unusable, then just removed from the water everything is back working, allowing the user to perform actions challenging for the touch, as enlarge and decrease the zoom of a photograph.
The last test was the heaviest, the My 8 has been immersed in water a 1,5 meters of depth, with a strong water pressure that logically inflated inside the device. In fact, after removing the smartphone from the water and then opened, the battery of Mi 8 was completely covered by a layer of very clear water drops.
This makes us understand that, should you fall the new top of the Xiaomi range, inside the water to a depth of about 1,5 meters, before turning it on you must absolutely open it and dry the battery compartment certainly covered with water droplets.
