Personally I do not understand why the Xiaomi Mi Note 3 has not received the proper attention from the public, both fans and not the Chinese brand. Despite the confirmation of the photographic capacity directly from the DoXMark tests, and despite the Snadpragon 660 processor has proved practically at the height of the big brother 835, Xiaomi has found itself having to drop the price several times to make its terminal appealing. That will be why recent rumors begin to tell us about the next generation, the Mi Note 4 which seems to be distorting in its entirety.
The well-known blogger Roland Quandt through a post on social Twitter, tells us about the fact that Qualcomm has tested the latest Snapdragon 670 CPU on a prototype and providing the test platform configuration, including LPDDR4X RAM memory from 4 GB / 6 GB, XMMUM GB XMMUMX flash memory, 5.1 × 64 resolution, 2560 MP sensor rear camera and 1440 front MP.
The specifications of the 670 Snapdragon have not yet been confirmed, however according to some rumors, the 670 SoC will be updated with process 10nm lp, 2 core Kryo for maximum performance and Xrymx core Kryo for normal operations. Even the GPU will undergo an update by adopting the sixth series all to optimize energy consumption and heat dissipation. It is assumed that the production of the Snapdragon 670 processor can start within the Q1 of the 2018 while in the second semester they will be released for smartphone installation. In a sense, the regret for this new CPU goes to the flash memory type eMMC 5.1 that undoubtedly suffers the gap with the UFS type memories, but perhaps the choice is desired precisely by Qualcomm in order to differentiate the 6XX series from that 8XX .
But what should we expect from the Xiaomi Mi Note 4?
In a sense the Mi Note 4 seems to be able to resume the 2017 form factor, that is, a full screen display with frames reduced to the essential, while on the back the render shows us a body housing only a dual camera with 23 megapixel sensor and f / 1.7 optic, 4X optical zoom and its dual dual tone LED flash, inserted vertically, while there is no fingerprint sensor present, which can only mean that Xiaomi for its future Mi Note 4 provides an iPhone X style face release thanks to the 13 megapixel front camera.
We do not expect a fingerprint sensor inserted under the display, as Xiaomi is the one to declare that for 2018 his studies will go towards the direction of face recognition in 3D.
Returning to the display the same will have a 18 report: 9 with 1440 resolution x 2560 pixels with technology Super AMOLED provided by Samsung for a size of 6 inches. Regarding the release of course there are no certainties except the fact that probably Xiaomi will not repeat the mistake of releasing the new device in conjunction with the successor of the Mi Mix 2, so that the latter does not eclipse the model of the series Note .
Since Synaptics has announced that the production of fingerprint sensors to be inserted under the screen has begun, there is no possibility that the Mi Note 4 can integrate this technology. We just have to wait for new updates that we will not fail to report.
