Yesterday we left off with the fact that Xiaomi today would have done a important announcement. Among the hypotheses there were those who came up with the idea that in this 22 may the company present a new smartphone, perhaps the Mi 7 but in reality Xiaomi has simply formalized what we already knew, namely that The 31 May in Shenzen will host the presentation event to commemorate the company's eighth anniversary. Yeah, you got it right, Lei Jun spokesmen did not say that the 31 may be presented on the 8 Mi but they simply confirmed that on that date there will be an ewind that will see many products protagonists.
Without a doubt, all this is set up for increase the hype, since the 8 Mi was leaked in the network the official package, some images leak e more. What saddens us a little is the fact that apparently Xiaomi really decided to abandon the idea of a Mi 7 leaving room only for the future top of the range celebrating the anniversary. And if yesterday we showed you the probable prices of the new Mi 8, which could be presented in 4 variants, today other images are leaking on the net that reveal the price of the new smartphone. Mi 8 will apparently be equipped with 6,01 inch display (there is still no official presence on the presence of notch), 6 / 8 GB of RAM, 64 / 128 GB of internal memory, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, Face Recognition 3D, dual AI camera.
Xiaomi confirms the appointment for the 31 May: nothing Mi 7 but only Mi 8
Speaking of the price, the variant from 6 GB + 64 GB will cost 2799 yuan, about 372 euros while the variant from 8 GB + 128 GB will have a price of 3199 yuan, about 425 Euro at the current exchange rate. Prices decidedly lower than those shown yesterday, but in any case whatever the list price, Xiaomi Mi 8 is preparing to become in a short time the true killer flagship for this 2018, questioning the OnePlus 6 baby right away.
The confirmation on the abandonment of Xiaomi Mi 7 is not entirely official and a hope that two top of the range can coexist reach us from the FCC and 3C certification, that these days have hosted two named models M1805E2A and Xiaomi M1803E1A, both with 5V 3A / 9V 2A / 12V 1.5A fast charge support (up to 18W). I think that before May 31st we will see other interesting gems that maybe will reveal this mystery once and for all.
