Very little is left to the 'event that Xiaomi has set for the 31 May in Shenzen, in which certainly there will be surprises in part revealed by the same Lei Jun, just as the debut of MIUI 10 and the expected Mi 8 flagship. But if until now the presence on the scene of Mi 7 has been in the balance, yesterday an official confirmation has arrived that the only smartphone to be presented at the press conference will be Mi 8 and not because as someone hypothesized the number 7 is considered a number "loser" in the Chinese tradition but simply because this new device has exceeded so much expectations of the same Lei Jun that we thought well to skip the number.
Perhaps a reasoning that we do not understand, but in any case let's say goodbye to the idea of a Mi 7 as in theory we must say goodbye to another feature that we thought should be present on the new top of the range. This time the news is not official but a sort of technical file has been leaked on the web that if it is confirmed throws a sort of discomfort among the fans who have been waiting for the new smartphone for some time. In fact we will find a 6,2 inch display with 2280 x 1080 pixel resolution but with IPS and non-AMOLED technology as always hypothesized by the rumors. We must admit that the panels used by Xiaomi on its devices are of high quality, like the one seen on the current Mi Mix 2S, but many expected a kind of diversification from other smartphones of the brand in this area.
Xiaomi Mi 7 and Mi 8: here are the latest news ... and they are not all positive !!!
The rest of the specifications reveals the operating system Android 8.1, processor Snapdragon 845, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, 7,8 mm thick and 172 grams of weight. Interesting instead the endowment of the photographic sector that on the front will see optics from 16 megapixel with aperture ffinal match. while the double module provided on the back will be composed by the combination of a sensor from 20 megapixel ffinal match. and a sensor from 16 megapixel ffinal match.. There is no mention of the presence of notch, fingerprint recognition sensor located under the display (a feature actually confirmed by the same Lei Jun) or of the 3D unlock but positive news comes to us from Qualcomm instead, which reveals us that Xiaomi Mi 8 will support 4 + Quick Charge Quick Charge technology. Compared to previous generations, the new technology will increase the charging speed by 15% while the actual efficiency will improve by 30%.
Meanwhile in China someone is moving forward, so as to improvise the handmade signs that invite customers to preorder about the new Mi 8 that will be presented on May 31. The price requested by the merchant is from 2999 yuan (about 400 euro), but no other characteristic is specified. In any case, I do not know how much the small shop has to do with Xiaomi, but congratulations for its inventiveness and entrepreneurial spirit.
Good morning and congratulations on your blog. But am I wrong or the fingerprint reader technology on the display is only available on amoled? So could you not have the reader on the screen?
latest news ... and they are not all positive ... That the Mi 7 disappears to make room for the Mi 8 does not seem to me to be so bad and the amoled display fades into the background, given the burn in problems that afflict that technology those xiaomi will have thought good to stay on a good ips, for the rest xiaomi is one of the few brands that does not compete on useless resolutions, in fact the mix 2s remains on full HD with a more than acceptable resolution for a phone, even if from 6 ″, in this way they also remain more performing and requires...
