After seeing present Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s, the current top range of the Chinese company, it is inevitable that our attention is already projected towards it Xiaomi Mi 7, a device that certainly will inherit what is good in the current Mi MIX 2s and that will bring, according to insiders, a system of biometric recognition based on the 3D scan of the facial features of our face, to make it short a technology similar to that present on Apple's iPhone X.
According to various reports available on the net, it seems that Xiaomi is the only manufacturer of Android smartphones that for this 2018 has decided to include such features on its top of the range; other major manufacturers such as Samsung and Huawei, although they also intend to implement this technology, it seems they have opted for solutions made at home rather than those of Qualcomm that necessarily require a Snapdragon 845, thus going against development timing not compatible with a release of a smartphone with 3D scan of the face by the end of this year.
Xiaomi Mi 7 delays because of 3D scanning technology of the face!
It would therefore seem that the immemorial and profitable partnership between Xiaomi and Qualcomm is proving to be a valuable advantage on the competition for the Chinese company and its Xiaomi Mi 7, but always according to recent reports released by Digitimes it seems that not all that glitters is gold.
As reported, in fact, the hardware developed by Qualcomm, Himax Technologies and Truly Opto-electronics, is creating many problems for the Xiaomi engineers who are facing various difficulties in compiling algorithms able to make the technology work properly. in question.
The development and optimization of a similar technology, if you want to bring it to a higher level or at least comparable with that of Apple, takes time and it is for this reason that it is stated that the launch of the Xiaomi Mi 7 has been postponed again few months.
Some rumors had already suggested a delay in the release of the 7 Mi just because of these problems, but now there is even talk of a presentation of the device in the Q3 2018 (period September - December) rather than within the first half of the year as previously hypothesized.
Can we trust the speculations of the Digitimes guys? Only time will tell us!
