Finally after two months from the release date, Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition debut in sales, and to be exact at 19: 30 (local time in China), at the Xiaomi store and the brand's partner sites at a price of 3699 yuan (about 467 euro). And the wait for this Mi 8 Explorer Edition is justified by the fact that compared to the standard version, we find the fingerprint sensor integrated into the screen which is also sensitive to pressure but above all it is present unlock with Face ID face that on balance, proposes the unlock 3D used by Apple but on an Android basis. But today I do not want to talk about the features of Mi 8 Explorer, but the strepitosa transparent backcover that lets you glimpse the various chips and internal circuits, and that precisely for this reason has aroused both interest and sensation, so much so that someone has claimed that in fact Xiaomi had adopted a trivial sticker to make a scene.
Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition: away from sales and unveiled the mystery of the adhesive
Finally the answer comes to this, infact Xiao Zhiyuan, director of marketing for Xiaomi mobile products, gave a sort of virtual tour about the assembly of Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Stating that the motherboard is decorative but is real and that making it was not easy at all. Specifically, the entire “decorative motherboard” uses a steel-reinforced copper substrate, with 101 capacitors, 32 resistors, 6 switching ICs, 11 sensor ICs and 7 signal control ICs. In terms of the process, a complete piece of copper is first used as a substrate and a film is applied to it. Now we don't go too far into production phases that would be too complicated to explain in short lines but on balance it suffices to understand that Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition adopts a transparent back cover that shows the circuits and chipsets of the motherboard.
The latter are not drawn, they are not printed but they are real even if they have no function, in short, they have been inserted only for decoration, really captivating. And just think of how much work went into the assembly process in a sterile environment, in order to eliminate every little trace of dust. In conclusion we can say that Xiaomi Mi 8 is certainly not a fraud, does not adopt stickers, but simple visual ingenuity.
