And in the frantic rush of trying to impress with the craziest smartphone, Xiaomi takes us back to the past sponsoring a simple, retro device, but with a pinch of today's smart technology. In fact, the company makes its own platform available through crowdfunding, to the product that responds to the name QIN, an old-fashioned mobile phone with integrated virtual assistant Xiao AI, and sold for the price of 199 yuan (about 25 euro) with shipments starting on 15 September 2018.
Aesthetically QIN might look like a simple phone with "bar" design, just like the one that went out of fashion before the advent of current smartphones, but in any case manages to offer interesting features such as the presence of a IR transmitter which will then allow for use QIN as a remote control. We find in dowry a 2,8 inch QVGA color display with T9 keyboard, slim design, 3D stereo speakers (via the ear capsule) e hybrid-type SIM slot, i.e. two nano SIMs or 1 SIM and micro SD card.
Xiaomi launches QIN, the mobile phone from the past with a hint of the future
The latter an almost obligatory choice since they complete the hardware equipment 512 MB mass storage, 256 MB RAM memory and processor SC9820E Cortex A53 in 4G LTE variant while the variant with 2G connectivity we find the chipset MT6260A ARM7, 8 MB of RAM and 16 MB of ROM. QIN is offered in 2 color variants including the white and black, while the operating system is MOCOR5 on Android base for the 4G model or Nuclues for the QIN 2G model.
Finally, there is no lack of connectivity at the level WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2 while the 4G variant also offers the feature VoLTE and GPS and if you are already wondering, I tell you right now that nThere is no support for band 20. Finally we find a battery from 1480 mAh which can be charged via the port USB Type-C. But the peculiarity lies precisely in the AI voice capabilities which allow in addition to the real-time search of news, weather and more also the translation into 17 languages. In addition, artificial intelligence will also allow you to answer specific questions or tell a story to your little Mi Fans.
