A new leak has been spotted online for the alleged Xiaomi Mi 7, which shows that the new smartphone will sport a display notch. The notch also includes a number of holes, which are said to be reserved for sensors. This may suggest that Xiaomi is trying to opt for a technology similar to 3D face recognition, spotted on an iPhone.
A new leak has been spotted online for the alleged Xiaomi Mi 7, which shows that the new smartphone will sport a display notch. The notch also includes a number of holes, which are said to be reserved for sensors. This may suggest that Xiaomi is trying to opt for a technology similar to 3D face recognition, spotted on an iPhone.
The image shows off the alleged front panel of the device (on the left) along with Vivo X21 panel (on the right side). The picture on the left also shows a minimal bezel towards the bottom of the Mi 7.
According to rumours, Xiaomi’s new device will sport a 6.01-inch bezel less display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. It will be powered by the latest chipset, Snapdragon 845, along with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. It also expected to be backed by a 3000mAh battery. Lastly, the smartphone might also include the ability to unlock the smartphone with your face, similar to the technology spotted on the iPhone X.
Apart from the Mi 7, the company is also expected to unveil the Redmi Note 5 this year. A report points out that the device will be released sometime in the second quarter of 2018, and will spot the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC.
According to MySmartPrice, the launch of the smartphone has been slightly delayed as Xiaomi is waiting for Qualcomm to release the octa-core Snapdragon 632 SoC, a minor downgrade over the Snapdragon 636 chipset that was announced in October last year. We can expect a slightly lower clock speed as well as a lower-clocked GPU. However, the Snapdragon 632 is expected to retain the Qualcomm Spectra 160 ISP, which offers better optimization for dual-camera setups than the Snapdragon 625.
In November last year, the device was briefly listed on China’s online retailer JD.com, suggesting that the launch is in the pipeline. Though the teaser had no mention regarding specifications, it did have a placeholder price of CNY 8,888 (approximately Rs 88,000). Most probably, this will not be the official price tag of the smartphone. To recall, the Redmi Note 4 was launched in January.
