MANILA, Philippines – Celebrating its 8th-anniversary this year, Xiaomi seems to be skipping the number 7. The company is calling its soon-to-be-announced flagship the Mi 8.
The company has reportedly already sent invites for the May 31 launch.
Most phones nearing launch are typically accompanied by a multitude of leaks. The Mi 8 is no different with a reported 3-second hands-on clip of the phone that shows off its in-display fingerprint sensor.
According to MobileScout, the device is seen running on the MIUI 9 operating system. With regards to the scanner speed, it seems to be faster than the X line of phones from Vivo.
Xiaomi’s follow-up to their flagship Mi 6 is also expected to debut a 3D facial recognition feature first seen in the iPhone X. If this is true, the Mi 6 could be the first Android phone to have this technology. Reports suggest that the scanner would be housed in an iPhone X-like notch.
Internally, the Chinese manufacturer is reportedly going to have the Mi 8 run on a Snapdragon 845 chipset with up to 8GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, and a 4,000mAh battery for power. It’s said to have a glass rear and support wireless charging.
Should the leaks hold true, the Mi 8 could shape up to be a powerhouse phone in terms of specs and features. – Rappler.com
