MWC 2018 promises to be a dream come true for many
Android enthusiasts as many smartphone makers will be showcasing their latest
and greatest at the international expo. This year we can add Chinese phone
maker Xiaomi on to that list. The company plans to be on the international
stage to show off the Xiaomi Mi 7.
Xiaomi’s CEO has already chalked plans to equip the
2018 flagship with the Snapdragon 845 chip. Astonishingly, there’s very little
known about the physical aspect of the device. Thankfully, there are some
renders that have appeared in the past, and we’ve yet found another render of
the device. Days earlier, we saw just a glimpse of the back of the device. But
that’s not enough for us. Today’s leaked render shows a front that is a flipped
version of the Mi Mix 2 design. Hence, you’re looking at top bezels while the
bottom is completely free of it.
This Mi 7 design scores some points over the Mi Mix
2 because the top bezel is home to some sensors that are vital in that place.
The top bezel is very thin on this. And if this leak is accurate, it could
trump the Mi Mix 2 in screen-to-body-ratio.
Further, the render of the Xiaomi Mi 7 also shows
off a rear dual camera setup and a fingerprint reader also at the rear. The Mi
7 will be empowered with AI to deliver stellar photography as part of the
company’s aim to focus on AI in 2018.
With all the new smartphones coming up, MWC 2018
promises to be a show we can’t wait to see. Let’s hope Xiaomi really delivers
an awesome design at the expo.
