Just one week after a teaser by Xiaomi co-founder
that the company is preparing a 48 MP camera phone, another interesting bit of
info comes from Chinese maker - it is developing a new Xiaomi Play phone and
will announce it on December 24.
The information comes from a Chinese Weibo user who
said Xiaomi is planning a new event between December 17 and December 26, with
the most probable date being Christmas Eve. Although he does not reveal
anything else about this so-called Xiaomi Play, we are betting it will be
targeted to a younger audience and anyone else who is into smartphone gaming.
The new device will likely be a direct answer to the
Honor Play phone in its similar price category since Xiaomi already has a
dedicated gaming phone series called Black Shark Helo. Some Chinese sources
suggest it could be a rebranded Pocophone F1, given its low price and high-end
chipset that is already selling in over 700,000 units across the globe.
