Xiaomi is
introducing its Play smartphone on December 24 as an entirely new series. A
company official told Chinese sources that to allow mobile gamers and fans to
enjoy the device without being bothered by connectivity, Xiaomi will release
the device with an unlimited data plan with the first 10 GB at full speed for
no extra price.
This is the second
time in a week Xiaomi has provided plenty of data to its customers. IT Home
reported that the company offered 666 GB of traffic for some developers,
working on the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 updates. The freebie can be claimed through an
app, then follow instructions.
Xiaomi Play will
come with a waterdrop notch, a first for the manufacturer. The front panel will
be 5.84” with Full HD+ resolution, 3/4/6 GB RAM and 32/64/128 GB storage and
main camera of 12 MP. The battery will be 2,900 mAh, but info about the actual
software is scarce.
According to
reported sources, the Xiaomi Play will come in three configurations - 4GB +
64GB, 6GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB - and in three colors - Black, Dream Blue and
Dawn Gold.
Whether the Xiaomi
Play is indeed a separate phone to the Redmi 7 or whether they'll be the same
thing for different markets remains to be seen.
