Following the successful Redmi series, Xiaomi
continues to level up its game as it plans to equip its mid-rangers with under-display
fingerprint scanner. A report from XDA-Developers showed that at least three new
smartphones undergoing hardware testing were spotted to have
fingerprint-on-display (FOD) technology.
According to GSMArena, the devices might be the
Xiaomi Mi A3 and Xiaomi Mi A3 Lite and one of their Chinese versions. The three products have
codenames: "pyxis", "bamboo_sprout", and
"cosmos_sprout". XDA-Developers expects the "bamboo_sprout" and the
"cosmos_sprout" to be Android One smartphones given their _sprout
suffix codenames. "pyxis", meanwhile, may
be the Chinese model of either the "bamboo_sprout" or the
"cosmos_sprout".
The smartphones are also expected to have 32MP
selfie shooter as the Chinese company has begun testing image output at 32MP
resolution (6560 x 4928). Inside the devices,
XDA-developers said they would likely compete in the midrange segment, and that
Xiaomi may equip them with mid-range Snapdragon chipsets.
Since the smartphones are still on the hardware
testing phase, we may have to wait a little longer before we could see more
specifications about the products.
