Xiaomi’s next smartphone teased to be aimed at the younger population has finally been revealed in official images by the company. The phone is set to launch in China tomorrow and is said to come with a water-drop shaped notch. While there are no images of the front, the water drop notch was leaked through TENAA listing of the phone.
Just a day ahead of the launch, Xiaomi President Lin Bin has shared official images of the Xiaomi Play, revealing the gradient treatment of the phones. In the images shared, only the Dream Blue and Dawn Gold have been revealed, but there are rumours of a black coloured variant as well. The images don’t show off the front of the device or reveal any other design features, except the presence of dual cameras on the back, along with a fingerprint sensor.
The Xiaomi Mi Play smartphone is expected to come with a 5.84-inch display with a full HD+ resolution. We are not sure what processor the phone will run, but it would be safe to assume that it will be an octa-core chip. The phone could come with a 2,900mAh battery. In terms of imaging, there is a 12-megapixel primary sensor with a secondary camera only for depth sensing. The selfie camera which is embedded in the water-drop notch will have an 8-megapixel sensor. Rumours suggest the phone would be launched in 4GB RAM/64GB storage, 6GB RAM/64GB storage and 6GB RAM/128GB storage variants.
While the phone is set to launch tomorrow, there is no word on pricing or whether the phone would be released in international markets. There were rumours that the Xiaomi Mi Play might be launched as the Xiaomi Note 7 Pro internationally, but there is no confirmation on this yet either.
