Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the Mi 7 will reportedly feature wireless charging. As per a report by Android Headlines, the company itself has confirmed the same via their official WeChat channel. Xiaomi joined the Wireless Power Consortium a while back and the company will be partnering with Integrated Device Technology, a US-based tech firm, for the wireless charging module on its smartphone.
As per previous reports, the Xiaomi Mi 7 is tipped to feature a 6.01-inch OLED display with an 18:9 display aspect ratio. The company has already announced that it will be powered by the Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 845 platform. It is expected to feature 6GB RAM and could be powered by a 3500 mAh battery. The device could come with a dual 16MP rear camera setup along with a fingerprint sensor on the back. It is rumoured to be priced around 2,699 Yuan (Rs 26,400 approx).
The Xiaomi Mi 7 could also come with a facial recognition feature similar to the iPhone X. However, a previous report had suggested that the device might come with an under the display fingerprint scanner which was announced by Synaptics last month. The smartphone’s predecessor, the Mi 6, was launched earlier last year in China and the upcoming Mi 7 could also be exclusive to the company’s home country.
