Xiaomi Mi 7 Rumours

A new leak surfaced on the web today, claiming to shed some light on Xiaomi’s Mi 7 flagship smartphone. According to the leak, Xiaomi Mi 7 will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset and feature a Samsung-made 6.01-inch AMOLED display. In terms of the build, Mi 7 is tipped to feature a metal and glass design, similar to the Mi 6.

While there is no mention of the aspect ratio, it does seem fairly certain that the Mi 7 will at least feature much thinner bezels than the current Mi 6. However, seeing how the upcoming Redmi Note 5 will feature an 18:9 ‘bezel-less’ display, an 18:9 aspect ratio display is definitely likely. In the memory department, the Mi 7 is rumored to feature 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage and for the higher end model it will be of 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage

After Apple introduced its Face ID facial recognition technology, some reports have suggested that Android OEMs such as Samsung, Vivo, Xiaomi and OnePlus are expected to come out with a similar facial recognition feature in their upcoming smartphones. Sadly, the latest leak claims the Mi 7 will not adopt the feature, as the technology behind it is still not fully mature.

In the camera department, Xiaomi Mi 7 is rumored to feature a dual-camera setup with a pair of 16-megapixel sensors. The 16MP sensors will apparently be paired with f/1.7 aperture lenses, which should allow the Mi 7 to deliver improved low-light performance when compared to the dual 12MP setup on the Mi 6. While there is no word yet on the battery capacity, the Mi 7 will include support for fast charging. The smartphone is expected to be launched at a starting price of 2,699 yuan in China for the 6GB model, which converts to roughly Rs 27000 and for the 8GB model, it will be priced at 2,999 yuan which converts to roughly 30000. As for the launch, you can expect the Mi 7 to be officially announced in the first quarter of 2018.

Whether or not this leak is accurate should become quite clear in the near future, as we expect more concrete leaks to start surfacing online by early next year.
