"In the teaser video, we can read that “5 lets you see more, 5 gives you the widest perspective, 5 is an all-rounder device, and 5 makes colours come alive”. From these words, it seems that the midrange will have a very wide screen and a high resolution as well," the report stated.
​
If rumours are to be believed, the Redmi Note 5 could sport approximately 6-inch, full HD+ IPS LCD display. The device is also touted to launch in two storage variants — 3GB RAM/32GB and 4GB RAM/64GB.

Xiaomi greets a happy new year with Android Oreo for Mi A1

1/1/2018

Comments

 
The Mi A1 is receiving Android Oreo 8.0 in batches across the world.
Picture
Xiaomi created a lot of hype in the market last year with their first smartphone running a stock version of Android. Falling under Google’s revamped Android One programme, the Mi A1 got a lot of positive response from the consumers, acknowledged for bringing good hardware with slick software. Xiaomi also promised timely updates with the phone, with Oreo 8.0 before the end of 2017. and, they did deliver, rolling out a stable version of Oreo for the Mi A1.
​
The company officially rolled out Android 8.0 Oreo for the Mi A1 on 31st December 2017. The stable version is made available with the December 2017 security patch as of now, which should have been coming out with the January security patch. Since this is an Android One phone, all the new features associated with stock Android 8.0, such as Picture-in-Picture mode, notification dots and more, will be available straight off the go.

With the Oreo update, Xiaomi has made the Mi A1 one of the very few phones to get the latest version of Android. Their own flagship model Mi MIX 2 has only started seeing beta builds testing as of now in limited numbers in the Chinese market. The midrange smartphone segment hasn’t seen many smartphone models tasting Android Oreo, thus making the Mi A1 a better proposition for those looking to get the latest software on a budget.

The Mi A1 is built on a Snapdragon 625 chipset, which is backed by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. It sports a 12MP dual rear camera and a 5MP front camera. The phone was recently unveiled in a limited edition Red colour for the festive period.

Xiaomi’s MIUI 9 to steal another major iOS feature

1/1/2018

Comments

 
The current beta build of MIUI 9 brings gesture-based navigation from the iPhone X.
Picture
If we are to convey our honest opinion about Xiaomi, the company takes a lot of inspiration from Apple products for its entire product lineup. Right from the MacBook ‘inspired’ Mi Notebook to the iPad ‘inspired’ Mi Pad to the iOS ‘inspired’ MIUI, every product and service in Xiaomi’s lineup smells ‘so-Apple’. If you adore this idea, then good news for you — Xiaomi is again taking inspiration for its next MIUI 9 update, this time from their flagship iPhone X.

The latest beta build for MIUI 9 brings iPhone-X-like gesture-based navigation for selected Xiaomi smartphones, namely the Mi MIX, MI MIX 2, Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus models. If you are a Mi fan, then you will notice that all the devices mentioned here sport an 18:9 display with no physical buttons on the front. The gestures include swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go back to the home screen, swiping from the bottom and then holding for one second to open up the Recents tab, and swiping left or right from the screen to the middle to switch between apps.

All of these gestures are currently present on the iPhone X. However, it will be interesting to see how Xiaomi manages to integrate these gesture-based control on Android, a platform that natively supports navigation through software-based buttons at the bottom. Will the new gestures require app developers to adapt their apps accordingly for MIUI 9-powered handsets? Will it work as flawlessly as iOS? We will have to wait for until the stable ROM rolls out to find out.

Apple wins 'Mi Pad" trademark case against Xiaomi at EU court

12/6/2017

Comments

 
court ruled that Mi Pad should not be registered as trademark as consumers were likely to be confused by the similarity with iPad.
Picture
Apple Inc has succeeded in preventing Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi Inc from registering its “Mi Pad” tablet computer as an EU trademark because the name was too similar to Apple’s “iPad”.

The European Union’s second-highest court, the General Court, ruled that Mi Pad should not be registered as a trademark because consumers were likely to be confused by the similarity of the signs.

“The dissimilarity between the signs at issue, resulting from the presence of the additional letter ‘m’ at the beginning of ”Mi Pad“, is not sufficient to offset the high degree of visual and phonetic similarity between the two signs,” the Court said in a statement.

Xiaomi filed an application in 2014 with the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to register Mi Pad as an EU trademark.

Apple subsequently lodged a complaint that the EUIPO upheld in 2016 on the grounds that consumers would think Mi Pad was a variation on Apple’s iPad trademark.

The court agreed with the EUIPO’s decision and said English-speaking consumers were likely to understand the prefix “mi” as meaning “my” and therefore pronounce the “i” of Mi Pad and iPad in the same way.
​
Xiaomi can appeal against the ruling at the EU’s highest court, the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Xiaomi to unveil Redmi 5 and Redmi Plus

12/4/2017

Comments

 
The next generation of Redmi devices will come with taller 18:9 display and reduced bezels.
Picture
Xiaomi’s next generation of Redmi 5 devices are on their way. In a Twitter post, its director of product management Donovan Sung has just shown off the devices named Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus. The pictures suggest considerably reduced bezels and a taller aspect ratio, presumably 18:9 which is in line with recent releases from other smartphone makers. The devices will be formally unveiled on 7th December at China.

While the Redmi range isn’t the flagship line of the Chinese maker, it does contribute significant numbers to its sales and it's especially important in price sensitive market like India.The Redmi 4 and Redmi Note 4 are the two most popular phones in the country right now, according to an IDC report which has put Xiaomi just behind Samsung to claim the title of most selling smartphone brand.

Sung hasn’t revealed any information about pricing though. For comparison’s sake, the Redmi 4 pricing starts at Rs 6,999 in India, which gets you a phone with a metal build, a fingerprint sensor, a 5-inch 720p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor, a 13MP camera, and a 4100mAh battery.
​
We expect Xiaomi to continue its aggressive pricing stance for the foreseeable future and price these devices competitively. Stay tuned for coverage when they're revealed in full on December 7th.
