Xiaomi CEO not to be outdone, today on his Weibo page he posted a post that made my jaw drop, they are up to something again, they are going to launch a 10.000 Juan ~ 457.000 Ft phone.
The Chinese New Year is coming up, starting on 12 February 2021, and knowing our Eastern friends, they are partying for 1 week. Xiaomi CEO invited his colleagues and of course his fans to a press event with a New Year's Eve dinner. Of course, fans will only be able to enjoy the feast online, and perhaps the unveiling of a new phone.
In his post announcing the event, the boss asked his followers how they would feel about a phone over 10,000 Yuan, would they buy it? Plus he asked how such a poisonously expensive phone should look like. Well, something that expensive is either made of gold with diamond inlay, or some hyper-super new technology, or just plain has a bitten apple on it... :mrgreen:
All joking aside, we only have an inkling and an idea of what it will actually be. If we take the birth of the Xiaomi Mi Mix as a starting point, it's likely to be the next Mix phone, either with a foldable or a hinged display, but there's no way they're going to introduce something revolutionary again. For damn expensive stuff though, there's the Mix Alpha, although that's more e-purse fad than actually usable phone.
What do you need in a phone like this? The best of everything. SD888 processor, 12/24 GB RAM, 512 GB / 1 TB ROM, Sony IMX789 camera, ceramic housing, foldable display, 120 W fast charging, 5.000 mAh battery, under-screen selfie camera, 80 W wireless charging, Harman Kardon speaker, IP68 water and dust resistance, etc. what else do you think it needs?
