Network Technology:
In a world driven by speed, efficiency, and seamless interaction, this device brings it all to your fingertips with GSM, CDMA, HSPA, EVDO, LTE, and 5G support. Each of these acronyms represents a step toward the future—a future where communication is instantaneous, where you are always connected, no matter where you are. Announced on February 22, 2024, and released on the same day, this device is not just a phone; it's a communication revolution in your pocket.
Body and Build:
At first glance, the dimensions of 161.4 x 75.3 x 9.2 mm (or 6.35 x 2.96 x 0.36 inches) suggest sophistication wrapped in practicality, with a weight that ranges from 219.8 g to 229.5 g (7.76 oz). The Glass front (Shield Glass) and eco-leather back evoke a sense of luxury, while the titanium (grade 5) or aluminum alloy frame provides the necessary sturdiness. The IP68 dust and water resistance ensures this device can stand up to the harshest conditions—up to 1.5 meters underwater for 30 minutes.
Display:
Step into the world of visual brilliance with the LTPO AMOLED display—68 billion colors, a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ support. It's not just a display; it’s a canvas for your digital experience. This device doesn’t just show images—it brings them to life with 1000 nits typical brightness and a staggering 3000 nits peak. The 6.73-inch screen, with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, makes every pixel sharper, every color richer. The Xiaomi Shield Glass (or Xiaomi Longjing Glass) adds a layer of protection that ensures your device stays pristine. Prepare to be immersed in a world where the screen is an extension of your reality.
Platform and Performance:
Under the hood, the Qualcomm SM8650-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset (built on a 4 nm process) is the engine that drives this powerhouse. With a multi-core CPU configuration that includes 1x 3.3 GHz Cortex-X4, 3x 3.2 GHz Cortex-A720, 2x 3.0 GHz Cortex-A720, and 2x 2.3 GHz Cortex-A520, the device excels in both performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the Adreno 750 GPU, gaming, multitasking, and media consumption become effortless and smooth.
Running on Android 14, the device offers up to 4 major Android upgrades, and is fortified by the HyperOS. This hybrid operating system delivers speed, stability, and all the features you need for effortless navigation. Whether you are browsing the web or editing 4K videos, this device is designed to handle it all without breaking a sweat.
Memory and Storage:
When it comes to memory and storage, this device spares no expense. With configurations ranging from 256GB with 12GB RAM to a massive 1TB with 16GB RAM, you will never have to worry about running out of space or slowing down. The UFS 4.0 technology ensures lightning-fast data transfer speeds, so you can load apps, stream media, and transfer files in the blink of an eye. However, there is no external card slot, so make sure to choose the configuration that fits your needs.
Camera System:
Capture the world in exquisite detail with the quad-camera system. The 50 MP main camera (f/1.6-f/4.0, 23mm, 1.0"-type) with multi-directional PDAF and OIS sets the stage for stunning photos in any light. The 50 MP telephoto camera (f/1.8, 75mm, 3.2x optical zoom) takes you closer to your subjects without sacrificing detail. The 50 MP periscope telephoto lens (f/2.5, 120mm, 5x optical zoom) lets you capture distant landscapes with precision, while the 50 MP ultrawide lens (f/1.8, 122˚) ensures that every moment is in focus. Add to that a TOF 3D depth sensor for accurate subject detection, and you have a camera system that’s ready for anything.
Video recording is nothing short of cinematic with 8K at 24/30fps, 4K at 24/30/60/120fps, and 1080p at a staggering 960fps. Dolby Vision HDR 10-bit color brings your videos to life with vivid clarity and cinematic brilliance. Whether you’re capturing a quick moment or a sweeping vista, the camera system adapts to give you the best shot.
Selfie Camera:
Take your selfies to a new dimension with the 32 MP front camera (f/2.0, 22mm), featuring HDR and panorama modes. It’s not just about the resolution—this camera is optimized for sharp, detailed images and video recording in 4K at 30/60fps. Whether you’re snapping a casual selfie or recording a vlog, the gyro-EIS ensures that your footage is smooth and stable, even on the move.
Sound:
When it comes to audio, this device pulls no punches. With stereo speakers and 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res support, you get an immersive audio experience whether you're listening to music, watching movies, or gaming. The Hi-Res Wireless Audio ensures that even your wireless earbuds will deliver an audio experience that’s second to none. The absence of a 3.5mm jack might seem like a concession, but the world is moving toward wireless audio, and this device is ahead of the curve.
Connectivity:
From Wi-Fi 6e to Bluetooth 5.4 (with aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and LHDC support), this device ensures that you stay connected to everything and everyone, everywhere. The NFC and infrared port provide additional versatility, allowing for quick payments and remote control functions.
