Xiaomi Mi 6X debuts in China with AI-powered dual cameras

-

Xiaomi announced its Mi 6 flagship phone last year, with the Snapdragon 835 SoC, 6GB of RAM, and 5.15-inch display. The Chinese Android OEM today announced a new, more affordable version, the Xiaomi Mi 6X, in China.

Xiaomi Mi 6X display, processor, and RAM

The new Xiaomi Mi 6X features a 5.99-inch, LCD screen with a Full HD+ (1080p) screen resolution. The Mi 6X comes with a more affordable processor, the Snapdragon 660 and three storage configurations: 4GB RAM/64GB, 6GB RAM/64GB, and 6GB RAM/128GB.

AI-powered dual cameras

Xiaomi's signature feature of the Mi 6X is its AI-powered dual cameras, a nod to the current camera trend (LG V30S ThinQ, Huawei P20/P20 Pro, the Honor 10, and the upcoming LG G7 ThinQ have AI-powered cameras). Google has also unveiled its AI-powered smart Clips standalone camera that fits in the palm of your hand.

The Mi 6X features a main 12MP (f/1.75) Sony sensor along with a  secondary 20MP (f/1.75) shooter. The secondary lens is used to improve night photography and in other low-light situations. Xiaomi says that there are 200 enhancements for its new AI cameras that learn your photography uses over time.

How great are the 6X's cameras? According to its manufacturer, they surpass the Oppo R15 and the OnePlus 5T in performance. Only testing can examine the truth of this claim.

The rest

Rounding out the specs are a 3,010mAh battery, Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 support, Face Unlock, and back-mounted fingerprint sensor. It ships with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and Xiaomi's MIUI 9.5 overlay and boasts Project Treble integration (which should lead to faster update releases).

Price and Availability

The Mi 6 is being sold at $360, while the Mi 6X starts at $250 (CNY 1,599) and comes in Black, Glacier Blue, Sand Gold, Flame Red, and Cherry Pink. While Xiaomi will sell the device in China as the Mi 6X, international markets will see the device listed as the Xiaomi Mi A2. There is no word at this time on when the international market can expect the Mi A2.

We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK).
