One aspect that the flagship Xiaomi Mi 8 was adjudged to have faltered by some was the lack of an on-screen fingerprint sensor. Instead, the device kept on with the popular rear-mounted fingerprint sensor which seems to be fading away gradually from latest flagship models. Xiaomi took care of that with the recent launch of the Mi 8 Pro. Xiaomi isn’t letting the frenzy generated by the launch die down as the Chinese company has officially announced a big news. Donovan Sung, Xiaomi’s Global spokesperson disclosed via a tweet that the Mi 8 Pro will be launching globally soon across the markets Xiaomi is present. Mr Sung also shared some unboxing photos of the device.
The photos include a variant with a translucent glass back similar to the Mi 8 Explorer edition. The device is also available in Ochre Black and Twilight Gold. The device sports a 6.26-inch AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 18.7:9. The device also packs an infra-red face unlock technology like the Mi 8. The use of infra-red ensures the phone can be unlocked in the dark using Face ID. As stated, the fingerprint security on the device includes an in-display fingerprint sensor.
