Today, Xiaomi unveiled its latest smartphone under the company’s new ‘Play’ lineup — Xioami Mi Play, making it the first smartphone to be powered by MediaTek’s Helio P35 octa-core processor.
Along with the launch of Xiaomi Mi Play, the company has also set a new Guinness World Record using the same smartphone to create the world’s largest dynamic puzzle using smartphones. The company made a Christmas tree of 7.9 meters using around 1,008 smartphones to set the record.
The company says that one of the major difficulties in forming a giant screen/display using multiple mobile devices is to connect those phone’s screens into a matrix and ensuring that all the smartphones are 100 percent in sync. However, the company was able to successfully set the record, beating the previous record of a dynamic mobile-based puzzle, which used 504 phones.
To complete the record, Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun put the last piece (Mi Play smartphone) into the puzzle. Later, the same tree-type structure was also made available for the audience. Also, the same structure also doubled-up to provide high-speed internet connectivity to the customers in the shopping mall, which also became the biggest hotspot in Beijing on Christmas Eve, said the company.
Revealing more information about this, Lei Jun said through Weibo post that the company was preparing for this activity since the last two weeks, and the team started making the construction at 4:00 AM and was completed at around 4:00 PM.
As said, the record was set using the Xiaomi’s Mi Play smartphone, which was launched by the company today in China. As we previously reported, the phone comes bundled with an offer that provides free 10GB internet data every month for one year.
The Xiaomi Mi Play features a 5.84-inch waterdrop Full HD+ display and is powered by MediaTek Helio P35 octa-core chipset with IMG GE8320 GPU. It packs 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage but we are expecting other variants to launch in a few months.
For photography, the phone comes with a 12MP 1.25μm primary sensor that is paired with a secondary 2MP sensor for capturing depth details for bokeh images. The front camera is an 8MP sensor with HDR, face recognition, and portrait mode, among others.
Connectivity options on the device include Dual SIM, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and a USB type-C port. For security, it comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. It is powered by a 3,000mAh battery which should be sufficient for almost a day.
The One Max sports an extra large 6.3-inch IPS, LCD, HD+ (1520 x 720 pixels) screen with an eye-catching waterdrop display. The phone packs a powerful MTK, Helio P23 processor with an equally competent ARM Mali G71 MP2 700MHz GPU, under the hood.

Upfront, there’s an 8.0MP front shooter with ƒ/2.2 aperture, and 76-degree wide angle for selfies.
