The mid-year shopping festival, which is commonly known as “618” in China, is coming soon and the companies are gearing up for the same. In line with this, Xiaomi has announced its new marketing activity.

Xiaomi says that whoever buys its suitcase during the sale will get a surprise gift inside which could be anything from Xiaomi or its ecology of products. The company has added that the users can also find the latest Mi 10 Pro flagship smartphone inside the bag.

Anyone in China who purchases the suitcase products of Xiaomi from 1st June to 20th June through Xiaomi’s Tmall Store or through the company’s own Xiaomi Mall online store will be able to eligible for the surprise gifts.

Currently, Xiaomi is selling more than 10 luggage or suitcase products in China with their price varying from 999 199 yuan (~$28) to 999 yuan (~$140) and in different sizes as well — from 20-inch to 28-inch.

Last month, the company launched the 20-inch version of the Xiaomi Light Business Suitcase. It is manufactured using high-resistance PC-type materials and has improved shock-absorption, thanks to a 3-layer structure. It weighs about 3.6 kilograms, has an internal volume capacity of 36L, and costs 399 yuan which is around $56.

It is not all the time you see a manufacturer market a device that already has a successor, but that is exactly what Xiaomi is doing for the Mi 8 Pro a.k.a. Mi 8 UD.

The official Xiaomi phone Weibo account, as well as that of top executives, has begun advertising the 2018 flagship ahead of the 618 shopping festival. According to Xiaomi, the Mi 8 Pro will now have a starting price of ¥1999 (~$288). That price gets you the 6GB RAM + 128GB version while ¥2199 (~$317) is the price tag for the 8GB RAM + 128GB version.

Those prices are really amazing for a phone that sold for ¥3599 (~$519 for the 8GB RAM version) when it launched last year, but the low price isn’t the only reason why Xiaomi wants you to buy it. The Chinese giant has actually listed 10 new features of the Mi 9 which are now available for the Mi 8 Pro and makes it even a more compelling purchase. Below is the list of new features:

• Game Turbo – improves gameplay quality of games like PUBG
• MI Turbo – improvement in system performance
• New battery optimization features
• NFC support for more bus cards
• Dark Mode
• Dynamic Wallpaper
• Color Always-On-Display
• New charging animation
• In-display fingerprint shortcuts
• Screen stays “locked” when you raise the phone in case you just want to check notifications and time.

In three other separate posts, Xiaomi lists features such as the Snapdragon 845 processor, the dual-frequency GPS, and its pressure-sensitive in-display fingerprint scanner as top features of the phone. It particularly brags about the last two since it is the first phone in the world to have both features.

The Mi 8 Pro has a 6.21-inch 1080 x 2248 Super AMOLED display with a wide notch at the top for an IR Face Unlock mechanism, a 20MP selfie camera, and sensors. It is powered by the 10nm Snapdragon 845 and paired with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It has dual rear cameras – a 12MP f/1.8 primary camera and a 12MP f/2.4 telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. It has a bunch of camera features including 960fps slow-motion recording and Night Mode.

The Mi 8 Pro packs a 3000mh battery with support for Quick Charge 4+. It charges via a USB Type-C port but misses out on wireless charging like its successor. Add all of the above to its unique see-through back and you will be hard pressed to find a better phone at under $300.

The phone will be available at the new prices on the official Xiaomi online store.
