Today, Xiaomi’s co-founder and President of Xiaomi Group China, Wang Chuan, made an announcement through Weibo that the Xiaomi Mi 8 Fingerprint Edition, which was launched last year, will get the new Game Turbo technology that’s present in the company’s new flagship, Xiaomi Mi 9.

In the same post, he said that the introduction of this new feature will improve the phone’s gaming performance. The Mi 8 Fingerprint Edition will be available for purchase in China from tomorrow 10:00 AM in 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model through major online retailers for 2,499 Yuan, roughly $373.

Xiaomi claims that the Game Turbo technology drastically improves the performance as it dynamically adjusts the CPU frequency according to the game rendering load. With intelligent scheduling of CPU frequency, the CPU is operated at a lower frequency in a less loaded scenario which reduces system power consumption.

On the other hand, the company says that in the scenes with large renderings such as multiplayer team battles, more active system resources are invested, which effectively increases the frame rate of the picture and reduces frame dropping.

As the name itself suggests, the Mi 8 Fingerprint Edition is another variant of the Mi 8 which comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner. According to the company, its unlock speed is 29% higher and the success rate has improved by up to 8.8%.

Rest of the phone’s specifications remains the same as Mi 8. It features a 6.21-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 2248 x 1080 resolution and a notch. There is a Snapdragon 845 processor under the hood along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
