Xiaomi Mi 7 to Come with Display Notch & In-Display Fingerprint Sensor

(March 28th, 2018)

Just yesterday, Xiaomi launched the Snapdragon 845 powered Mi MIX 2S bezel-less smartphone in China. Today, we got some new information about its upcoming flagship smartphone.

While there is no confirmation about the exact device, we expect it to be the upcoming Mi 7.

While Vivo has launched a couple of smartphones with the under-display fingerprint sensor, Huawei has recently unveiled the Porsche Design Mate RS with the same under display fingerprint sensor. Even the Mi 7 launch delay was said to be because of the difficulty in implementing the in-display fingerprint sensor and the display notch. However, the Mi 7 will also include the Face Unlock for secure unlocking.

The Mi 7 should be coming with an OLED display with a notch on the top. It will be powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform coupled with Adreno 630 GPU. While the Mi MIX 2S is currently limited to the Chinese market, we might see the Mi 7 launching in the global markets.
