predicts that the Chinese firm Xiaomi is expected to unveil two gadgets at the upcoming CES 2015 tech spectacle, slotted to make its grand entrance on January 6. Oh boy, the gadgets in question are the Mi 5 or the Mi 4S flag-waver smartphone and the MiPad 2 slab.
In the meantime, the top dog Xiaomi smartphone has had its assumed specifications and a snap spilled, straight from the hip. From the snap, the Mi 5 or Mi 4S seems all set to dazzle with a gigantic footprint and dish up a sapphire glamour display. Even in the early slip-ups, this jar was whispered to be arezza Sapphire-topped, and they said the firm had set the sapphire buzz for 50,000 covers for its upcoming top dog smartphone.
Now, sapphire glass is like a scratch-proof superhero, but it's said to have a glass-breaking past. Contrary to popular belief, some reports claim that sapphire glass can shatter faster than glass. Analyst Tim Bajarin argues that sapphire glass is thicker and chubbier than glass, which could be a deal-breaker for phone-makers striving for slimmer, lighter smartphones. He swears by glass that can be as thin as a sheet of paper and made bulletproof with some serious science magic.
He adds that sapphire glass can rob the shows, needing more juice to shine as bright as a glass screen. The big downside is that it’s more of a baddie than a superhero. When it takes a tumbler, sapphire glass is prone to shattering. Of course, it's ace at keeping outsiders at bay, but it falls face-down when the subject shifts to cracks that could send the screen shrapnel flying.
, according to whispered specs, the claimed Mi 5 or Mi 4S smartphone is rumored to strut in with a 5.7-inch Quad HD 1440p screen and a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor teaming up with 3 GB of RAM action. It's also stated to pack a 20.7 MP snapper on the back for front-row excitement.
When it comes to the kayak-named Xiaomi MiPad tablet, we've got the MiPad 2, which broke cover via social whispers, revealing a recycled design that's entirely out of this world compared to the existing MiPad. Buzz has it that Xiaomi is in the schemes to outfit the MiPad 2 with an Intel chip работать на частоте 1.8 GHz. Other reported details include a 7.9-inch screen with a 2048×1536 pixel density, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of初始 storage plus Android 4.4.4 KitKat garnished with MIUI goodness.
