recent leaks of the iPhone 7<\/a> showed a variant of it with dual camera and a rumored name of iPhone 7 Pro. Xiaomi now announces Redmi Pro with Dual Camera. What a coincidence. Specs wise, it is on par, or even better than most phones. Price wise, it is always Xiaomi’s strong point. At just RMB1,499\u00a0(SGD305) \u00a0(32GB) or RMB1,699 (SGD345)(64GB), it is a steal.<\/p>\nNext, Apple MacBook Air is famous for its sleek and clean minimalist look. Look at Xiaomi’s latest product, Mi Notebook Air. Based on the design, it has the same minimalist look as the MacBook Air. It charges via USB-C, which will be the standard (my opinion) for future laptops and handphones. Even the name sounds similar. The killer part is the price. At RMB4,999 (SGD1,017)(13.3-inches) and RMB3,499 (SGD712)(12.5-inch), it is a really affordable, especially that the laptop comes with\u00a0NVIDIA GeForce 940MX dedicated graphics card (for 13.3-inch model only), something that you don’t see on typical laptops.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there is no news if they will come to Singapore. Will update once we have the latest information.<\/p>\n
Press Release<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nXiaomi announces Redmi Pro and enters laptop market with Mi Notebook Air<\/h2>\n
With flagship-grade features, Redmi Pro takes the Redmi product line to a new level<\/em><\/p>\nBEIJING, 27 July 2016 \u2014 Leading smartphone company Xiaomi unveiled Redmi Pro today, a\u00a0smartphone with many firsts that redefines the Redmi product line. At the same time, it also\u00a0announced that it is entering the laptop market with Mi Notebook Air, a high-performance\u00a0lightweight notebook set to disrupt the industry.<\/p>\n
Xiaomi has sold 110 million Redmi phones across the world in three years, equivalent to 1.2\u00a0units sold every second. Redmi Pro, priced from RMB 1499, is Xiaomi’s first smartphone
\nfeaturing dual rear cameras and an OLED display. Equipped with a flagship-grade Helio X25\u00a0processor and a beautiful brushed metal body, Redmi Pro introduces a new higher-end\u00a0category to the Redmi series that is already widely recognised for its high-quality, reliable\u00a0phones.<\/p>\n
Mi Notebook Air comes in two sizes \u2014 13.3 inches and 12.5 inches \u2014 priced at RMB 4999 and\u00a0RMB 3499 respectively.<\/p>\n
Redmi Pro: First dual-camera, OLED Xiaomi phone<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nRedmi Pro is the first smartphone from Xiaomi to come with dual rear cameras. The main\u00a0camera uses a 13-megapixel Sony IMX258 sensor, and is supported by a secondary rear\u00a0camera with a 5-megapixel Samsung sensor.<\/p>\n
The dual cameras on Redmi Pro shoot simultaneously and apply hardware-level depth of field\u00a0processing to create a dynamic and beautiful blurred background, or bokeh, effect commonly\u00a0found in photos taken on a DSLR. The two cameras on Redmi Pro work together in real time to\u00a0calculate the distance of objects in the scene, giving users the ability to select the focus point in\u00a0photos after a shot is taken, unlike traditional dual-camera systems that typically do so via\u00a0software.<\/p>\n
Another first for a Xiaomi smartphone is the use of an OLED display on Redmi Pro. The 5.5-inch\u00a0full-HD OLED display has a contrast ratio of 60,000:1, and can display 100% of the NTSC\u00a0colour gamut, resulting in extremely vibrant colours that give users a great viewing and gaming\u00a0experience.<\/p>\n
In addition, Redmi Pro is equipped with the high-performance MediaTek Helio X25 processor\u00a0(the base model comes with Helio X20). With 10 CPU cores that are divided into three clusters,\u00a0Helio X25 is more efficient at allocating processing power and optimising battery performance.<\/p>\n
The Mali-T880 GPU found in the Helio X25 processor offers improved graphics performance\u00a0that is 180% more powerful than the previous generation, with a corresponding 40% drop in\u00a0power consumption.<\/p>\n
