The other rumored models of the Mi Play are 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. The handset is expected to arrive in colors like Black, Dawn Gold and Dream Blue.
Xiaomi is known for using charming pricing i.e. using 9, 99 or 999 at the end of the price tags for the products it sells. However, in the leaked screenshot, instead of mentioning the price of the Xiaomi Mi Play as 1,199 Yuan, it is written as 1,200 Yuan. Hence, the screenshot does not appear authentic.
The Xiaomi Mi Play will be the first Xiaomi phone with waterdrop notch screen. It is speculated that the same phone may debut in India as Redmi 7 Pro. The TENAA listing of the phone reveled that it is fueled by 2.3 GHz octa-core processor.
