New rumors suggest that the giant of Chinese origin would want to follow Apple's game by launching a terminal that follows the same line as the iPhone SE, a small size with the technology of its most advanced model.
It is neither the first nor the last time that Xiaomi's strategy coincides in a suspicious way with Apple's, and it is that no matter how much love it has for this company (Xiaomi products love it), the truth is as it is, and Xiaomi has blatantly copied going so far as to use icons owned by Apple on its own website, if you don't believe me here are 7 proofs.
This time it was not going to be less, and although it seemed that Xiaomi had distanced itself a bit from Apple with the design of its Mi5 (which personally reminds me more of Sony's Xperia than the iPhone), it seems that it is back to its old ways .
The rumor leaked by IT Home says that Xiaomi will recover a smartphone model presented in 2012, on Wed 2, and it will equip it with an interior at the height of its flagship, the Mi 5, in this way we would have a terminal with the following characteristics:
- Screen of 4'3 inches
- Decision HD 720p
- 3GB of RAM
- 32GB ROM
- SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 820
- 13MP camera
- 2350mAh battery
And that's not all, the new Xiaomi Mi 2SE it would have a design more similar to that of the Mi 5 than the original Mi 2, something positive since that smartphone was too thick and made of plastic.
The most surprising thing about this terminal would perhaps be the price, and we can think that a terminal of these characteristics (which on paper should obtain better performance than the Mi 5 by sharing SoC and moving a much lower resolution) would amount to the € 500 more or less, but the Xiaomi Mi 5 is already worth € 480 approximately, so it seems that the company plans to present it soon and launch it in June at a price of what would be € 246, At least if it were sold in Spain, unfortunately everything seems to indicate that it will not be the case, and that if we want to access it we will have to go to a store such as GearBest or iGoGo to buy it days later than its sale in China and at a price that will surely touch the € 300.
Still worth € 300 imported from China, if Xiaomi launches and makes this rumor a reality, the iPhone SE could have a very tough competitor In the country where it is reaping so much success with the reserves, and it is not for less, a terminal with those characteristics, with Xiaomi quality and the good optimization that they do on their devices, we would be talking about a full-blown bargain , a super high-end for those looking for screens of "reduced size" and do not mind the battle for the largest number of pixels.
All said, we want to know your opinionDo you consider that Xiaomi may be preparing a Mi 2SE? Do you think that if it came true, it would be a tough competitor to the iPhone SE? Time will prove whoever takes it right.
