At an event in China, Xiaomi has unveiled a new in-display fingerprint scanner variant of its flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi 8. You might be wondering by now isn’t Xiaomi selling already one variant of Mi 8 with an in-display fingerprint scanner? Well, the company has the Mi 8 Explorer Edition, but it also comes with a transparent back and is pricier than the newly launched Mi 8 Screen Fingerprint Edition. This new variant of the Mi 8 also features slight design changes especially on the back which has a glossy look with gradient finish to take on the likes of Oppo R17 and R17 Pro. Furthermore, the new variant features a better in-display scanner as it’s rated to unlock the device 29% faster than the Mi 8 Explorer Edition.
