Xiaomi Mi 7 to Come With Advanced Face Recognition Technology and iPhone X-Like Animoji Feature

Xiaomi is not launching the Mi 7 flagship smartphone at the MWC 2018 next week, due to some unknown reasons. But a new report says that the launch of the Mi 7 is delayed because Xiaomi is procuring the additional sensors and is looking to add advanced Facial Recognition technology like the Apple iPhone X. A report from iFeng stated that Xiaomi might even add animated emojis feature to the Mi 7, like the Animoji feature on the iPhone X. In the past, it was rumoured that the Mi 7 would come with support for Facial Recognition, but back then it was said that it would rely on software, rather than hardware.

But as per the new report, Xiaomi is looking to go head on head with Apple in the Face Recognition technology. Xiaomi is also said to be working closely with a few OEMs in its homeland China for the best possible Facial Recognition technology. The Apple iPhone X brought the craze for this Face ID feature, and already several manufacturers have added Face Unlock feature to their smartphones, but a software-based one.

Nevertheless, Xiaomi is looking to bet Apple with hardware-based Facial Recognition technology. Alongside Xiaomi, Oppo is also allegedly working the same OEMs for the same technology. This could be the reason behind Mi 7’s delay in launch. It is now expected to come out in April, which is just a month and a half away. For the unaware, Xiaomi announced the Mi 6 flagship smartphone in China back in April 2017 itself.
