Xiaomi Mi 8 Confirmed to Launch on May 31, Passes FCC Certification

Xiaomi has finally confirmed that it’s going to launch its Eight Anniversary smartphone on May 31 in China. The smartphone’s name has been changed from Xiaomi Mi 7 to Xiaomi Mi 8 to mark the 8th anniversary of the company. Now, ahead of the launch two versions of the phone were spotted on China’s 3C certification website and as well as FCC in the US. The listing doesn’t give away too much information about the smartphone apart from the model numbers of the device. Apparently, the Xiaomi Mi 8 will come in two variants. One device with model number M1805E2A and other with model number M1803E1A. The listing also reveals both the models of Mi 8 will come with MDY-08-ES power adapter and 5V3A / 9V2A / 12V1.5A charging support with up to 20W charging output. The FCC report is even less helpful for providing information regarding the key specs of the phone, so we still have to rely on rumours exclusively.

Just yesterday, a short hands-on clip of the alleged Mi 8 was leaked online. The video clip shows a phone being unlocked by placing the thumb on the display, revealing a home screen full of MIUI icons.

The under display fingerprint scanner appears to be as fast as the physical one, unlocking the smartphone in fraction of a second. Also, the lock screen on the phone was dated May 18, which shows it is a recent development. Xiaomi is expected to debut facial recognition and in-display fingerprint scanner on a single Mi 8 device.
