This is a breakthrough. Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 – the world’s first smartphone with a lens lens
Last year, rumors attributed the so-called “liquid lens” to the flagship Huawei Mate 40, the system of which was not particularly disclosed. But in the end, the Mate 40 is equipped with the most common lenses, and the first mainstream smartphone with a “liquid lens” will be the Mi Mix 4, which debuts on March 29th. Xiaomi has already confirmed this feature of the camera and even demonstrated its work in a teaser video.
In the description of the system, a parallel is given with the lens of the human eye, which, with the help of the muscles located around it, changes its shape and provides accommodation – it allows you to see objects well at different distances. Roughly the same is implemented in the Mi Mix 4 camera, only instead of the lens – a special liquid under a special film. The advantages of the lens-lens Xiaomi refers to faster focusing in comparison with a conventional mechanical system, compactness and dual purpose – tele and macro. In general, there are enough advantages, but such a system is clearly not cheap. However, the Mi Mix 4 itself is by no means a cheap smartphone.
In an interview that the head of Xiaomi Lei Zun (Lai Jun) gave just the other day, a top manager said that the price of Mi Mix 4 will be 10,000 yuan (approximately $ 1,500). If you remember, Mi Mix Alpha with a wraparound screen was even more expensive, but it was never launched into truly mass production, but was produced only in small batches. The Mi Mix 4 is a completely different matter. This smartphone will be sold not only in China, but also, like its predecessors, in the global market too, but here there are completely different conditions and different competition. So $ 1,500 is a serious bid. However, Lei Zun immediately made a reservation that in this case, too, the company has no desire to make money from users – this is the price for the technologies implemented in the smartphone. And among them, in addition to the lens-lens itself, there is also a flexible screen and very fast charging. In short, Mi Mix 4 will embody the pinnacle of modern technologies, ready for mass use, and therefore it will not be cheap.

Almost everything is the same, but with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Features of Asus ROG Phone 7 gaming smartphones revealed
Asus has already revealed the launch date of its new gaming smartphones: the ROG Phone 7 line will be presented on April 13th. But now we know all their main characteristics.
A well-known insider Digital Chat Station claims that the novelty will receive a Snapdargon 8 Gen 2 SoC, a 6.78-inch 165-Hz screen, LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0 memory, a set of cameras with sensors with a resolution of 50, 13 and 5 MP and a battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh with 65 watt charger.
Judging by the current line of Asus gaming smartphones, these parameters will be valid for both ROG Phone 7 and 7 Pro. Also, there may be a version on SoC Dimensity, but there is no data yet.
From the rest, we can note protection against moisture (IP54) and a weight of less than 240 g. In general, we see that the new models will be technically very similar to the current generation. But we do know that Qualcomm’s new flagship SoC performed very well in games.
Digital Chat Station was previously the first to accurately announce the specifications and release dates of Redmi K30, K40, Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 11.

Will this Xiaomi smartphone be much more expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro Max? Flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra expected in April
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphone may appear earlier than thought. According to fresh data, the flagship will go on sale in April, while previously there were rumors of a launch in May.
It is not yet clear what kind of launch we are talking about: Chinese or global. It is logical to expect the start of sales in China first, and sometime later in Europe. At the same time, the company has already stated that Xiaomi 13 Ultra, unlike Xiaomi 12S Ultra, will enter the global market.
However, in this case, the issue of price will be very important, because even Xiaomi 13 Pro in Europe starts from 1300 euros, which was previously unbelievable for the company.
As for the characteristics, the device is now credited with a Samsung E6 screen with a resolution of 2K, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 90-watt charging, an inch sensor for the main camera and two Sony IMX858 sensors for TV cameras.
The information was shared by insider Wisdom Pikachu, who last year provided details about the Redmi K60 and Xiaomi Pad 6, and recently was the first to provide exclusive details about the new Redmi Note 13 and Xiaomi Civi 3 smartphones.
