Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer new version with smaller notch

As you may know, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer is the premium phone in the series. With its attractive translucent back, the flagship also comes with a 3D face scanner and an under display fingerprint reader. However, TENAA reveals that there may be a more affordable version in the works. Though TENAA had not posted the photos at that point, they certainly add a new dimension to the rumours.

According to what we witnessed, the design looks similar, but the notch on the front is noticeably narrower. Besides, the selfie camera is right next to the earpiece. Meanwhile, chances are the 3D face scanner is gone, as well as the IR face recognition system of the base Mi 8. However, since there is no rear-mounted fingerprint reader, we can assume that is still under the display. Also, we could not even see the headphone jack, too.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer new version specs include three RAM configurations: 4GB, and 8GB, paired with 64GB and 256GB storage respectively. This differs from the warehouse and RAM figures of Mi 8 EE (6GB RAM/128GB ROM). Meanwhile, the screen seems to be the same at 6.21” AMOLED with 1080p+. Besides, the chipset (Snapdragon 845) and the camera (back: dual 12MP, front: single 20MP) may not experience any changes. Moreover, the battery is a 2,900mAh pack compared to the Mi 8 Explorer’s 3,000mAh cell. Also, it suggests that the device lacks advanced facial recognition tech.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer new version release date and price

We can expect the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer new version price to be between the Mi 8 Explorer ($530) and the regular Mi 8 ($395). Let’s see when we meet the new version in the next quarter. Meanwhile, let us know with your ideas below and stay tuned!

Bad news for Indian iPhone fans! There is a high chance that Apple iPhones could get banned in the country in the near future. What is the reason behind this rumour? Read on to find out!

Apple iPhones could get banned in India, what is the reason behind?!

For a long time, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and Apple have been having an issue over their Do-not-Disturb app. In details, the telecom regulator has prescribed for all smartphone in the country. Until now, Google has already made the application available on their Google Play. However, Apple has not yet consented to add the app on the iOS App Store. Furthermore, the US manufacturer cites a possible breach of user privacy.

Today, TRAI is seeking that all the telecom networks de-register iPhones from their respective channels. According to them, this is a penalty for not making the DND app available on the device. Meanwhile, the Indian Cellular Association has denied TRAI’s demands. Besides, they stated that the telecom regulator does not have control over device manufacturers. Moreover, they should not allow “Access Providers” to control devices or customers who possess such devices.

“Every Access Provider shall ensure, within six months’ time, that all smartphone devices registered on its network support the permissions required for the functioning of such Apps as prescribed in the regulations 6(2)(e) and regulations 23(2)(d). Provided that where such devices do not permit functioning of such Apps as prescribed in regulations 6(2)(e) and regulations 23(2)(d), access providers shall, on the order or direction of the authority, derecognise such devices from their telecom networks,” explains TRAI’s directive. “Access Providers” includes the Basic Telephone Service Provider, Cellular Mobile Telephone Service Provider, Unified Access Service Provider, Universal Access Service Provider and Virtual Network Operator (VNO) as defined in the respective licenses issued by Department of Telecommunications (DoT).

Should Apple follow TRAI’s statement?

Last week, TRAI recommended stricter rules on privacy, security and ownership of data in the telecom space. Apple, however, has their reason for refusing TRAI’s order. Do you think Apple should follow Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s requirement? Drop a comment to let us know what you think!
