It’s been over a year since the last Xiaomi tablet, so hints of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 are in just in time. News brought out that the device would come with a Snapdragon 660 and 18:9 display. Keep reading for more details!

Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 reveal to have Snapdragon 660 and 18:9 display.

Regarding the details of this new tablet, we got hold of a few firmware info that shed some light on it. According to the files, the Xiaomi Mi Tab 4 specs could have an 8-inch display and 18:9 aspect ratio with possible 1536 x 2048 pixels resolution. To be specific, the boolean data in the MIUI configuration file “is_18x9_ratio_screen” is set to “true”. Thus, confirming the specs indirectly. Moreover, the Mi Pad 4 will run on the Snapdragon 660 chipset, same as the recently launched Mi 6X.

The maximum CPU frequency in MIUI’s configuration file is 2.0GHz for the big cluster, which hints at the Snapdragon 660 rather than the Snapdragon 636 which the Redmi Note 5 Pro has. There is no information on the RAM and storage options yet. But it is possible the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 could have 4GB of RAM and 64GB onboard storage. This particular configuration is extremely common among budget devices.

Optics-wise, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 camera will feature one camera on the front and back. The rear cam will be a 13MP OmniVision OV13855 sensor with a f/2.0 aperture. Up-front, there will be a 5MP Samsung S5K5E8 sensor with a f/2.0 aperture. Tablets are rarely judged for their camera capabilities because it tends to be the least used function on a large-sized device. However, an excellent front-facing camera is ideal for video calls. Lastly, we expect the Mi Pad 4 to draw a massive 7,000mAh power box and Android Oreo, like other previous tablets from Xiaomi.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 release date and price

With no word from TENAA, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 release date is still not clear. As for the cost, we think Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 price would be somewhere between Rs 15,000 to Rs 17,000.

Oh no! It looks like one of Nokia businesses is not going well. News brought out that the company is selling the Digital Health business to the original owner. Keep scrolling for more details!

Nokia to sell its Digital Health business to the original owner

Not long ago, Nokia has announced plans to sell its failing health tech line back to Éric Carreel, co-founder of Withings. Previously, the company bought this French startup in 2016. Terms and conditions of the deal have not been public, but the company is surely taking an abundant loss on the sale. To be more specific, Nokia bought Withings two years ago for $191 million, before rebranding the startup’s products. That includes a smart scale, and various fitness tracker watches as part of Nokia new “Digital Health” business in 2017.

However, the rebadged Withings products apparently weren’t making enough profit for the Finnish giant. In October 2017, the company published a write-down of $164 million on the assets. Then came the launch of a strategic review of the division (February 2018) with an internal memo showing that execs thought there was “no path” for the line to become “a meaningful part” of Nokia. All this devasting news happened in the company’s first-quarter earnings this year.

Besides, the Digital Health business brought in just $20 million in revenue, compared to net sales of $5.9 billion for the rest of Nokia. As the company noted in a press conference, selling Digital Health back to Carreel fits Nokia’s new motto: becoming primarily a business-to-business/licensing company. That also means getting out of any consumer markets while concentrating on selling telecommunication hardware; as well as authorizing its broad franchises.

Nokia’s Digital Health business to come to an end

Nokia says the sale is expected to complete by the end of the second quarter this year, while the future of the Withings brand is unknown.
