There is the Nighthawk AX1800 and AX6000, each of which is designed for a different use case. As their moniker might suggest, the AX6000 is the higher-end model and so it specced as such. It supports 8-streams with speeds up to 6Gbps and is targeted for big roomy spaces with up to 6 bedrooms.

Xiaomi 12 Mini images leaked, plausible design of Xiaomis next mini flagship smartphone

Xiaomi has time and time again launched some pretty compact smartphones, but if leaks are to be believed, the new Xiaomi 12 Mini indicates that the company’s next mini flagship smartphone may be much smaller. Xiaomi is already knee-deep in the development of this mini flagship device and as per the leak, the company has reportedly finalized the design for the handset which will be launched under the 12 series.

— Sam (@Shadow_Leak) January 31, 2022 Xiaomi 12 Mini: Speculated Size and Features

Xiaomi 12 Mini is speculated to have a 5.9-inch display which is as small as the ASUS ZenFone 8. The Mini entry in the Xiaomi 12 series could still feature three rear-facing cameras, including a much larger bottom lens though if the rumour is to be believed.

There had been rumours of a plausible release of the Xiaomi mini last year, but Xiaomi released the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X instead which are currently available only in China. Both the Xiaomi 12 and 12X have 6.28-inch screens, which is still relatively large when compared to other small smartphones by other brands available in the market.

As of now the ZenFone 8 is one of the most compact Android smartphones, even though it's relatively much bigger than iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 13 mini. With few to no details about the alleged Xiaomi 12 Mini, we suggest you take this information with a pinch of salt and wait for the company to reveal more information in the coming days.

And we are expecting the launch of at least two phones viz. the Realme 9 Pro and the Realme 9 Pro+. The company has also created a dedicated event page to tease the key features of the top-end model.

Realme 9 Pro+: Here’s What to Expect

Let’s begin with the design. Realme 9 Pro+ flaunts a Chameleon-Esque Light Shift Design. Well, this sounds similar to the Vivo V23 Pro, which was yet another colour-changing phone that had launched a month back. Realme says on the Sunrise Blue variant of both the Pro models, the blue colour would shift to red whence exposed to even 5 seconds of direct sunlight or ultraviolet light. And yeah, this is limited to just this colour, not the other Green variant shown in the posters.

The company also sheds some light on this light effect. It has apparently done more than 200 trials and errors before getting the right mix of materials and paint viscosity that would let the quick change in colours over time. It says the dual-layer photochromic process would add an organic composite layer for a 40% faster colour shift.

Besides the aesthetics, the Realme 9 Pro+ is also confirmed to bear a Dimensity 920 5G processor and a Sony IMX766 OIS camera. Realme brags this as the first and only phone in the segment with both this sensor and the optical image stabilization facility. It details the 1/1.56-inch sensor will let in about 63.8% more light. And besides these, the microsite also reveals other abilities of this camera setup like AI Noise Reduction 3.0 and Street Photography 2.0.

Realme 9 Pro +  Features and Specs

Coming back to that processor, it is a 6 nm-based octa-core chipset comprising of two ARM Cortex-A78 running at 2.5GHz and six ARM Cortex-A55 clocked at 2.0GHz speeds. This also employs the Mali-68 GPU for graphics processing. 

Now other than this, thanks to leaks, we also know the Realme 9 Pro Plus can feature a Super AMOLED 90Hz display with an in-screen fingerprint scanner, 60W SuperDart charging, and NFC. We will share more details about the device with you as we have them. Well, we are just days away from the launch date. So, you may as well mark calendars and set reminders for the event.
