Yesterday, Xiaomi presented the new Xiaomi Mi Play, a new “entry level” that aims to offer good performance at a decidedly low price (in China, the smartphone costs less than 150 Euros at the current exchange rate). At the base of the project is the new SoC MediaTek P35, a 12 nm chipset with Octa-Core CPU that debuts with the new Xiaomi smartphone.
In the first benchmarks, the new Xiaomi Mi Play showcases discrete performance. On AnTuTu, the new MediaTek P35 pushes Xiaomi’s smartphone up to 86,000 points. This is a better result than that obtained from smartphones with SoC Snapdragon 625 (like the Mi A2 Lite and the Redmi 5 Plus) but much lower than the results of devices with Snapdragon 630 or Snapdragon 636.
The new MediaTek P35 of Xiaomi Mi Play aims, therefore, to be an ideal solution for the low-end market where all the main entry levels are placed. Recall that the datasheet of the smartphone includes a 5.84-inch display with drop notch and Full HD + resolution, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal storage, 3,000 mAh battery and dual rear camera with 12 and 5 Megapixel sensors.
Recall that for now, Xiaomi has not released any information about possible European marketing of its new Mi Play.
