Xiaomi first Rugged Smartphone: Water, dusk and shock resistant!

According to the latest announcement, Xiaomi’s first rugged device is resistant to water, dust, and shock thanks to a high durability frame. Previously, Xiaomi stated that launching a rugged smartphone means increasing the price of manufacturing. For Xiaomi’s popularity, one of the most critical factors is the price. This means customers can get Xiaomi phones relatively cheaper with the average performance. So once the performance gets higher, the cost becomes higher as well.

In the meantime, smartphone manufacturers including Apple, Samsung, Motorola, and Sony already have launched some smartphones with IP certification. But Xiaomi’s top-rated flagships like Xiaomi Mi 6 and Mi Mix 2 doesn’t have that feature. According to our source, the first Xiaomi handset that is going to sport rugged phone features is the Xiaomi Mi 7. The phone is expected to be announced during the first half of 2018.

Notedly, Xiaomi Mi 7 specs come with a 6.01-inch OLED display (1080 x 1920 pixels) and 18:9 of aspect ratio. Additionally, Xiaomi Mi 7 probably runs on the powerful Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset and has 6GB RAM. Furthermore, this Xiaomi handset offers three ROM variants: 64GB/128GB/256GB (non-expandable). Regarding the photography, Xiaomi M7 camera system features a 16MP dual-camera and a 13MP selfies camera. The Xiaomi handset packs a massive 3500 mAh battery capacity.
