Xiaomi to Launch Mi Max, MIUI 8 on May 10

New Delhi: Xiaomi has announced that it will launch the Mi Max and MIUI 8 at an event on May 10 in Beijing. While the company has not given any details about the Mi Max device, we presume it to be a phablet. As the name suggests, the device will mark the beginning of a new Xiaomi series.

There is very little that we know right now about the device, but speculations are rife that the Max will come with a humongous 6.4-inch display, 16 megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel front camera.

Also, according to a teaser image posted on the MIUI forum, the Max would easily fit in the pocket of your jeans.

MIUI 8, on the other hand, is Xiaomi's next-gen Android-based operating system. The company is yet to announce as to what all features will be part of MIUI 8, but it has given a sneak peek into MIUI 8's new notification shade.

Besides the Mi Max and MIUI 8, Xiaomi has other announcements also lined up for the event. "This 2016 Mi Product launch will feature Mi Max, MIUI 8 and other exciting announcements! Happening on 10 May, we're inviting Mi fans all over the world to be a part of this!," says Xiaomi in a post.
