The global technology giant, Xiaomi, open its first Mi Store in Murmansk, a large city located within the Arctic Circle.

Moreover, the store is located in Murmansk Mall. The establishment become one of the most loved shopping venues among local residents. The large 80 square-meter Mi Store gives Xiaomi’s latest lineup of smartphones, AIoTs, and other Xiaomi products.

In addition, under the PPP or Preferred Partner Program, the newly open Mi Store in Murmansk joins a fleet of 151 official points of sale in Russia.

“We are so excited and thankful to our partner for an amazing opportunity to make this dramatic northbound move Xaiomi’s chain of offline stores in Russia now covers 10 time zones, and my heart fills with happiness when I see more and more Mi Fans and consumers get closer to innovations we Provide” said by Yu Man, head of Russia and CIS, Xiaomi.

However, we can see that the geographical location of Murmansk is kind of difficult. The location is proximity to the Barents Sea and the warm air masses delivered by the ocean currents. These circumstances create a mild climate and shape up the world’s northernmost seaport. In addition, the population of Murmansk is approximately 230,000 as of 2020. Which for us is very low compare to Manila, Quezon City, and other cities located in NCR.

On the other hand, based on the latest survey made by Online Market Intelligence, Xiaomi ranks at 7th place on the list for Russia’s Most Loved Brands. This is a huge milestone, although, they placed 8th place last year.

Above all, we are happy to hear that Xiaomi is taking Samsung and Apple in Arctic Circle by placing a Mi Store in there.

Mi 10T Pro Review – You Should Have Waited for this One!

Posted on by admin

Xiaomi is probably down to its last card for the Mi Series this 2020, launching the Mi 10T series and we got ourselves the Mi 10T Pro with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage which is the most premium of this series. The main highlight of this phone is definitely the Snapdragon 865 chip as well as its 144Hz of screen refresh rate which is candy to the eye for most gamers out there. Let us check out if this phone really is worth the hype.

Design

The Mi 10T Pro did took a little stepback in terms of design for me, I was quite a bit accustomed to the curved display for flagship level phones. But this one went back to IPS LCD and a flat display. This is not really that bad when you take a look at it and using for more than a week now, I tried to compare it with my Mi 10 Ultra for a fair comparison, since they belong to the Mi 10 family. But after staring at both phones for a while, I tend to say not bad, the IPS LCD is compensated by the 144Hz screen refresh rate and probably Xiaomi used good quality IPS LCD on this one thats why you cant really say the difference is that far between this one and the Super Amoled in the Mi 10 Ultra.

Processor

The Snapdragon 865 definitely is a chip to beat this year, the best among the rest for year 2020 (probably a little lower thank the SD865+). This chip scored a 585k points on Antutu benchmark which is at par with the Mi 10 series. Multitasking was definitely a breeze on this one.

Gaming

I can say that after testing NBA 2k20, Hungry Shark, PUBG, Mobile Legends and Call of Duty, these games did performed without a hitch. I didnt even feel framedrops while playing the Call of Duty. The cooling system is quite okay on this one, the hottest it got was 41 Celcisus which is after playing Call of Duty for 2 hours.

Camera

My favorite topic, this phone had a 108MP Triple camera, and yes its triple camera. Taking shots outdoors are great, but I cant really say the same indoors as its sometimes a little grainy, but give proper lights indoors, it can also perform. 

Verdict

I believe this phone is something worth your money, tho there were some major cutback on specs, but overall I can live without them after using for several days. Gone were wireless charging and the the Super Amoled display.

Xiaomi announced 80W wireless charging

Posted on by Tom

Yesterday, October 18, 2020, Xiaomi announced 80W wireless charging. In other words, Xiaomi will pioneer this new wireless charging technology. And this move may put them in a position to get ahead of everyone. Moreover, this is an upgrade from their 30W wireless charging speed, which they introduced last year.

According to Xiaomi’s claim, the 80W Mi Wireless Charging Technology is capable of charging a 4000 mAh battery from 0% to 10% in 1 minute, 50% in 8 minutes, and 100% in just 19 minutes. To compare last year’s 30W wireless charging, the technology can charge a 0% battery to 100% in 1 hour and 9 minutes.

In addition, we may expect another group of people to contradict or to go against this technology due to its radiation. Which for us, it is justifiable that there might be some health risks when performing this technology.

To add, Xiaomi introduced Mi 10 Ultra last August. Mi 10 Ultra became the world’s first smartphone to be equipped with 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

Above all, this announcement made us suspect that the next flagship phone may support a 80W Mi Wireless Charging.
