Xiaomi Unveils a Cheaper Mi 6X for its 8th Anniversary

HANDSETS

Xiaomi lowered the price of Mi 6X’s 32 GB even further, to celebrate its 8th Anniversary.

Xiaomi’s Mi 8 SE is a Mini Flagship with Hardware Level AI

Mi 6X – the MIUI/China-only version of the Mi A2 – is getting a more affordable version. The original Mi 6X was launched last month with 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM at a cost of CNY 1600 (Rs. 29,000).

Xiaomi has now unveiled a new model, the 32 GB version, that initially cost CNY 1500. But as part of the company’s 8th Anniversary celebrations, Xiaomi has lowered the price even further, which means that the 4/32 GB version of the Mi 6X will be available for purchase at CNY 1400 (~Rs. 23,000).

Here is an official promotional poster,

Best Price For a Mid-ranger?

The best part? Rest of the hardware stays the same so you can expect great performance and camera features in a relatively cheaper mid-ranger. The Mi 6X falls in the upper mid-range category, it runs the Snapdragon 660, has impressive dual cameras, AI-powered photography, and a gigantic FHD+ display with trimmed bezels.

One problem though, there’s no microSD slot so you should consider this before going for the 32 GB version. Now we don’t know if Mi A2, Mi 6X’s Android One version for the international market, will get this new variant and price offer.

Mi A2 still has not been launched in Pakistan, but do note that Mi A1’s 32 GB version costs just Rs. 22,000 so its successor’s 32 GB model might also get priced close to it in the future.

Anyway, if you live in China you can still reserve a Mi 6X unit for you by clicking this link. The website, for some reason, still shows as CNY 1500.

This startup is pairing the blockchain with farming

Ripe, a blockchain startup, is showcasing how the distributed ledger technology can be applied to farming and provide companies with important data on crops and throughout the supply chain. By combining a blockchain with purpose-built scanners and specialized sensors, the company is able to provide critical data that is easily communicated to partners, demonstrating why blockchain is growing more popular as a tool to be leveraged as part of an IoT solution. Blockchain is a key tool for the IoT because of how it combines data storage and communication in a trusted medium. A blockchain is a shared, distributed database that acts as an immutable ledger, recording entries and verifying them across a number of independent participants. Once an entry is made, it’s marked with a unique hash code that places it sequentially in the ledger. In agriculture, this means that farmers can use sensors and handheld devices to gather data about crops like tomatoes...
