During this year Xiaomi will celebrate its 8 birthday. That's why probably company won't release Xiaomi Mi 7, and Xiaomi Mi 6's successor will be named Xiaomi Mi 8. Another reason may be a certain detail related to the culture of China, because number 8 is considered as a lucky number in this country. According to the newest rumors Xiaomi will officially present Xiaomi Mi 8 on 23rd of May and this smartphone probably will be one of the first devices on market with innovative in-display fingerprint scanner.
This solution is also developed by other phone manufacturers such as Samsung and Apple, and in the nearest future both companies will want to add this feature to their devices. Xiaomi Mi 8 apart from fingerprint scanner probably will have 5,65-inch display with 2160x1080px resolution and notch on the top of screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 8GB of RAM, 8mpx front camera, dual camera on back with two 16mpx sensors, 128GB of internal storage plus capacious 4000mAh battery which will support wireless charging option. Obviously as other Xiaomi's phones Mi 8 will work on Android with MIUI interface.
