Would love to see a S21 Ultra Zoom next year
Most likely. Probably just focusing on the camera before caring about the aesthetics and all other stuff
tbh this looks like shit
First Europe, then the world!
And they still can’t release miui on all devices smh
You are giving engineers way too much credit here.
Really interesting
That’s the idea.
How would they even call that position? Something ridiculous like ‘software engineer’?
this is a chinese company. they’re throwing *engineers* at the wall to see what sticks.
Out of 5000 engineers, one of them has to be good at something, right? Like throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks.
Back to good ol’ war days.
Will we see a new Mi Store in London and in many other European Capitals then ?
Back to good ol’ war days.
Android started as camera software. Now it comes where it all started
The phrasing tho.
Xiaomi: Hahaha, no.
It looks like the back of that phone is 3d printed, Very early prototype?
Oh ok, basically a miniature version of the [Sony Cybershot DSC-P](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Sony+Cybershot+DSC-P&t=h_&iax=images&ia=images) range of cameras. That’s not new, its just smaller. All this announcement will do will start the race for the other manufacturers to do the same.
This reads like a declaration of war
I think they’d do better with less engineers and more infantry.
walked in to the Mi Store in rotterdam the other day, looked pretty cool. employees didn’t know too much though, they just got the basic talk about xiaomi. although it was the opening day so that might’ve played a part. they also weren’t able to sell electric scooters or show their downstairs room because of covid-19, I’ll definitely go by again sometime the stores open properly
Reminds me of the good old galaxy s4 zoom
Anyways, 2mp depth sensor will be added
X doubt
I hope at least some of those engineers will work on MIUI
Wow, I was just about to talk about this over multiple cameras!
What will 5,000 engineers do though? That number seems so high for a company that cannot deliver updates regularly.
Engineers working on software? Sounds about right…
> samsung’s 2013 innovations was a laughing stock
There’s a good reason for that. S4 Zoom was a much worse phone compared to the s4 for a slightly better camera. It was camera with a phone inside. And the phone inside was really really bad.
I’ll rather xiaomi have a better software experience.
Not to mention the 2MP macro camera
So.. Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom / Galaxy K Zoom? Its funny to see how samsung’s 2013 innovations was a laughing stock back then while its the direction where we are heading towards currently..
