Xiaomi Mi Reader With 6-Inch HD E-Ink Display, USB Type-C Port Launched to Take on Amazon's Kindle
After teasing the launch of an ebook reader a few days ago, Xiaomi has finally launched the Mi Reader. The device looks a lot like Amazon's Kindle and features an HD e-ink display that supports 24 brightness settings and allows for uniform brightness coverage of up to 90 percent. Mi Reader is powered by a quad-core processor, supports a wide range of file formats and runs a custom skin based on Android 8.1 Oreo. Interestingly, the Mi Reader features a USB Type-C port and packs a 1,800mAh battery.
Xiaomi Mi Reader price
Mi Reader is priced at CNY 579 (roughly Rs. 5,900) for early birds who support the crowdfunding process starting on Wednesday, November 20. Once the crowdfunding goal is achieved, the Mi Reader's price will be hiked to CNY 599 (roughly Rs. 6,100). However, the company is yet to reveal when the Mi Reader will go on open sale, and if it will make it to international markets, including India. Shipments of the Mi Reader in China will begin starting December 18.
