Una don hear wetin happen for tech world as Xiaomi waka come drop dem new prototype wey dem call Xiaomi 17 Air. Dis phone na bean just dey 5.5mm thick, e thin pass even iPhone Air wey sabi rock! But wetin happen? Na the same story of ‘too slim, no power’ wey dey repeat for this phone saga.
Leak wey show as the phone go suppose dey, na two rear cameras dey the back, so you fit snap better pictures. Seriously, in this phone dey for slim category, dem dey try push am as the next big thing. E get 6.59 inches display wey go catch your eye, but the question be say, wetin go happen when you need better battery life?
So, the gist come say, as Apple and Samsung dey do dem own slim phones and e no quite work as dem expect. Xiaomi also change dem mind o! Dem say no want enter market wey spoilt things for dem. This phone no go even collect daylight, e just dey remain for dreamland.
Pipol don share video of dis Xiaomi 17 Air wey show how e go look, but since dem don cancel am, na only prototypes wey go dey exist. The big question wey dey for many mouths be, why slim dey more important pass good battery life? Look as technology dey move forward!
Wetin we sabi be say, battery technology still dey lag behind, and if your phone get camera and battery, na where we go see problem. Xiaomi supposed get better juice to compete, but as e be, we dey fall back to life wey dey sell based on performance. Slim no dey meet demand wetin people wan, e be as e be.
For now, everybody dey wait make dem change the narrative. Maybe one day, Xiaomi go wake come back with another slim phone wey fit fit the market, but for now, na dis Xiaomi 17 Air na only for show. E fit nice, but am be like bicycle wey no get wheel—no go carry you anywhere!
