If rumors are to be believed, you can expect the integration of an in-display fingerprint sensor on the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 7. Previously, Vivo had launched a similar smartphone at the recently concluded MWC 2018 with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

There are reports that Xiaomi MI 7 will not feature any bezels or notch on the top side. The sensors will be allocated inside the invisible positions. The reason for the delay in the launch of MI 7 is mainly attributed to the addition of these features.

The inclusion of an in-display fingerprint sensor has been confirmed by the Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun as a comment inside the MIUI Source code branch. When a user posted a comment by stating that the handset will have an in-display fingerprint sensor, Jun replied back indirectly. based on the nature of the conversation, we infer the integration of an in-display fingerprint sensor.

In addition to the rumored in-display fingerprint sensor, the Xiaomi Mi 7 will also feature a notch on the front side of the display. the notch will be identical to that of the iPhone X, Vivo V9 and will accommodate front camera and sensors. Under the hood, the Mi 7 will feature 8GB RAM paired with Snapdragon 845 processor. The handset will be available in both 128GB and 256GB expandable storage variants.
