How It Could Help Xiaomi Devices
If Xiaomi chooses to implement such technology in the Xiaomi 16 series and Redmi K80 Ultras in the future, user convenience and product design are likely to be greatly improved. The slim and lightweight design that the technology boasts is perfectly in line with the engineering requirements that Xiaomi has set within its HyperConnect ecosystem to facilitate seamless connectivity between devices.
