I got a minute maybe this whole AR emoji thing isn't just for the sheep maybe it's gonna be the best thing since gifts and don't put in the comments that are supposed to be gifs cuz I don't care but before we get into that let's talk about hardware cuz it's a big week in hardware news and we'll start off with the shamelessly named Xiaomi me mix 2's Xiaomi has confirmed that it will launch the me mix 2s on March 27th it also confirmed that the successor to the me mix 2 will have the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor the announcement is also showed off a mysterious number 273 741 have you got the geek cred to know what that is mmm I had to look it up you see this is likely a reference to the phone's possible score on the antutu benchmark tool if that's indeed the case it shows that the me max 2's will be a very powerful smartphone indeed now because xiaomi is branding this phone as a 2's is an indication that we're not going to see other major hardware changes in the phone other than the snapdragon 845 chipset this means we should remind ourselves that the me mix 2 has the current processing champion the snapdragon 835 inside along with a 5.9 9 inch display that has an 89th aspect ratio and a resolution of 2160 by 1080 it also has 6 q bytes of ram storage options for 64 128 and even a 256 gigabyte option battery sizes of Ida 3300 or 3400 million powers there's no word on pricing or market availability for the me mix 2's although it is likely to be launched first in China and India now for you Huawei fans out there the Huawei P 20 is actually the P 20 that's official but it won't be revealed at the Mobile World Congress this week a few days ago Huawei officially confirmed that they follow up phones to the P 10 and P 10 plus where the P 20 and P 20 plus the phones are unlikely to show up at the Mobile World Congress 2018 instead to be revealed at a separate Paris event in March the teaser video that sources this information is just 7 seconds long but it does throw in another hint towards three camera lenses in a very brief teaser video hence the looping while way shows a photo of Paris with an overlaid date of 2703 2018 the name of the device appears and then another hint that the phone will have count'em three cameras and then it's all over the three cameras rumor is curious though as we've got our hands on what we were told was a prototype of the Huawei p20 and there were definitely only two camera lenses on the device granted that the phone could be an early prototype model created before the decision was made to add a third lens so your guess is as good as ours now let's talk about specs we are almost certain that the Cure and 970 chipset will control the P 20 P 20 Plus which means both phones should have AI features onboard we also expect to see a choice between 6 or 8 gigabytes of RAM on microSD slot Android Oreo and a massive battery possibly as large as 4,000 milliamp hours of course this is all speculation and nothing will be confirmed until March 27th so let's talk about why I think potentially the AR emoji thing could be bigger than gifts and I think it's about precision well think about it for a moment you're on Twitter or messenger or Facebook and you're searching for a gift to express what words can't express as well as a visual aid but you can't find the gift that's just kind of accurate and right the way you want to say it well what of you could insert yourself in that gift and say exactly what you want to say or visually express exactly what you want to express without having to show your splotchy skin or a dirty background room right that's potentially if executed properly by the developers what AR emojis could do me likey what do you think I want to hear it in the comments below or in a more interesting way on Twitter with a gif tag me know if you want to get serious about branding yourself online our sponsor domain comm is over 300 domain name extension to fit your needs from comm tech club two dots pace and the guys of domain comm love the Android Authority audience so much they're showing their love by giving you 15% off an already really good price for domain names web hosting or email use our coupon code Android at domain.com check out when you think domain names think domain.com
