What We Think
We’re at a stage in tech now that there’s probable stagnation in displays, but that’s okay, 120Hz is plenty good and we’re here for what matters the most when it comes to Xiaomi, giving users strong processors, big batteries with really fast charging and improved cameras.
Launch Partnership with National Geographic
“Xiaomi is also proud to announce a content partnership with National Geographic for the Xiaomi 12 Series called ‘Proactive Action’, produced for Xiaomi by National Geographic Creative Works. It is a regional campaign coming to Malaysia where Xiaomi will shine a spotlight on the ‘Wayang Kulit’ or known as the traditional shadow play to raise awareness around traditional and cultural entertainment. More illuminating stories to come,”
-Nicholas Shi, Xiaomi Malaysia Country Manager
