Xiaomi Rubbishes Mi Mix Nano Rumors

Xiaomi recently unveiled a new smartphone called the Mi Mix. It provided a lot of good press for the company as the device is quite different from most of its rivals in the smartphone market today. The company is riding high on that wave of good press but it’s also having to deal with rumors, not that’s it’s always bad to be at the center of rumors, there’s no such thing as bad publicity right? There have been rumors that perhaps Xiaomi will soon launch a Nano variant of this new device but the company is now setting the record straight.

Xiaomi’s marketing director Zang Zhiyuan has confirmed via Weibo – China’s version of Twitter – that the company is not working on a Mi Mix Nano. “There’s no such product as Xiaomi Mi Mix Nano,” was what he really said, and if that doesn’t set the record straight I don’t know what will.

This goes to show that the company doesn’t have a Mi Mix Nano in the pipeline and all of the rumors we have heard about it have been false. It’s not uncommon for the rumor mill to obsess about something that doesn’t have the chance to see the light of day.

Word on the street was that Xiaomi is working on a smaller version of the Mi Mix which will be released around December this year. If the company doesn’t plan on changing its stance, it’s highly unlikely that a Mi Mix Nano will be out later this year.
