And now the company has succeeded it with a Pro model. In this post, we will be taking a look at the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Xiaomi Mi Reader Pro in Nepal.

Mi Reader Pro Overview

Design and Display

The Mi Reader Pro features a massive screen with a diagonal length of 7.8-inch. Similarly, it packs a resolution of 1872 x 1404 pixels with a 300ppi pixel density. Instead of regular color panels, it has an e-paper panel developed by E Ink. Such displays are great for e-book readers since they reduce the strain that one may experience from prolonged exposure to normal displays. Users can also adjust the color tone of the display. Likewise, the Mi Reader Pro comes with 24 user-adjustable brightness levels. Mi Reader Pro Display
