The new Chinese company in the smartphone industry, Xiaomi, launched the Mi Mix series last year, which was very successful, and this has encouraged the industry to introduce the 2nd generation of the phone with cutting edge specs featuring an edge-to-edge display with a 92 per cent screen-to-body ratio. The new device is called Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and is expected to be released this month in the Chinese capital Beijing. The flagship is unlikely to make it to more than a few countries through official channels, but some Chinese retailers may ship the Mi MIX 2 internationally.In the past, a group of photos on the social networking site “Webo” reveals a smart Xiaomi device called a concept phone with almost no bezel.

According to a report published on the indianexpress website, the phone is sure to be launched on September 11 in Beijing. The difference between the Mi Mix 2 and last year Mi Mix is the size of the screen as it will come with a 6.2 inches screen (1440 * 2960 pixel resolution).  Also, it will be powered by an 8-core Snapdragon 836 SoC processor and runs Android 8.0 (Oreo) operating system.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is rumoured to come in two variations based on the amount of memory – 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM, or 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM, both with a dual-camera setup. Just like the iPhone 8, Mi Mix 2 could also feature a special module for face recognition. We’ll have to wait and see if this phone makes it to other markets as well, including India.

A dual 20 megapixels camera will be provided at the back of the phone while at the front comes 13 megapixels, all juiced by a robust battery capacity of 4400 mAh.
