The eagerly anticipated Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 has leaked out once again, although this time it appears to be a shot of the device live and in the flesh. The image is consistent with previous leaks of the device that show it to have an almost entirely bezel-less front screen. Said to be 6.2-inches and featuring a QHD resolution, the photo also gives us a good look at Xiaomi’s custom MIUI 9 based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
Qualcomm has already confirmed that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 will be fitted with a high-end Snapdragon 835 SoC, while it will come in both 6 GB RAM and 8 GB RAM variants. The rumor mill also suggests that there will be two storage options as well, with 128 GB and 256 GB models expected. The battery is thought to pack 4,500 mAh, which is generous when compared with other devices featuring a similarly large display. In addition to a finger-print sensor, Xiaomi has reportedly also baked in 3D facial recognition. Those hoping for a ceramic finish as incorporated in the original Mi MIX will, however, have to settle for an aluminum body this time around.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 will be officially launched on September 11. The original set the current trend for bezel-less designs, so it will be interesting to see if the Mi MIX 2 brings any other trend-setting features to the table at its reveal.

I have been writing about consumer technology over the past ten years, previously with the former MacNN and Electronista, and now Notebookcheck since 2017. My first computer was an Apple ][c and this sparked a passion for Apple, but also technology in general. In the past decade, I’ve become increasingly platform agnostic and love to get my hands on and explore as much technology as I can get my hand on. Whether it is Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, Nintendo, Xbox, or PlayStation, each has plenty to offer and has given me great joy exploring them all. I was drawn to writing about tech because I love learning about the latest devices and also sharing whatever insights my experience can bring to the site and its readership.
