Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 officially confirmed to launch on September 11

The upcoming IFA 2017 is going to witness the unveiling of several smartphones. However, Chinese brand Xiaomi has decided to not join the rat race of manufacturers.

The company has posted a launch poster for the Mi Mix 2 on its official Weibo account.The launch poster reveals that Xiaomi will take the wraps off its flagship on September 11. Besides the revelation of the launch date, the poster also states that the Mi Mix 2 will arrive with a full-screen 2.0 design. The launch event will take place at Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium on Sept. 11 at 2 PM local time.

Well, there are rumors suggesting that Apple will unveil the iPhone 8 on September 12, along with the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. Earlier the Mi Mix 2 was also speculated to launch on the same day. However, now we know that the Xiaomi flagship will be launched one day prior to the alleged launch date of iPhone 8. 

Coming back to the launch poster, it indicates the smartphone's display will have a higher screen-to-body ratio than its predecessor, the Mi Mix. If you remember, French designer Phillippe Starck had posted a video on his Facebook profile. The video contained a bezel-less smartphone along with the text that reads Mi Mix 2 conceptual product design.



We don't know if it is a coincidence, the handset that is shown in the video and the one in the poster looks quite the same. For better reference, the original Xiaomi Mi Mix was designed Phillippe Starck as well.

If we pay heed to the rumors, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 will flaunt a 6.4-inch dual curved AMOLED 2K display.



Speaking of other specifications, the smartphone is said to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. It will come with pre-installed Android 7.1.1 Nougat with the layer of MIUI 9 on top. There could be two memory variants of the Mi Mix 2. 

The standard will offer 6GB of RAM and 128GB of inbuilt storage space. Whereas, the higher version will probably have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of default storage.
