It’s Xiaomi’s day today and more specifically it’s all about Mi Mix 2 as you’ve probably guessed. While we wait for the days to pass by until the September 11 unveiling event of the Mi Mix 2, some leaks keep coming our way – so it’s really hard not to pay attention.

The latest leak from Weibo (once again) basically confirms what we knew about the super slim bezels of the upcoming model, and shows the front panel of the device! The latest rumors insist that the phone will have a smaller display (6 inches in size possibly) – a bit smaller than the 6.4 screener the original Mi Mix packed. The user interface will be MIUI 9, based on Android Nougat 7.1.1 and will support 3D facial recognition.

Despite what unconfirmed rumors suggest, the device is expected to pack a Snapdragon 835 SoC, a 4500 mAh battery and 256GB storage. Stay tuned, it will be made official on September 11.
