It seems that Lei Yun (Xiaomi’s CEO) loves to tease us and he keeps doing it just a few days before the official unveiling of their next gen Mi MIX 2 model. Earlier today, the multi-millionaire CEO posted this image on his Weibo account with the two box packages of the upcoming Mix 2 model!
The first (top box) carries the MIX logo, while the other is the back side, with a Chinese text saying that the company continues to explore and invest, along with a gold signature of Lei Jun. Note that while the first MIX was undoubtedly a concept model, this isn’t the case with the second device. This means that Xiaomi has solved all of the production issues and will be able to manufacture it without any significant issues – at least that’s what they believe.
