A lot of people had hopes that Xiaomi would launch the Mi Mix 2s at MWC 2018. However, a new post by the Xiaomi CEO himself on Weibo has revealed the launch date of the Mi Mix 2s. Well, that’s another phone less from the MWC exhibition.
Lei Jun yesterday posted a teaser that says that the Mi Mix 2s will launch on March 27th. Moreover, it also shows the AnTuTu benchmark scores of the device which appeared as ‘Polaris’ on the platform. Of course, the benchmark was for the Snapdragon 845-bearing device and it means that the Mi Mix 2s will also be ticking on the same SoC. If there were any doubts, it has been confirmed on the official teaser as well. The staggering AnTuTu score of 2,73,741 points left behind other flagships like the Galaxy S9 which is impressive, to say the least. So, now there you have it. There’s still a month’s wait before we can finally see the Mi Mix 2s in the flesh.

Nice to see that it won’t have the “dreaded” notch at the top like early rumors suggested. Actually I don’t mind the notch, I just hate see all these manufacturers putting them on their phones and not trying to be more creative.
I’m so excited for this phone.
