Today, a new video teaser surfaced online showing that Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, will unveil a new smartphone on June 28. Xiaomi has recently released the Redmi 6 Pro and Xiaomi Mi Tab 4 so we are expecting the Xiaomi Mi 6X Hatsune Edition and Xiaomi Mi Max 3. From the video teaser, our post suggested that this may be the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 which is actually expected in July. However, a recent event shows that it will probably be the Xiaomi Mi 6X Hatsune Edition to arrive on June 28. While Xiaomi has confirmed that it will launch a new product in Japan, the Xiaomi Mi 6X Hatsune Edition made a brief stop on the official Xiaomi Store before it was taken down. However, “spy wizards” were quick to capture a glimpse of the device page before it went down.
Taking a close look at the revealed images, this phone appears just like the Redmi Note 4X Hatsune Special Edition which arrived sometime last year just that the Xiaomi Mi 6X Hatsune Edition has an icon at its rear.
