Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s Launch Likely After Mi MIX 2 Receives Another Price Cut

Xiaomi launched the Mi MIX 2s at an event in China, after skipping any major launches at MWC 2018 in Barcelona. Since its launch, the Mi MIX 2s has received a lot of praise for its top of the line specifications and design. However, it has remained a China-exclusive so far with no communication from the company about its possible global launch yet. However, a recent activity regarding the price of the Mi MIX 2 in India suggests otherwise.

The Mi MIX 2 received another price cut which means that it now retails for Rs 29999 in India. The price has been changed on all retailing platforms like Flipkart and Xiaomi’s India website. This suggests that it is a permanent price cut and not a temporary offer. In January 2018, the device received the first price cut which brought its price down to Rs 32999. At a price of Rs 29999, the Mi MIX 2 could be a great buy for users who prefer Snapdragon chipsets over Honor’s Kirin series.

A price cut usually indicates the launch of a newer generation which, in this case, is the Mi MIX 2s. So far, we have not heard anything from Xiaomi about a possible launch. In fact, the company is set to launch the Redmi S2 as Redmi Y2 in India next month. However, it is entirely possible that this price cut is the first step towards a possible Mi MIX 2s launch.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s looks great with its new design and the ceramic body. Interestingly, the Mi MIX 2s also has wireless charging, a feature the OnePlus 6 misses out on. The vertically placed dual-camera setup resembles the iPhone X and it is also worth noting that the Mi MIX 2s doesn’t have a notch. The OnePlus 6 goes on sale in India on May 21st at a starting price of Rs 34999. If Xiaomi keeps the price competitive, the Mi MIX 2s could be a great competitor for the OnePlus 6 in India.

Xiao Ai Is Xiaomi’s Virtual Assistant And It Is Very Similar To The Google Assistant

When Google launched the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, it talked a lot about the tight integration of Google Assistant within the OS. Many believed that AI and machine learning would be the next big trend in the smartphone industry. However, that doesn’t seem to hold up so far in 2018. The iPhone X notch has taken over the smartphone industry in the first few months of 2018. However, Xiaomi has strayed away from the herd so far. It launched the Mi MIX 2s without a notch and has now introduced its own virtual assistant, Xiao Ai.

Now, there is a huge chance that Xiao AI will never make its way to India. But, recent launch activity by Xiaomi India suggests the company has identified the great potential Indian market possesses. So, it is not completely ludicrous to expect an India-friendly version of Xiao Ai making its debut with the Mi MIX 2s. Then again, don’t hold your breath for the launch of the Mi MIX 2s in India.

Xiaomi has released a video showcasing the skills of its new AI assistant, Xiao Ai. The video is mostly in Chinese but, there are English subtitles and we couldn’t help but notice similarities with Google Assistant. In the video, colourful bars pop up when the assistant is listening, similar to the Google Assistant. Also, it shows that Xiao Ai can set reminders, control smart lights, tell the weather and other tasks that Google Assistant and the likes of Alexa, Siri can do as well.

However, it is worth noting that Xiao Ai is programmed based on the Chinese language. This means that, in China, at least, this will be the most productive virtual assistant. This bodes well for the company’s other smart home offerings as well.

Huawei P20 Pro Vs Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s

27th of March was one of the busiest days in the smartphone industry. Huawei and Xiaomi launched their flagship smartphones and Apple launched its most affordable iPad. Huawei in total launched three new smartphones. The P20, P20 Pro and the Mate RS Porsche Design. Similarly, Xiaomi launched its flagship Mi MIX 2s. These devices have top of the line specifications with premium build quality. The Huawei P20 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s are those devices, which offers the best camera, best design and best hardware without a premium price tag. However, the 899 Euros price tag of the P20 Pro is much more than the 3299 Yuan (423 Euros) price of the Mi MIX 2s.

The display is one of the most important parts of a smartphone. The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s has a 5.99 inch IPS LCD screen with FHD+ 2160 x 1080 px resolution. Similarly, the Huawei P20 Pro has a 6.1 inch 2244 x 1080 px OLED display. The OLED display always has an advantage over an IPS LCD display in colour reproduction and offers higher contrast ratio. However, an OLED display is also known for the infamous pixel burn issue, which degrades the quality of the display.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with 6/8GB RAM, which will feature in most of the Android flagship smartphones of 2018. The chipset scores record-breaking benchmark scores and offers a great set of features with latest LTE standards and Bluetooth 5.0. On the other hand, the Huawei P20 Pro has a HiSilicon Kirin 970 Octa-core chipset with 6GB RAM. This is an in-house chipset from Huawei with a dedicated neural engine. When it comes to day to day usage, these chipsets will perform like a pro. However, some of the games might work better on a Qualcomm chipset powered Mi MIX 2s due to better optimisation.

The camera is one more department where these smartphones will excel. The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s has a dual primary camera setup with a 12MP wide-angle and a 12MP telephoto lens. This camera has AI capabilities with features like bokeh mode, 4K video recording capability. The Huawei P20 Pro has a triple camera setup with a 40MP RGB, 20MP monochrome and an 8MP depth sensor. The smartphone offers 3x optical zoom, 4K video recording and super slow motion 960fps video recording. Due to larger pixel size, the smartphone can capture high-quality photos even in low lighting condition.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s Officially Launched

Xiaomi has launched its most anticipated smartphone of the year, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s in China. The smartphone’s price starts at 3299 Yuan (Rs 32,999) and has flagship hardware with premium build quality. There are no drastic changes in design. However, incorporation of the iPhone X-style dual camera setup does give this smartphone a unique expression.

The company has used ceramic to offer mirror-like finish with added protection from 7000 series aluminium frame. Unlike most of the Android smartphone markers, the Mi MIX 2s doesn’t have a notch, instead, it has a prominent bezel at the bottom. To make it more premium, the company has used 18K gold around the camera and fingerprint sensor. The device will be available in Ceramic White and Black colour.

[section label=”Specifications”]

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s has a 5.99 inch IPS LCD display with a 2160 x 1080 px full screen 2.0 display with a Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Under the hood, the device has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa-core processor with 2.8 GHz CPU and Adreno 630 GPU. This chipset is paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM along with 64GB/128GB/256GB storage. Just like the previous MIX smartphones, the Mi MIX 2s doesn’t have expandable storage.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX and the Mi MIX 2 were highly criticised for their camera capabilities. And now, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s might resolve this issue using dual primary camera setup. The smartphone has a 12MP wide angle and a 12MP telephoto lens, similar to the Apple iPhone 8. This camera setup can offer 2x optical zoom and portrait mode, which blurs the background by focusing on the subject. The primary camera is a Sony IMX363 sensor with 1.4-micron pixel. Additionally, the camera also supports dual-pixel autofocus, which helps the smartphone to focus on a subject in low light environments. The smartphone can also record 4K videos.

The camera features do not end there. Xiaomi claims that it uses AI to improve background blurring to create perfect portrait photographs. The company also uses AI for scene detection, to improve the colour and clarity of the photo, depending on the subject in focus. The 5MP front-facing camera can also capture bokeh shots using a single camera. The phone also has an instant translation with instant currency conversion straight from the camera app. Based on the DXO Mark rating, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s scores 101 points in Photos, which is same as the Apple iPhone X.

Similar to Samsung and Apple, the company is also launching its own voice assistant. Which eases out the day to day tasks. The smartphone also has an NFC chip, which supports cashless payments (limited to China). The smartphone also supports Qi standard wireless charging with 7.5-watt output, which is faster than the iPhone X.

There is no word on the device’s availability outside in India. However, considering the Mi MIX 2 was launched in India, its successor will also hit the Indian shores soon.

Mi MIX 2s Wireless Charging

For months, leaks suggested that the Mi MIX 2s will have an unusual design with a notch at the top-right corner. However, recent leaks and teaser images by Xiaomi have quashed those reports. The Mi MIX 2s will have a design very similar to the Mi MIX 2. So far, Xiaomi has teased a few AI features for its dual-camera setup on the Mi MIX 2s. This confirms that the Mi MIX 2s will be the first MIX smartphone with a dual-camera setup.

The Mi MIX 2s will have a 6 inch IPS LCD display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. As was with the Mi MIX 2, the left, right and top bezels of the device will be minimal with a thicker bottom bezel that will house the front-facing camera.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s To Feature iPhone X-Like Face ID

Xiaomi will soon launch the most anticipated Snapdragon 845-powered smartphone after the Galaxy S9. The Mi MIX 2s will be the third device in the ‘MIX’ series and the first one with the ‘s’ moniker. While earlier renders revealed an unusual notch on the top right corner, recent teasers by Xiaomi tell a different story. The company has continued its campaign of releasing teasers and its latest one talks about Face Unlock.

The teaser has a very similar feel to Apple’s Face ID advertisement. The video has images of famous painters like Van Gogh and a corresponding ‘unlock’ animation. Different artists are seen sporting different looks with beards, hats etc. It essentially signifies that Mi MIX 2s and its new Face Unlock feature will work regardless of what the user’s appearance is. This is similar to Face ID which adapts to user’s looks and works even if they’re wearing sunglasses or a hat.

So far, 2018 has been dominated by iPhone X copycats. Smartphone makers have been criticised for blatantly copying iPhone X’s notch but not really justifying its presence. So far, the Mi MIX 2s teasers have not hinted towards an iPhone X-like notch. However, in order to execute Face ID-like facial recognition, the Mi MIX 2s might have some extra sensors as well. Where those sensors will be fitted is yet to be seen. The best bet, so far, is the bottom bezel, which is expected to be thicker than the other three bezels.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s Specs

The smartphone is expected to have a 6 inch IPS LCD display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution.

Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. However, the smartphone will not support memory expansion. The device is expected to have a 3400 mAH Li-ion battery with wireless and fast charging. The phone will run on Android 8 Oreo OS with custom MIUI 9 skin on the top. However, none of the Xiaomi devices, barring the Mi A1, run on Android 8 Oreo as of now.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s Will Look Exactly Like The Mi MIX 2

Xiaomi will launch the successor of the Mi MIX 2 on the 27th of March in China. The company has been teasing different features of the Mi MIX 2s over the past few weeks. The company has now released new promotional images which confirm the design of the smartphone. Going by the teaser, the smartphone looks similar to the Mi MIX 2. This also means that all the rumours about the MIX 2s having a notch were false.

Mi MIX 2

As of now, the company has confirmed that the device will have a dual camera setup with AI capabilities. Similarly, Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi Note 5 in China with the dual camera setup with AI capabilities. So, we might see a similar camera implementation on the MIX 2s as well. Additionally, the company has also confirmed that the smartphone will be powered by Snapdragon 845 chipset.

Apart from being the first Xiaomi smartphone to be powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset, it is also expected to have wireless charging. Recent teasers have hinted towards the wireless charging feature, which means that it won’t have a ceramic back like its predecessors. It will also be interesting to see if the wireless charging feature will impact the pricing of the device.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s Specs

The smartphone is expected to have a 6 inch 2160 x 1080p display. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. However, the smartphone will not support memory expansion, just like its predecessors.

The Mi MIX 2s is expected to have a 4400 mAH Li-ion battery with fast charging. The phone will run on Android 8 Oreo OS with custom MIUI 9 skin on the top. Another interesting feature expected is gesture support. Similar to the Mi MIX 2 which recently got updated to Android 8 Oreo, the Mi MIX 2s will have gesture-based navigation system as well.

Xiaomi Teases Mi MIX 2s Camera Capabilities

Xiaomi will launch the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s in China on the 27th of March. This will be the first flagship smartphone from the company in 2018. In fact, the company has already confirmed that it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with AI-powered dual camera setup.

The company has released a new teaser with clapping hands. The teaser suggests that the smartphone might feature fast autofocus. However, the company could also be talking about the slow-motion video recording, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S9.

A new leak about the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s has already confirmed that the smartphone will have a 12MP IMX363 sensor 1/2.55” size, 1.4µm pixels. In fact, this is the same sensor that has been used on the Asus ZenFone 5z.

One thing that we are unsure about the device is the design. Initially, many renders showcased a completely bezel-less design with a corner notch, that houses front-facing camera. However, the recent renders are hinting towards a Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 like display with a bottom notch, that has a front-facing camera. The camera primary camera module is placed vertically on the back, which facsimile the camera design of the Apple iPhone X. In fact, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro also has a similar camera placement.

Expected specifications of Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s

The smartphone is expected to have a 6 inch 2160 x 1080p display with a notch at the top right corner. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. However, the smartphone will not support memory expansion.

The device will support wireless charging. Also, the device will have AI-powered dual camera setup.

As per the newly leaked images, the device has a display similar to the Mi MIX 2, with a front-facing camera located on the bottom left corner. However, this goes against most of the leaks, which predicted a completely bezel-less design. Interestingly, the dual-camera setup is similar to the one found on Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Similarly, an unknown Xiaomi smartphone was also listed on Geekbench with the code name Xiaomi Dipper. The Xiaomi Dipper has 6GB RAM and powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset. The device scored 2449 points on single-core and 8309 on multi-core performance. Since Xiaomi has already confirmed the presence of the Snapdragon 845 chipset, chances are that this could be it.

Leaked Images Of Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S Reveal Extremely Thin Bezels And No Notch

Xiaomi will launch the Mi MIX 2S in China on the 27th of March. Over the past few weeks, the leaks of the new device have been on a rise. A few weeks ago, we barely had one sketchy looking render of the Mi MIX 2S. However, new live images of the smartphone have surfaced online that differ from the previous information we have had about the Mi MIX 2S.

Leaked Video Reveals A Tiny Notch On Top

The leaked images reveal a uniform bezel-less design, unfamiliar with the MIX series. The bezels on all four sides are extremely thin and there is no notch on the top right corner. While that would’ve surely been an interesting design, these images look pretty good, too. The front-camera might not be visible but, it is housed in the bottom bezel where the home button usually resides. Could we see gestures for navigation on the Mi MIX 2S? Maybe, since they were introduced in MIUI 9 Beta for the Mi MIX 2.

The back of the phone is not visible in the photos. However, Xiaomi and later on, XDA Developers confirmed that the Mi MIX 2S will indeed have a dual-camera setup with AI capabilities. It will be interesting to see what the back of the device will be made of. Multiple leaks suggest that it will be the first Xiaomi smartphone to support wireless charging.

However, that will clash with another set of images. A few days ago, a leaked image of the back of the device revealed that it will have an iPhone X-like dual-camera setup with a ceramic back.
