Philippe Stark, the legendary designer of the Xiaomi
Mi Mix, has revealed images of what he whats the Mi Mix 2 to look like.
Now before we all get too excited lets all look at
this image for what it actually is, a concept. Although the Mi Mix 2 is
scheduled to launch on 12th September, we don’t actually know what the phone
will look like and we don’t even know if the designer of the original Mi Mix
has had anything to do with the updated phone.
However, if Philippe Stark has had anything to do
with the Mi Mix 2, and why wouldn’t he after designing the successful Mi Mix,
we do have a very clear idea what the flagship concept phone will look like.
The device is very clearly a near bezel less phone
with the screen making its way to the very edges of the top, left and right of
the handset, while almost reaching right the way down to the very bottom of the
front of the device.
Stark revealed the Mi Mix 2 concept on Facebook via
a video while shows the front of the handset, the slender sides but doesn’t
reveal what’s going on around the back of the phone leading to speculation on
if the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 will have a dual camera feature, or if it will have an
under screen fingerprint scanner or traditional rear mounted option.
We’re also unsure where the front-facing camera will
be located on the Mi Mix 2, but there is always the possibility that Xiaomi has
gone down the dual screen route with the Mix 2 leading to the phone only have
rear cameras (see the latest Meizu flagships to see what we mean).
As for the hardware, well that’s all being kept
under wraps too, but expect a powerful Snapdragon chipset and a huge amount of
RAM to make up at least part of the spec sheet.
