Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 launch date set for 11 September; may come to India this time around

**Xiaomi** has finally scheduled a launch date for the second iteration of the bezel-less Mi Mix. The **Mi Mix 2** will be launched on 11 September at an event in Beijing, China.

Xiaomi India Vice President **Manu Kumar Jain** also shared a teaser image of the Mi Mix 2 on his personal Twitter handle, hinting that the phone could find its way to Indian Markets as well this year.

A previous report had stated that the launch would most likely happen on 12 September, the same day as the Apple iPhone 8 launch which is also rumoured to be bezel-less. This was immediately construed as a move by Xiaomi to take the competition to rivals Apple, however, the official confirmation states that the Mi Mix 2 will feature ahead of the new iPhone. The **earlier report** also included a series of images of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 which were released on Weibo. The images include a look at the front of the phone as well as an image of the back which seemed to reveal a ceramic-like material on the back with two cut-outs suggesting the inclusion of a dual camera set-up. As per a report back in March, the Mi Mix 2 will also come with a curved AMOLED display which covers around 93 percent of the front part of the device, as opposed to 91.3 percent on last year’s **Mi Mix** . This means that the bezel on the Mi Mix 2 will be even thinner than on the first phone.
