This coupled with the fact that Xiaomi recently revealed what appears to be the **AnTuTu** score of the device, shows that the Mi Mix 2S could stand on its own against other flagships in the year 2018. As **reported previously** , the device is expected to feature a 5.99-inch FHD+ display in an 18:9 aspect ratio and possibly, an 8 GB RAM along with 256 GB storage option. Going by the trend set by Apple, the Mi Mix 2S is also expected to incorporate a notch on the display. Unlike Apple, however, this notch will likely appear on the top-right of the display, making it possibly less of an intrusion. Come 27 March, we will know for sure.
