All that noise you hear about the bezel-less phones, well, it all started from the Xiaomi Mi MIX. Launched in China last year, the Xiaomi Mi MIX features an impressive 91.3% screen-to-body ratio. Though the MI MIX never launched in India, the smartphone got a lot of attention from the international community. Soon, a plethora of smartphones with 'bezel-less' gimmick launched. Closest examples you can check out are Samsung's Galaxy S8 and LG's G6 flagship smartphones.

The MI MIX 2 is expected to be a lot superior to the predecessor. According to reports, the smartphone will feature 6.2-inch QHD display, 256GB storage and 4,000mAh battery. It is also expected to come with a 20-megapixel rear camera and Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box.

There are also reports that Xiaomi will introduce a Mi Note 3 smartphone on the same day.
