Xiaomi Vice-President and Managing Director Manu Kumar Jain on Monday announced the company will soon launch its new Mi MIX 2 smartphone in India. Xiaomi had unveiled the successor to the Mi MIX bezel-less smartphone at an event in China yesterday. The company had also showcased the Mi Note 3 smartphone and a Mi Notebook Pro laptop.

Xiaomi's first-generation Mi MIX smartphone had remained exclusive to China market. The smartphone, however, had gained a wide attention for being one of the first mobile devices to come with a near bezel-less screen. The smartphone boasted an impressive 91.3% screen-to-body ratio, setting a new trend in the industry. Shortly after, a plethora of smartphones were launched with a similar bezel-less gimmick.
