This indicates that the Hercules phone can be the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4. If this turns to be true then it will come with the similar specifications of Mi 9 along with great design. We can expect a full edge-to-edge display because all the smartphones in the MIX series come with a full-view display. Last year's Mi MIX 3 arrived with a slider camera with full screen. Let's see what Xiaomi is going to change with the design this time.

So far the company has not disclosed anything about the upcoming smartphone neither revealed any launch date. We can expect some more details about the smartphone in the near future.
