Ahead of the launch, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has shared some details about the highest configuration model of the Mi Mix 2S via Weibo.

In terms of design, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S will sport a four-sided curved ceramic body. As stated, one of the key highlights of the smartphone will be its AI driven dual rear cameras with scene recognition, Full HD quality slow motion video shooting capability and more. Another expected feature onboard is wireless charging support.
