Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is one of the most anticipated smartphones right now. It is all set to launch on March 27 in Shanghai, China.

In fact, we come across new information regarding the smartphone almost every other day.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S could feature wireless charging, AI capabilities

Yesterday, Xiaomi revealed via its Weibo account that the Mi Mix 2S's camera will be equipped with AI capabilities. Well, the company has now released another teaser on the Chinese micro-blogging site. The poster suggests that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S will sport an almost bezel-less design. While it may not come as a surprise, we are sure that the company will bring a refined design to the smartphone.

Selfie camera at the bottom?

The teaser poster shows the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S sporting a full-screen design with negligible bezels on the top and sides. The chin of the smartphone can't be seen from the image. Presumably, it will house the selfie camera and the sensors on the bottom bezel like its predecessor.

However, we have come across some renders of alleged Mi Mix 2S, in which the selfie camera is positioned at the top right of the smartphone.

Wireless charging and vertical dual rear cameras

Folks at XDA Developers have obtained firmware files of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S and found that the smartphone will carry wireless charging support (Qi Standard). There is a video from MIUI's firmware log which reveals directions for aligning the phone with a Qi wireless charging pad.

The report also notes that the Mi Mix 2S will be flaunting a vertically stacked rear dual camera setup. A recently leaked image of the smartphone also suggests the same thing.

Finally, the XDA Developers report says that Mi Mix 2S could feature ARCore right out of the box. For those who are not aware, ARCore is an Augmented Reality Program from Google.
