No notch, AI, and Snapdragon 845 SoC

After a plethora of leaks and misleading pictures, Xiaomi has raised the curtain on its new Mi Mix 2S flagship smartphone, revealing the 5.99-inch high end smartphone in all its glory, without the famous notch and with an AI dual-camera setup at the rear.

Measuring 150.86x74.9x8.1mm and weighing in at 189g, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is a big smartphone but thankfully, most of the front is a 5.99-inch AMOLED edge-to-edge screen with 2:1 aspect ratio and 2160x1080 resolution. Unlike some earlier pictures, Xiaomi did not follow the notch trend so the front camera is located in the minimal bottom bezel.

As far as the body goes, Xiaomi used a four-sided glass body with Series 7000 aluminum frame. The top version uses ceramic instead of the glass. As noted, it has a rear dual-camera setup which is slightly raised and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C 2.0 connector, no 3.5mm audio port (comes with USB-C to audio adapter) and support for Wireless Qi charging.

As expected, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 845 SoC and comes in 6GB and 64GB storage, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and 8GB RAM and 256GB storage combination. Unfortunately, it lacks the microSD card slot. The rest of the specifications also include 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, all the usual sensors, and a 3,400mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 support. It also supports all global 4G LTE bands, courtesy of Qualcomm's LTE modem.
