Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 prototype shows a stunning design

Back in October, Xiaomi announced their most ambitious phone so far - the Mi MIX. The device comes with an incredible 91.3% screen-to-body ratio, which the company says is the world's 1st. Less than four months after the launch, the company's CEO Lei Jun confirmed that they are working on the Mi MIX successor.

The company is reportedly aiming for a 93% screen-to-body ratio this time, and it has been confirmed that Xiaomi is again developing the phone with the help of French designer Philippe Starck, who worked on the design of the original Mi MIX.

A new leak has now appeared showing a prototype of the device, and it looks stunning. The entire front of the phone is almost all-screen. There's only a small bezel on the bottom of the phone, and even this bezel is trimmed compared to the last year's Mi MIX.

Earlier reports suggest that the Mi MIX 2 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 or 836, and it should come with 6GB of RAM, but we could also see an 8GB version since the original Mi MIX came with 4GB or 6GB of RAM. Other features should include a 19MP main camera, and a 4,500 mAh battery.
