Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is gearing up to announce the the Mi Mix 2S, the next iteration of its bezel-less smartphones, on March 27. Before the official launch, however, the company has shared a video highlighting the advanced face-recognition capabilities of the upcoming smartphone.

The video teaser shared by Xiaomi on Chinese social media portal Weibo shows faces of famous artists like Van Gogh with an unlock symbol, suggesting the Mi Mix 2S would sport a facial recognition feature that would identify faces irrespective of the difference that comes to a face with beard and without, with a cap or without cap, etc.

Recently, the phone’s official promo material had also been leaked, dropping a few hints on what to expect from the device.

Unlike an earlier leak that showed the bezel-less smartphone with all-screen display and a minute cut-out on the top-right corner for a selfie camera, the newer one showed an altogether new design, in line with the current breed of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.

Based on the official promo material, it can be anticipated that the Mi Mix 2S would sport a Mi Mix 2-inspired design, with three-side bezel-less screen and a minimal bezel on the bottom. However, the front camera placement is not clearly visible and the phone might get a new space to host it.

As for specifications and features, the phone would boast Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 system-on-chip (SoC); this was confirmed by the company spokesperson on social media. Another leaked image in the past suggested that the phone would sport a 256GB internal storage and up to 8 GB of RAM. However, another variant with a lower storage option could be there as well.

In terms of imaging, the previous leak revealed that the upcoming device would sport a dual-camera set-up on the back. However, there is no confirmation around it and we would have to wait until the official launch on March 27 to get the final details.
