The latest leak appeared on the Chinese social media website, Weibo in the form of pictures taken of the alleged device.
The leak was shared by an unidentified Weibo user and revealed the device presents a completely bezel-less appearance. According to a report published by Gadgets 360, the leak also further confirmed that the Mi Mix 2 is going to feature a 3D facial scanning feature.

The smartphone in the Leaked picture can be seen with a head-shaped outline on the front panel – which is believed to be a cut-out made for the facial recognition feature. The user accompanied the image with a caption that further confirmed the speculation that the Mi Mix 2 will arrive with the 3D facial recognition scanner. It is interesting to note that a similar design was spotted in one of the leaked alleged renders of the Apple iPhone 8 as well.
