The leaked renders of the Mi Mix 2 smartphone, which was shared by a Weibo user, showed off the back of the handset. The image showed the handset with a white ceramic back panel, which seems to have a unibody and rounded edges, according to Gizbot.

Smartphone’s concept video
The concept video by designer Philippe Starck seems to indicate that the device will feature thinner bezels than its predecessor.
Starck posted the video on his Facebook account with a tag line, "even less," which appears to tease at a smaller bezel and a bigger screen.
Through Starck’s concept video, it appears that the Chinese tech company is once again gearing up to surprise the smartphone industry with its new bezel-killing mobile device. The new phone could offer the best screen to body ratio.
