Xiaomi has done its homework this year and has already released several great smartphones, including the flagship Mi 6. Still, the company has plenty of new products for this year and one of them is the successor to the bezel-less Mi Mix smartphone.

Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun has confirmed once again that the new Mi Mix 2 is all set to be announced later this year. He also added that the phone will be designed by Philippe Starck, who had designed the Mi MIX, but no other information was revealed.

We heard that the handset will boast even higher screen to body ratio, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the display and Cantilever piezoelectric ceramic acoustic system instead of a standard earpiece, as well as improved hardware.
