Xiaomi Group Vice President and Managing Director of its India operations, Manu Kumar Jain today confirmed that the company’s latest flagship Mi MIX 2 will be launched in India on the 10th of this month. The India launch event will be held in New Delhi. In case you haven’t heard yet for some odd reason, the Mi MIX 2 was announced last month at an event in China. Its predecessor, the Mi MIX, was not launched here in India, so we’re definitely excited for the Mi MIX 2 launch. Similar to the original Mi MIX, the new model boasts a class-leading screen-to-body ratio.
In China, the Mi MIX 2 comes in two variants – one packing 6GB of RAM and the other packing a whopping 8GB of RAM. The 6GB RAM version with 64GB of storage is priced at 3299 yuan (Rs.32,300 approx.), while the 8GB RAM Special Edition version with 128GB of built-in storage is priced at 4699 yuan (Rs.46,000 approx.). At this point, it isn’t clear if Xiaomi will be bringing the 6GB RAM version to India or the Special Edition model. While Xiaomi enjoys almost unrivalled popularity in the budget and lower mid-range segments in India, it remains to be seen if the Mi MIX 2 will be able to lure buyers away from smartphones such as the OnePlus 5 with its impressive ‘bezel-less’ front.
