Xiaomi Mi Mix 3S Tidbits: Bottom Front-Facing Camera,

Wireless Charging, ARCore Support Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Tidbits

First of all, if there was any doubt that the Mi Mix 2S would offer dual cameras or “AI features”, let this image put those doubts to rest.

The above is the phone’s camera watermark (I’ve disabled the transparency to make it easier to see), which proudly shows off the fact that not only will the device have dual cameras, but it will have an “AI Dual Camera.” Whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Anyways, the fact that the phone will offer dual cameras and especially “AI features” has never really been in doubt given the many teasers that Xiaomi has been posting online. What has been in doubt is the phone’s design. Reproduced below is the most widely circulated alleged render of the Mi Mix 2S.

What is most striking about this render is the notch in the top right corner of the display that appears to house the front-facing camera: a design that eschews the recent notch trend from smartphones announced during Mobile World Congress. At the time of our previous report, we did not have any evidence one way or another to discount the validity of this render, however, that has changed with the latest firmware files we have obtained.

The feature image at the top of this page is a still image showing off what I initially believed to be a generic image of a Xiaomi device featuring wireless charging, but given the bottom placement of the front-facing camera, it’s possible that this design is of the Mi Mix 2S (which unsurprisingly would mean it looks very similar to the Mi Mix 2). Below, I have embedded the help video that MIUI will show to the user when they have trouble aligning the device with the Qi wireless charging pad.
