Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S smartphone may come with Snapdragon 845 chipset

Xiaomi was rumoured to launch Mi Mix 2S smartphone with Snapdragon 845 chipset before the Mobile World Congress 2018, but the Chinese company avoided the same, and now the launch event will be held in China on March 27.

According to TelecomTalk, the AnTuTu score of the new smartphone is out through a couple of leaked promotional images. The Mix 2S, which has a score of 273741 in AnTuTu benchmark, is stated to be more than Galaxy S9+'s score.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is the world's first smartphone to have used Snapdragon 845 chipset, but Galaxy S9 and S9+, scheduled to be launch today, are also coming up with the same feature, said the report.

The Chinese electronics firm, which has set up a massive booth in Barcelona's Mobile World Congress 2018, has so far not given any update on its launch. And these two promotional images leaked by a member of Weibo reportedly confirmed the phone’s launch date as of March 27. 

Talking about the rumoured specifications of the Mi Mix 2S, the report said the feature would come with the same design as the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, but the front-facing camera will be moved to the top. 
The phone is expected to arrive with up to 8GB of RAM and Adreno 630 GPU to take care of the graphics in the smartphone.

The smartphone will feature dual cameras at the back, followed by a single camera to the front, said the report, adding that the new phone is likely to have the premium Ceramic material to give it a unique look. 

The firmware leak reportedly said that Mi Mix 2S is coming with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, and will have 3400mAh battery inside, similar to Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.

The report further stated that Xiaomi is likely to add more Artificial Intelligence features to the camera application such as Object Tracking and Scene Detection mode.
