The company was one of the firsts to attempt manufacturing a smartphone with an edge-to-edge display, which was launched last year touted as Mi Mix. Now, as the device got so much of hype, the company is ready to bring the successor of the Mi Mix, the Mi Mix 2. There have been a lot of leaks and rumours lately about the Mi Mix 2.
Recent reports from Weibo, a Chinese website, suggest that the Mi Mix 2 will sport 3D facial recognition.

As per the tipster, this new feature will be implemented in the upcoming MIUI 9, sadly it won't be available to every MIUI 9 compatible Xiaomi device.
