Xiaomi had released the Mi 6 flagship phone in China in April this year. Even though India had received the Xiaomi Mi 5 in 2016, the company did not launch the Mi 6 in the country. In August, reports started claiming that instead of releasing Mi 6, Xiaomi will be bringing another handset with flagship specs later this year. Today, the company has unveiled the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 bezel-less phablet in India. The same handset was introduced in China in the previous month.
