Xiaomi Mobile used to be known as China’s Apple, but it is increasingly looking to become a global brand. For the first time in 2017 Xiaomi is exhibiting at CES, and this will also be the year its products finally go on sale in the US.

Now that a white version of the Mi MIX has come up on the internet ahead of the official release of the device, consumers expect it to be available at unveiling along with the black version that was actually released earlier. The teaser image which shows a possible Mi product launch at CES also has the words BLACK and WHITE overlapping each other.

Xiaomi has been posting to social media teasers of what it has in store at its first ever CES stint, and it says there will be one new product that will be available globally. Given the event’s tagline - 'A Glimpse Into The Future' - all our money is on a Global variant of the revolutionary Mi Mix smartphone, though we could also see new products such as the Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 announced.

At CES 2017 Xiaomi is likely to announce a new variant of the Mi Mix. Given that the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 announced alongside it is the first Xiaomi phone to come with global connectivity (37 bands including full UK 4G connectivity), we think the Mi Mix is about to follow in its footsteps.

As far as specifications are concerned, the are as good as they come. Xiaomi Mi MIX is powered by the latest Snapdragon 821 at 2.35GHz with a RAM of 4GB and storage of 128GB and a 6GB variant with a storage of 256GB. The smartphone is fueled by a big 4400mAh battery along with the Quick Charge 3.0. With HD audio quality it has a 192kHz / 24-bit resolution. The Xiaomi Mi MIX Pro smartphone has a 16MP PDAF rear camera. Xiaomi Mi Mis comes with the MIUI 8 OS.
