Xiaomi Mi MIX 2, the bezel-less display smartphone that is also the company's first premium offering in the country in a while, will go on sale again on Tuesday at 12pm. Notably, these are just 'preview sales' with availability limited to Flipkart and Mi.com, ahead of general availability of the smartphone in early November via Mi Home and other offline retail partners. To recall, Xiaomi has only launched one model of the 'regular' ceramic+aluminium variant of the Mi MIX 2 in the country - featuring 6GB of RAM and 128GB of inbuilt storage. The first preview sale was held last week, on October 17.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 price in India is Rs. 35,999. The Xiaomi MI MIX 2 Special Edition with an all-ceramic body and 8GB of RAM hasn't been brought to the country. The Mi MIX 2 competes with the OnePlus 5, Nokia 8, and LG G6. Flipkart currently isn't listing any launch offers in Tuesday's preview sale, but Mi.com will be bundling a free 12-month subscription to Hungama Music. .
