Rumours have been making the rounds that Xiaomi has got a few more high-end phones in the works and that the models are billed for release in the second half of the year. Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s CEO may have inadvertently shared some of the features the upcoming flagship would pack.

The Xiaomi exec actually penned down an opinion pool asking the company’s fans which features they felt were necessary on a high-end phone. This was borne out of the observation that the flagship stack now has more and more functions, raising the design challenges and production cost.

However, the features mentioned are what defines flagships these days such as a high refresh rate, dual speakers, NFC, 30x zoom or higher (presumably hybrid or digital zoom), a 4,500mAh battery or higher, and wireless charging. He also included the 3.5mm port which some still argue is an important part of the smartphone ecosystem even with the proliferation of wireless audio devices. Mi MIX 2

Since rumours about the upcoming flagship models appeared, most posts b the CEO are viewed in that direction. An earlier post by Lei Jun where he shared image images of the Mi Mi 2 ceramic version elicited suspicions that the CEO may be suggesting that the Mi Mix 4 will have a ceramic body. The company is also said to have got plans for a Redmi K30 Ultra flagship powered by a MediaTek SoC.

Th post may just be another one of Lei Jun’s regular survey trying to get feedback from users of the brand’s products. Xiaomi is yet to officially release any info about the Mix 4 or any of the supposed flagship launching in H2 2020.
