Xiaomi fans are eagerly waiting for the arrival of the next Mi MIX series smartphone. Last year in September, the Chinese firm unveiled the Mi MIX Alpha concept smartphone with a wraparound display in the home market. The concept phone was never made available for purchase. So, the last Mi MIX 3 5G that debuted in February 2019 is the last commercially available Mi MIX phone. The rumor mill is speculating that the Mi MIX 4 or 5 could be the name of the next Mi MIX device. However, new information reveals that the upcoming Mi MIX handset could be arriving as Mi MIX 10.

On June 16, Xiaomi organized Xiaomi Security and Privacy Promotion Event in China to promote the awareness of data security. Based on the importance of the data and the degree of impact on the company, the data assets were classified into four levels of confidentiality such as top secret, confidential, internet level, and public level. Students were seen placing names of different Xiaomi products in the four categories.

The stickers also carried names of some unannounced products such as Mi MIX 10 and MIUI 15. The Chinese firm introduced MIUI 12 in China in April and its global edition was announced a month later. The MIUI 15 sticker suggests that the company could be skipping ‘13’ and ‘14’ numbers for its next MIUI version. This edition is expected to arrive with optimizations for the 120Hz refresh rate among other features.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Xiaomi. Earlier this year, the company launched phones like Xiaomi Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, and Mi 10 Youth in China. It appears that the next MIX series smartphone will also have the number ‘10’ in its branding. At present, there is no official word on the specs of the phone Mi MIX 10. It could be the first Mi branded phone with a 120Hz refresh rate supporting OLED panel. Also, it could be featuring the rumored Snapdragon 865+ SoC.
