Last year, Xiaomi launched its Mi Mix 2 (shown above) with 6GB of RAM and a high-res display. Fast-forward around six months, though, and it looks like an upgrade version of that device is coming.
Xiaomi is prepping a Mi Mix 2S with a Snapdragon 845 processor. That's according to Xiaomi spokesperson Donovan Sung, who revealed that the Mi Mix 2S will launch on March 27.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is definitely no slouch, packing a Snapdragon 835 processor, up to 256GB of storage, 6GB of RAM, and a 5.99-inch 2160x1080 display. With the Snapdragon 845 coming soon and appearing in devices like the Samsung Galaxy S9, though, it seems that Xiaomi wanted its Mi Mix 2 to be a bit more competitive. It's unclear what other improvements, if any, Xiaomi will make from the Mi Mix 2 to the Mi Mix 2S.
