If reports are to be believed then Xiaomi might unveil a ‘white’ ceramic version of its bezel-less Mi Mix during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 starting January 5. The company recently put up a teaser on its official twitter handle which showcased a single word “WBHLIATCEK” written on it. If we inspect further, then it reveals WHITE mixed with BLACK which is expected to be meant for White colour variant of the Xiaomi Mi Mix.
“Just 4 days to our 2017 CES Mi Product Launch, it’s going to be an exciting Mix of tech breakthroughs! What do you think we’ll be announcing?” reads Mi’s tweet. However, the teaser does not reveal anything directly but with “an exciting Mix of tech breakthroughs” line, one can make out that Xiaomi would unveil the Mi Mix at the CES event.
To recall, Xiaomi had launched the smartphone in China last year, but it was only available in black colour variant. Back in November 2016, few pictures of White variant of Mi Mix have also surfaced online which showed that the new version boasts a ceramic body similar to the one in present black colour variant.
