And the insider also revealed a few details about the smartphone.

Xiaomi already confirmed that the Mi 7 will arrive with Snapdragon 845 chipset and up to 8GB of RAM. Xiaomi will be using a 6-inch Samsung made OLED display in the Mi 7, which will have 18:9 aspect ratio. And more importantly, the device will feature a dedicated AI camera with some modes such as scene detection, face recognition beauty technology for the front camera.

And the tipster claims that the cameras will be vertically oriented to the back, same as the Apple iPhone X and Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. But for sure, Xiaomi will not use the same iPhone X-esque design because it’s a flagship smartphone, after all. However, with the phone said to sport a glass back, there will be minor changes to the design of the smartphone when compared with the Mi 6. Maybe, the rear camera orientation will be the only one that might get a refresh.
