There have been many leaks and rumors attached to the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3, the tech company’s rumored next flagship-grade smartphone. But none so far have given us a satisfying glimpse of the device in question from top to bottom, front and back, until recently.

Artist Ben Geskin (@VenyaGeskin1) has posted his own render of the Mi MIX 2 (and MIX 2S) sequel based on supposed live images that were leaked online. There’s a lot going on in the picture, if you haven’t noticed, but overall, it’s clear the Mi MIX 3 might be Xiaomi‘s most ambitious phone yet.

For starters, the front is occupied almost entirely by a screen that could end up being much larger than the 6-incher on the previous model. The display may stretch as far as Xiaomi can extend it — 6.4 inches, according to multiple reports out of China — and the bezels have been reduced to such an extent that the selfie camera could have a new location.

Rumors suggest the Mi MIX 3 may be the first Xiaomi offering with a motorized camera system that slides up when you need to unlock the phone or snap a selfie. Yes, similar to the system found in the Vivo NEX.

And just like the Vivo flagship, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 could feature an in-screen fingerprint sensor for security, because the back of the phone doesn’t show one — at least not in any of the images we’ve seen. There are also two cameras on the rear glass panel, as has been the trend in recent Xiaomi releases.

Specs-wise, don’t be surprised to see the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 powering the Mi MIX 3, along with at least 6GB RAM. The screen will reportedly top out at 2K resolution, and wireless charging via the Qi standard might be on board as well. The back-facing cameras are said to pair two 12-megapixel sensors, whereas the selfie shooter is likely 20 megapixels.

Finally, an earlier report had claimed that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 will launch with a starting price of ¥3,899 (roughly P30,401 or $569) in China. It’s a fairly reasonable bet considering the Xiaomi Mi 8, the reigning top-end smartphone from the company, starts at P25,990 ($487) in the Philippines.
