OnePlus 5T supports Dash Charge fast charging tech
iPhone X runs the latest iOS and has hardware-based Face ID

Xiaomi on Tuesday unveiled the Mi MIX 2S as the successor to its iconic Mi MIX 2 bezel-less display flagship. The new Xiaomi smartphone has a thin-bezel design, similar to its predecessor, and comes in a ceramic body. Mi MIX 2S also includes artificial intelligence (AI) based camera features to take on the competition. But from the first glance, at least from the front, it is difficult to say that Xiaomi has done much different from the last year's model. It was originally rumoured that the new Mi MIX 2S will sport an iPhone X-like notch on the front, but the company ultimately retained the original bottom panel position of the front camera.

Alongside its similarities with the Mi MIX 2, the Mi MIX 2S has a bunch of features, including its bezel-less display panel and Qi wireless charging support, that are aimed to rival the iPhone X. The smartphone also notably includes a vertically placed dual rear camera setup that matches its appearance with the latest iPhone model. The new Mi MIX handset is also designed to counter the OnePlus 5T that has become a bit dated, but was launched to compete in a market actively adding new near-bezel-less display smartphones. Nevertheless, the OnePlus flagship is regularly receiving software updates to meet the competition. For instance, it recently added assistive light to enhance facial recognition and iPhone X-like gesture controls. The OnePlus 5T also received Android 8.0 Oreo-based Oxygen 5.0.2 update last month.

So, what are key distinctions between the Mi MIX 2S, Mi MIX 2, iPhone X, and OnePlus 5T? We've detailed them here to help you pick the best option.
