This surely looks very interesting – especially for all those Xiaomi fans out there that wait impatiently the upcoming MIX 2 flagship.

Gizchina News of the week
The screenshot above tends to support these rumors, as it presumably comes from the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 lockscreen, showing the outline of a head, prompting the user to look at the phone to unlock it. The Weibo user who leaked the screenshot this new feature could be implemented later on in the MIUI 9 interface Ā and will arrive exclusively for the Mi MIX 2 model at first.
Since this image does not reveal much, we might also see a more simple solution that Samsung implemented with theĀ Galaxy Note7Ā that eventually was transferred to theĀ Galaxy S8. Sony also has a similar feature which runs even on mid-range devices like theĀ Xperia XA1 UltraĀ and the even more affordableĀ Xperia L1.
We will know more about this new rumored feature in the coming weeks, as the Mi MIX 2 is expected to be unveiled sometime by September. Could this new 3D facial technology lead to the death of the fingerprint sensors?
