Xiaomi has recently just launched Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha which is Xiaomi’s best concept smartphone. Now, Xiaomi has filed a patent on its next upcoming smartphone. According to TigerMobiles, Xiaomi could be developing its next smartphone which could feature a front facing selfie camera in the corner of the display.
