The image shows that the design of the smart phone has similarity with VIVO NEX with a pop-up camera.
Xiaomi President Lin Bin said that the company applied for the technical patent of the pop-up camera phone in 2015, and also did the engineering of the smart phone.
Lifting camera design failed to meet the full functional requirements of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 so he opted for a full-screen slide.
Although, Xiaomi President did not disclose the “full functional requirements.” A pop-up camera design will not have space for other sensors required for the Face ID feature.
Therefore, the company chose the full-screen slide because it needed to use Face ID on the Mi MIX 3. With this design and slide camera in place, Xiaomi may just launch such a smart phone in the future but it will definitely not come with face identification feature.
From the images, whatever smart phone Xiaomi is planning to bring with this design was to have a 3400 mAh battery.
