Xiaomi saw a lot of success last year with its first Android One smartphone, the Mi A1. Now, the company has officially released the first teaser for that device’s successor.

Officially, there’s not a whole lot we know about this next device. It’s likely that the Mi A2 will be announced at an event later this month that the company has already scheduled for July 24th in Madrid, Spain.

If that is indeed the case, we’ll be looking at a 5.99-inch display with slimmer bezels and a Snapdragon 660 headlining the package. Following the hit that was the Mi A1, this is definitely a phone to be excited about…
