Chinese Smartphone maker Xiaomi is set to unveil a grand event tomorrow i.e. May 31. – Xiaomi Mi 8, the Mi Band 3, and MIUI 10 are going to be unveiled. The Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is also rumoured to launch alongside. The smartphone has seen a flood of leaks running up to the launch, and today is no different. Images of the Mi 8 screen protector have surfaced online giving us more dope on its design aesthetics, and the teaser for the event has also been leaked, hinting at possible new Mi 8 features in the offing. The lower-end Mi 8 SE specs have also been leaked alongside camera samples showing off low-light photography capabilities. Lastly, it is likely that Xiaomi Mi 8 will launch in eight other countries including India, soon after China launch tomorrow.

A seemingly official poster has been leaked on Reddit and it tips that the Xiaomi Mi 8 will launch in eight other countries, including India soon after the launch event. While the smartphone will be available in China initially, India will see its launch soon after, details of which will be revealed at the event.

The Xiaomi’s 8th anniversary teaser video consists of a collage of small clips stitched together showing different activities just by tapping on a smartphone screen. At the beginning we see locks being opened of a book and a door, hinting at a possible under display fingerprint scanner.
