Xiaomi is all set to pull the wraps off the company's flagship dual-camera phone in India on September 5, after months of teasing us with it.

Xiaomi is hosting a Global Launch 2017 event in New Delhi that is schedule to kick off at 12 pm. The company has also made arrangements to webcast the entire programme for the millions of Mi fans who cannot make it to the venue.

What to expect at 'Xiaomi Global Launch 2017'?

When Xiaomi vice-president (global) and India head Manu Jain Kumar announced in August the launch of a new dual-camera phone in the country in September, many fans believed the company might release the recently-unveiled Mi 5X or the flagship Mi 6 in the Indian market.

But when the company officially began sending the media invites, it specifically mentioned that the product was a new phone series and would be unveiled at a "global launch" programme.

Rumour has it that Xiaomi has been secretly working with Google and might launch an Android One series mobile with Xiaomi Mi 5X specifications and call it the "Mi A1" in India and other international markets.
