Video of Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s confirms the selfie camera notch

Leaked images showed that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s will put its selfie camera in the top right corner to enable a uniformly thin bezel all around the screen. However, the authenticity of that image came into question after yesterday's leak that showed the rear camera in a different position. There is now video evidence now that the selfie cam will be in a little notch in the corner. As far as notches go, this one is by far the most inoffensive, it's about the size of a status icon.
