Mukul Sharma, a famous tipster, has shared some images with a mysterious smartphone that is expected to be a prototype of Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphone. This smartphone has a middle aligned punch hole on the display.

The phone is protected by a hard protective case and if looked closer we can see a huge cut on the case at the right side where the power and volume buttons are placed. The tipster claims this smartphone also has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
