To allow heavy multitasking, Xiaomi has coupled the processor with 8GB RAM in the top model while the cheaper ones get an ample 6GB RAM. This kind of hardware has led the device to score a mind-blowing 2,77,178 on the popular Antutu benchmark. This kind of score gives the impression of a lightning-fast performance, but it must be kept in mind that benchmark scores do not always reflect the true performance in real-life scenarios. The Mix 2S supports fast wireless charging and Qualcomm fast charging 3.0. It comes with a USB type C interface for charging and connection to PC.

Xiaomi has given extra attention to the camera department of the phone to appease photography enthusiasts. The front camera is a 5MP shooter with HDR, AI-powered real-time bokeh effect and supports 1080p video calls. The rear camera setup comprises two 12 megapixel shooters. One camera has a f/1.8 aperture, wide angle lens and 4-axis optical image stabilization(OIS) while the other one has a f/2.4 aperture with a telephoto and portrait lens. It supports up to 4K video recording @ 30fps and 240fps slow-motion video recording at 720p and 1080p resolutions.
