We hasten to please you: dozens of Xiaomi Mi Mix are already in the Gearbest warehouse, and are ready to ship.
This is the perfect smartphone - just because perhaps the best industrial designer of our time, Philippe Starck, had a hand in it. The same one who created the popular, most comfortable Microsoft Optical mouse, the famous Parrot Zik, drew almost the entire lineup of elite Swiss Fossil. This man has worked on yachts for Apple billionaires and Stargates for Virgin Galactic's private space flights.
The frameless design of Mi Mix is reinforced by the durable ceramic design. It has both buttons and a back cover. The front, as you remember, is almost entirely an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.4 inches.
The new product is distinguished by its dimensions - despite the huge diagonal, the size of Mi Mix can compete with many 5.5-inch smartphones.
Since the screen occupied the entire surface, there was no room for the speaker - a unique piezoceramic driver, similar to a classic armature speaker, is hidden inside. Legacy of the Piston Hybrid. For the same reason, the smartphone has an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and the front camera has moved to the bottom frame - inconvenient, unusual, but you have to pay for uniqueness. Fortunately, the main one remained in place (16 megapixels, updated optics, stabilizer!).
The new product received two modifications. The simplified version uses Snapdragon 821 with standard frequencies, is equipped with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent memory. The maximum configuration already includes 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal memory - this is not found in any smartphone.
The device promises not only good performance, but also long-term operation without a power outlet thanks to 4,400 mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 3.0. Like other flagship Xiaomi devices, the new product is equipped NFC module.
The cost of the basic model will be 660 dollars, the older one – 750.
