Everything about Xiaomi Mi Mix is great: the display, the body, and the hardware. In addition, this is the company's first frameless smartphone, which has designed French industrial designer Philippe Starck. His works include the Microsoft Optical mouse, Parrot Zik headphones, Fossil watches and a yacht for Steve Jobs. In addition, businessman Richard Branson stated that the spaceport for Virgin Galactic would also be designed by Philippe Starck.
The body and side buttons of Mi Mix are entirely made of durable ceramics. And the frameless 6.4-inch smartphone display occupies as much as 91.3% of the front panel. Thus, despite the impressive diagonal of the display, the Mi Mix body itself does not exceed the dimensions of 5.7-inch smartphones.
Because of the huge screen, we had to sacrifice the earpiece, which simply did not have enough space. Xiaomi has used piezoceramic acoustics, which transmit sound through vibrations. The usual infrared proximity sensor has been replaced with an ultrasonic one.
In addition, the display replaced the 5-megapixel front camera, which in the Mi Mix is located in the bottom frame, and its module had to be reduced by exactly half so that it could fit.
The base model is equipped with a Snapdragon 821 processor with a frequency of 2.35 GHz, 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The older model will receive 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal memory.
A 4,400 mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging is responsible for the autonomous operation of the smartphone. The resolution of the main camera is 16 megapixels. The new smartphone also has an NFC module.
The cost of the basic model will be 660 dollars, the older one – 750.
