Xiaomi Mi Mix
Living life on the Edge – This is all what the Xiaomi MI Mix is about. Xiaomi has launched what has to be said, a Future design phone. It's unbelievable 93% screen to body ratio will leave you in tremors as to where the sensors and front camera go. Xiaomi explored new frontiers in technology by redesigning a front-facing camera which is 50% small in size than the typical ones. The device comes in two versions - The Mi Mix and the Mi Mix 18K, with both having slight differences. Unveiled at October 2016, Xiaomi’s Mi Note 2 was completely overshadowed by the unique and never seen before design of the Mi Mix. In between rumors about a bezel-less display in iPhone 8 and Galaxy S8, Xiaomi came out of nowhere and answered every question.
Design may attract people, but to emerge in the market the specifications need to be appealing too. Let us find out what Mi Mix Has to offer –
We will provide you a complete guide to get hand in hand with Xiaomi MI Mix covering most of the detailed specifications –

The Ultimate Review –
There’s a lot to talk about the Xiaomi Mi Mix. While the look is awesome, the device doesn’t lack in features too. The 6.4 inch screen covers almost the entire front face of the phone. The ceramic gives the device a premium look. The rounded corners act as the cherry on cake for its display. Talking about internals, we think a 6GB RAM, snapdragon 821 and 256 GB internal memory will definitely suffice the most. The 4400 mAh battery is a great plus and at last, the MIUI Skin is what you can experience while going with Xiaomi.
The positive side of any device is convincing but the bitter part is the drawback. With a stunning screen provided, the resolution could have been better. Camera quality is just average. An Octa-core processor is what technical users crave for, while this one has a quad core.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix certainly looks as a phone of the future but talking technically, it has not got much futuristic hardware or performance parameters. But, no one ever declared it as the ‘Phone of the Future’ so thinking this way, the internals are more than satisfying and make up for its price. After all that, we believe a bezel-less display would definitely turn many faces when you remove it out of your pocket!
