Pushing Boundaries: Xiaomi Introduced Frameless Smartphone Mi MIX

Latest Xiaomi’s official presentation was rich with novelties and surprises. After a rapturous standing ovation, Mi Note 2 received, Chinese giant has rolled another ace out of its sleeve — a frameless smartphone Mi MIX. “Future has already come” served as an unofficial slogan. It was designed by a French arts man Philippe Starck. A large display, that conquered 91.3 % of the front surface, holds the record among all the smartphones.

Mi MIX features a sleek ceramic body. It comes as 6.4″ inches with resolution 2040×1080 pixels. We must not fail, however, to point out, that having similar dimensions, its rivals wears only 5.5 ″ display. Trying to make screen field as wide as possible Xiaomi had to practice a few tricks, e. g. the earpiece was replaced with a piezoelectric speaker that uses the phone body to generate sound. 5 MP front-facing camera was relocated under the display. At its rear Mi MIX is equipped with a fingertip sensor and 16 MP camera with dual LED-lights, f / 2.0 aperture and ability to record video in 4K.

Xiaomi has a potential to develop its own processors. For now, it seems reluctant to refuse some outside help, especially when it is competent. Mi MIX has a powerful chipset from Qualcomm — Snapdragon 821 with frequency 2.35 GHz. Two memory packs will be available: 4 GB RAM and 128 GB of storage and 6 GB RAM / 128 GB. The latter will have 18-carat gold accents surrounding camera and fingertip reader.

Mi MIX bears traditional features for a Xiaomi smartphone, mostly upgraded. It is powered by a 4400 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support. Connectivity options include GPS, NFC, WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth. It will have two SIMs, a popular feature in China, and will be able to work in LTE-networks. It measures 158.8×81.9×7.9 mm and weighs 209 grams.

Xiaomi Mi MIX is a real beauty in all ramifications: beautiful display, sleek body, innovative features and lots.
