A year ago, the Xiaomi Mi MIX low profile was made available, but Xiaomi is determined to unleash a high profile smartphone with innovative design. This innovation aims at breaking screen display, visual experience and will initiate a new generation of smartphone design. This month, not only will there be a lot of speculations of the new generation of iPhone debutants, there will also be a lot of talks on the comprehensive screen trend of Xiaomi MIX upgraded version – Xiaomi MI MIX 2. Recently, Xiaomi official announced that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 will be released in a Xiaomi conference which will hold in the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium on September 11 by 11:00 pm. This means that the mysterious veil of the Xiaomi MI MIX 2 is about to be unveiled. This is a summary of what to expect from this machine which will obviously get you excited.
Full-Screen 2.0 Design
No doubt, the comprehensive screen design of the Xiaomi Mi MIX which was released last year initiated the new concept of the comprehensive screen era. Now, the Xiaomi full screen 2.0 is gradually unveiling and as usual, this Xiaomi innovation will deliver a more amazing experience. Xiaomi MI MIX 2 is designed by Philip Stark and the possibility of further development is inevitable. The main plot of this design is the “full screen 2.0” also known as “a perfect evolution trend”.
From the available posters, it is clear that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 is a continuation of the generation of comprehensive screen design but the corners look more rounded. It is believed that the Xiaomi MI MIX 2 full-screen design will be more extreme because the screen under the forehead is a lot narrower and it surpasses the previous 91% screen-to-body ratio.
No Longer A Concept Machine
Fresh reports claim that the Xiaomi MI MIX 2 screen ratio increased from the usual 17:9 to 18:9. The screen size 6.4 inches plunges down to about 6 inches thus a single hand grip is no longer a problem with this flagship smartphone. In addition, the body was changed to metal which is more resistant to fall, more suitable for mass production and of course cheaper to produce. This implies that the Xiaomi MI MIX 2 is no longer a “concept smartphone” but will be mass produced in a number of market listings.
Major Hardware
As early as July this year, a well-known mobile phone hardware test site, GFXBench leaked some information on the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 hardware. It was revealed that this smartphone will sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor coupled with variants in its RAM and ROM (6/8GB RAM and 128/256GB ROM). It is worth mentioning the currently, the main hardware aspect of Xiaomi MI MIX 2 suggesting multiple versions are just rumors and the final hardware program of this smartphone cannot be determined for now.
Equipped With The Mysterious Snapdragon 836 Processor?
With the conference only a few days away, information has been found regarding the processor of this device. A few days ago, a Weibo user released the so-called Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 system screenshots. The amount of information was good but some aspect cannot be verified for now. For example, the release claims that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 will be equipped with the unannounced Snapdragon 836 processor. Before now, a credible source @evleaks said that the next generation of Pixel smartphone scheduled for October 5 will sport the Snapdragon 836. The existence of Snapdragon 836 cannot be confirmed but it will be great for Xiaomi to grab the first release. However, the questions are “Is there really enough time?”, “Will Qualcomm start the Snapdragon 836 with the Mi MIX 2?”. Anything is possible anyway so it is best to leave our minds open.
Fingerprint & Facial Recognition
Compared to other brands of full-screen flagship products, Xiaomi is better at springing up the “surprise” when it comes to innovation. It is believed that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 will be the first smartphone to be equipped with a 3D lens as well as support for facial recognition. It is only a matter of time before we find out.
MIUI 9?
Technically, MIUI 9 is still in its testing phase and the time of the release of this official version is still unknown. Usually, for safety purposes, Xiaomi will like to use the officially recognized stable version for its new flagship device. However, the official publicity has given the hint that Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 will be equipped with MIUI 9.
Pricing
As for the pricing, comprehensive previous reports suggest that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 standard version of the price of 3999 Yuan ($610) while the high version will sell for 4999 Yuan ($763). You may think 4000 or 5000 Yuan is too high for a smartphone. But the truth is that all smartphone makers have revised their price policy and they come with more expensive devices. Some think it’s been done to get more incomes. But the companies associate it with the production process that has become more energy-efficient and labour intensive.
Everyone wants to own a bezel-less smartphone but only people know that it is a more complicated process than the regular screen making. Moreover, a few days back Samsung launched its next flagship dubbed as the Galaxy Note 8. It is priced at $930 (6100 Yuan). It’s expected the upcoming iPhone 8 will cost around $1000 (6559 Yuan). In this sense, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 comes at a low price.
Conclusion
In all, a Xiaomi official said that the Xiaomi MI MIX 2 will be a perfect evolution. Its appearance, configuration, camera, battery life and other aspects will be fully upgraded. Now that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 is coming out before the iPhone 8, it may give the apple product a tough time in the market. We can only wait to see what happens in the coming weeks.
