Xiaomi Mi Mix 256 GB / 6 GB
 | Outdated Product $664.00 up to $919.96 A guest from the future (in the vision of Xiaomi), which is one of the first among others made in a frameless form factor. The complete absence of frames above the screen forced Chinese engineers to abandon the conversational speaker and “run in” the piezodynamic sound transmission technology on board the gadget by vibrations of the case (at first it’s unusual, but the interlocutor’s audibility is no worse than in traditional solutions). Also, due to the framelessness, a 5-megapixel selfie camera moved down from the top edge. The main 16 MP photomodule is in its place at the back and attracts attention thanks to the edging around the lens made of real gold. The storehouse of innovative technologies is equipped with a 6.4-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2040x1080 pixels and is powered...by a powerful hardware platform consisting of a Snapdragon 821 quad-core chip, 6 GB of RAM and Adreno 530 graphics. The smartphone has 256 GB of permanent memory. The gadget's battery with a capacity of 4400 mAh is charged up to 83% in just half an hour at the outlet. |

The smartphone has 256 GB of permanent memory. The gadget's battery with a capacity of 4400 mAh is charged up to 83% in just half an hour at the outlet.
One of the visions of the smartphone of the future resulted in the creation by Xiaomi of the concept model Mi Mix, which certainly will not leave anyone indifferent when they get to know each other.
no frame
The mobile gadget is remarkable in every way. For example, with its frameless design — a 6.4-inch smartphone screen occupies about 84% of the front panel area. With an atypical aspect ratio (17:10), the display resolution is 2040x1080 pixels. But the most interesting thing is that the display almost merges with the top and side faces of the case, as a result of which Xiaomi Mi Mix has lost its earpiece and has acquired a new location for the selfie camera (under the screen).
Innovation to the masses
The audibility of the interlocutor during voice calls is ensured through the use of piezodynamic technology for transmitting sound through ceramics — the material for the manufacture of the smartphone case. At first, the sound seems too artificial, but getting used to it happens quickly enough. But not everyone succeeds in getting used to the soiledness of the ceramic case, which is why many users hide the “body” of the gadget under the outer “wrapper” in the form of a case.
High performance
In addition to the innovative technologies that have found application on board the device, Xiaomi Mi Mix boasts a high-performance hardware — a bunch of top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and 6 GB of RAM turns over all modern games and applications, regardless of the selected graphics settings. The enormous capacity of the built-in data storage (256 GB), which eliminates the lack of a memory card slot, deserves separate flattering words.
"Running" of technologies
Against the background of all the advantages of the concept, the quality of the photo and video materials obtained with the help of its cameras is a little disappointing. With enough light, it is acceptable, but as the light deteriorates, the quality of the pictures drops. Nevertheless, one interesting "chip" is still connected with the camera — the peephole of the main module is framed by real gold. And even if the smartphone does not break out into the broad masses, Xiaomi Mi Mix successfully completed its task of “running in” new technologies and received a solid “five” for this.
