Looks like the dual edge-less design on the freshly released Mi Note 2 isn’t enough for Xiaomi. Indeed the launch of the new flagship was accompanied by the announcement of another smartphone, this one sports a breathtaking three curved edges design and a 91.3% screen-to-body ratio; they call it the Xiaomi Mi Mix. Let’s check out the Xiaomi Mi Mix specifications!
Xiaomi Mi Mix Specifications
- 6.4-inch 17:9 2040 x 1080p display with edgeless design, ultra-high 91.3% screen-to-body ratio
- 2.35GHz Snapdragon 821 SoC
- 4GB and 6GB RAM variants
- 128GB and 256GB UFS 2.0 ROM variants
- 16MP PDAF rear camera
- 5MP front camera
- 4400mAh battery, Quick Charge 3.0
- NFC
- Full ceramic body, black color only
- MIUI 8
- Dimensions: 158.9 x 81.9 x 7.9 mm
- Weight: 209 g
The Mi Mix is part of the bigger 6.44-inch sized lineup just like the Xiami Mi Max. The phone comes with a full ceramic body and minimalist design, developed with the world’s famous designer Philippe Stack.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix doesn’t feature any physical earpiece speaker or proximity sensor, so how are we going to make calls? Well, Xiaomi and their partners found a way to use piezolecetric ceramic acoustic technology, with which a ceramic drive unit converts electrical signals into mechanical energy, thus producing sound.
Gizchina News of the week
The Xiaomi Mi Mix also features an ultrasonic proximity sensor behind the 6.4″ 2040×1080 display, to fill the lack of a traditional infrared sensor above the screen.
Xiaomi says the 91.3% screen-to-body ratio innovative design is possible due to the 50% smaller camera module on the front of the device, which is now located at the bottom right corner. The phone’s round-edged display also features a custom 17:9 aspect that they say will be better for content viewing.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix will be powered by a Snapdragon 821 processor clocked at up to 2.35GHz and fueled by a massive 4400mAh capacity battery that supports Quick Charge 3.0.

The handset comes in two configurations, the cheaper packs 4GB of RAM, 128GB of UFS 2.0 internal storage and will retail for 3499RMB ($516); the more premium one called “18K” sports 6GB of RAM, 256GB of fast internal storage, 18-karat gold rims around the rear camera and fingerprint sensor (photo below) and will cost 3999 yuan ($589).
We’re still not exactly sure whether this smartphone is a concept or a real product, because they call it “concept” on their website but then say it’ll go on sale starting November 4th in China. Stay tuned to find out with us!
HOW THE HELL IS A CONCEPT PHONE UP FOR SALE !?
It’s Xiaomi, and I for one am extremely excited. It’s larger than the Galaxy Note 7 but the screen size is almost an inch larger. If Xiaomi does it right, this phone is going to be on fire.
Samsung’s note 7 was on fire and people didn’t seem to like that at all!
Lol, that was supposed to be a pun
its called a ‘pun’ bro !
you savage !
that pun is destined for the Hall of FAME !
HAHAHAHAAH
rofl !
nothing about sensor camera ?

copied aquos crystal 2 ? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c150eb614487e8855b233b6f0d60e816789a6d558c805dcbcde5be833187c9e3.jpg
It’s too thick to be Xiaomi copied (f**k, 11 mm for 2030 mAh)…
maybe aquos zeta ?
this phone is beautiful as fuck its not exactly like the no bezel concept but this is good enough
It IS exactly like the concept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIn704cUiqo
no the concept had no bottom bezel
ok
wouldnt it be better if you said by next yer this will be cheaper remember a phone of this screen size might be rare next year.. then again if this technology takes on next year more manufacturers will adopt this design seeing that larger phone screens will actually be smaller phones

Aquos crystal – the revenge.
I don’t like it, but I’m curious to see how it goes this time around since it’s by xiaomi
It is just too big , I was waiting for the redmi 4 with SD625
Waiting for release details on that one as well
What an amazing phone? My dream phone. Hope that it will be available soon in the stores for the world.
The display is not couved, just the glass is 2.5D as folks like to call it.
Still awesome.
So gutted I bought a phone last week that shipped this morning only to see this now! This would’ve been my dream phone, damn.
i cancelled my order XD this is whats cutting it
Think this phone will be incredibly hard to obtain.
incredibly easy to obtain you mean, seeing this is a xiaomi brand it will be on many online stores aliexpres geerbest even liaow if your rich enough
The ceramic back supply might be limited,not sure why they went that way since it limits their ability to produce them and increases costs by quite a lot.
your right i didnt factor in ceramic being harder to prduce, but they said they went ceramic since all the phone is based on ultrasonic technology all around it including the proximity sensor and speakers and and mic seeing that cermaic is a good material for sound
That’s an entirely different thing

I’m not too disappointed as this costs nearly double what I paid for my phone, come next year there will no doubt be a few phones like this, who knows maybe the vivo X-Play 6 will be like this!
What phone did you get?
Hello stranger, where you been hiding? I bought the 360 q5 plus, really looking forward to receiving it though 🙂
Always been here, I’ve been reading without commenting though.
Let us know how your new phone works for you!
Hi sensei, I’m glad to learn you’re still alive, have a nice day on elechi….cough cough …gizchina
Lol. No coughing!
This is getting so obvious now.
To be honest I’m having a better time reading the articles on another site. More reviews, less crappy articles.
So sad because I liked it better here in the past due to a nice comment section.
I guess nothing lasts forever
which site re you using now? Pm me please
I don’t know how to pm and it didn’t let me write it. It’s pending… I guess they had that name into a block list since I’ve never seen any kind of moderation here
Anyway, it’s this one https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/535acb1dff14e555cd8f66d5f0dfe387591235f6429606027658ee7ab23cd0b1.jpg
don’t worry I found it in your profile 😉
It’s just freaking too big. It’s not for me. I could not carry a phone as big as a tablet all the time.
hello dear, please note that its measures the same size as an iphone 7 plus
It’s not
Just Bought the mi max and the mediapad x2
fu**k fuuuuu*kk fuuu*fk fu*kfu*kufuf*kfuuu*k
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Meh no need to be mad, I will buy this next year
…when it’s being sold at half the current price.
Exactly ?
This looks not that different from my AQUOS, except maybe a slightly smaller bezel and a vastly larger former factor (i.e., finger gymnastics required). The only difference is this is still in concept stage for Xiaomi, whereas the Sharp has been my daily driver for almost a year. Honestly, after the first week the novelty effect wore off and now I don’t even notice the bezel-less design anymore (the only times I’m reminded of it are when I get the occasional stares on the train).
Without MI logo on front panel it looks lonely and undefined…

design not hardware, 2015 version aquos zeta / crystal
Damn, this is much better than Samsung Galaxy Note 7 or 8 and the price is literally half of samsung pricing.

If demand ends up 20 times higher than what they can produce….

“cantilever peizoelectric ceramics”
That’s an entirely different thing
The ultrasound sensor replacing the proximity sensor is from Elliptic Labs and does’t really have anything to do with the back. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20161025006141/en/Xiaomi-MIX-Phone-Advanced-Elliptic-Labs-Ultrasound

Probably the best phone with non-working LTE in about half of the world…
??? There is a global version
This is great but Mi Note 2 has a global model, the screen on this one, 4400 battery and 256 memory is incredible.
It’s nice but I would have been more impressed had Sharp not already released not one, not two, but already three phones with this edgeless screen design.
Yes, but Sharp phones are only sold in Japan thus Xiaomi saw the demand for such phones and decided to capitalize on it. I’d do likewise, thanks for such a great device Xiaomi.

Dear Xiaomi, push harder and make a phone with 100% screen. Hint: OLED displays are highly transparent and thus the front camera can be behind the display and moreover, the display can serve then as camera filter. I give you Xiaomi patent rights for this idea provided you bring such bezeless phone with 6″ display to the market.

OK… So Xiaomi really did it. That’s a great news, and surely something i wanna buy, just to see as many iPhone’s owners as possible crying for having paid soooo much money for a thing of the past.
But… I hope Xiaomi did their homework on build quality ’cause nobody wanna buy a beautiful phone that breaks on first impact, and with a screen so close to the edge, you better have a very, very efficient design to absorb the shock before it breaks the screen.

This company Xiaomi is marvelous. I bought Xiaomi’s Note 4 from Tinydeal. Their craftsmanship is worth noting. Where lies Apple’s design? My friend’s A|pple cracked from the middle on fall. Even Elephone is doing marvel with design. There is Infocus, Coolpad, Le, in India. There are no reason to buy such a costly phone like Apple. I am not a fanboy of Apple,Samsung,Lg,Sony. I can only say that the Chinese Companies like Xiaomi, Coolpad, Le and others have brought beautiful mobile phones to the hands of the poorest of the poor. Though Infocus is an American Company but the Chinese Companies have given beautiful toys and mobiles to the poorest of the poor even without the need to take bribe. China’s political ambitions(Imperialism) may not be good but their companies are doing marvel for the world.
