Yesterday, Xiaomi officially unveiled the much anticipated Xiaomi Mi MIX 4. This flagship smartphone is the first Snapdragon 888+ smartphone and it is the first regular MIX smartphone in three years. According to Lei Jun, Chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi Group, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 has a 4999 yuan ($771) starting price. This smartphone has four models and the prices are
- 8GB + 128GB – 4999 yuan ($771)

The first official pre-sale of this smartphone commenced at 22:00, just a few hours after its launch. Interestingly, after a few minutes of pre-sales, this flagship smartphone completely sold out. Although the company did not divulge the number of units available for pre-order, this device seems to be very popular.
A few days before the official launch of this smartphone, it has been attracting attention. Recall that on Jingdong and Tmall, the number of appointments for this device exceeds 350,000. Thus, we didn’t expect this device to stay on the shelf for too long.
