As is testified by Samsung’s Note 8, S8 and Apple’s upcoming iPhone 8, the future of smartphones lies more in bezel-less displays. Xiaomi can safely call itself as one of the first companies to come up with that idea through the famed Mi Mix and the Mi Mix 2 is an increment to that with an expected launching price of 95,000 rupees.
The Mi Mix 2 is Xiaomi’s flagship phablet with some incredible specifications underneath its hood. Other than featuring a larger than life display, its hardware finely compliments its power. The caption finely describes what the smartphone looks like as it features a dual-glass panel design with excellent dimensions that include a 7.9mm width and 209g weight. Phablets tend to weigh that much so the 209g shouldn’t bum you out.
The touchscreen stretches from the top of its front panel to the thin bezel at its bottom making the smartphone seem like a cross between the iPhone 8 and the Galaxy S8.
If there’s one department that sees little but significant improvement upon its predecessor, it’s the display. The smartphone features a slightly toned-down 6.2 inches AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 531ppi pixel density. Translating to an excellent 1440p HD resolution, the smartphone’s huge display won’t leave even a single pixel unattended. The result is a supreme graphical experience that will do its utmost to serve you with excellent attention to detail.
Seems like Xiaomi’s taken heed from the fact that the Mi Mix’s cameras weren’t up to the task. That’s led to the Mi Mix 2 featuring much bigger camera sensors on both its front and back panels. Tackling its primary camera first, what we have here is a large 21 MP sensor with phase detection autofocus, geo-tagging, touch focus, HDR, panorama and a bright dual-tone LED flash. Stuffed with outstanding power, we’re positive that this baby won’t let you down.
In another exciting news, Xiaomi’s finally let go of its greed with selfie cameras; the result is a large 13 MP sensor that should do tremendously well to produce excellent snapping on the large front display.
The phablet is powered by an octa-core processor with variant dependent RAM and internal storage; the comparatively cheaper variant includes 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage while the power-packed variant features 6GB RAM plus 256 gigs of storage. Both ditch the external card-slot altogether while optional dual-SIM capability is always on standby.
In keeping up with modern trends, the smartphone features a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, USB type-C for fast and efficient data transfer while Quick Charge 3.0 and a large 4400 mAh non-removable battery keeps the smartphone ticking for a day on normal usage.
