Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 first impressions

Jump over to 2017 and the bezel-less or reduced bezel display trend is now common for many flagships, even some mid-range phones. Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, Galaxy Note8, Apple iPhoneX, the LG G6 and V30 are some premium examples, which have this kind of a display where the bezels has been entirely removed or reduced. The aspect ratio on most phones is 18:9 or higher, though the iPhone X is supposed to have a 19:9 ratio.

Players like Micromax also have Canvas Infinity with 18:9 aspect ratio on the display, and other Chinese manufacturers like Huawei with its Honor 9i and vivo with Vivo V7+ have also launched full vision displays. So how does the Mi Mix 2 fare in a market where the display and its disappearing bezels are talk of the town? What does it really offer that’s unique? We have had the chance to use the Mi Mix 2 for some days ahead of the launch and here’s our first impression.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Design, Display

Let’s face it, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is all about the design. For the company, the second variant of the phone is an evolution of what they originally launched in 2016 when bezel-less was just an upcoming trend. The Mi Mix 2 variant launching in India comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Also, this one doesn’t have a ceramic unibody design like the Mi Mix 2 Special Edition.
