XIAOMI MI MIX



Positives
Flashy design
Almost no bezel!
Snapdragon 821 works great
High storage capacity
Great battery life despite screen size
Software includes features Western UIs lack
Negatives
Though flashy, design is far from accessible
Near bezel-less 17:9 display gains bezels when viewing typical content
MIUI a bit of mess, mostly due to lack of app drawer
Cameras are aggressively average
Front facing camera location not at all ideal

Xiaomi made quite a splash with what they called a ‘concept phone”; a phone that, they hope, will give us a glimpse into a future where smartphones are slabs of glass that project the magic that lies within. Considering we don’t have the technology (yet) that can make our phones achieve this, they went with the best we can do right now – a phone that is all display, all the time.
I’ve been using it for some time now, trying to figure out if a phone that is basically entire display actually makes sense for our daily lives. After all, doing this to a phone means that some changes have to be made to the very way that we see and use our smartphones. Does it work and is this the future of smartphones? Let’s find out in this, our Xiaomi Mi MIX review.
