Last September, Xiaomipresented its conceptual flagship Mi Mix Alpha for $2800. It hasn’t gone on sale yet, but it fell into the hands of the famous blogger Marques Brownlee, also known as MKBHD.
What showed
It seems that Marcus got a prototype smartphone, as some points still need to be finalized.
But first, let’s remember what makes Xiaomi stand outMi Mix Alpha. First of all, this is a display that occupies 180.6% of the surface area of the entire device. That is, it wraps around almost the entire body, leaving space only for a small metal bar with a camera. According to Marcus, the screen is protected by glass, but it is not one solid piece, but several parts connected to each other, creating the illusion of integrity. When light falls on the edge, it is easy to notice.
Each part of the display performs a specifictask. The left side displays the date, time and notifications, the rear panel houses the weather, step counter, music controls and the like. On the right side there are some digital controls for volume and power, but these buttons are very often pressed accidentally.
To take a selfie, the user will have to rotate the smartphone, since it has only one camera - the main one. But it is 108-megapixel!
In general, Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha turned out to be an interesting device. It should go on sale in India soon, but nothing is yet known about its release in other countries.
