Test report: Xiaomi Mi Mix

The Xiaomi Mi Mix China mobile phone in the video

The brand new smartphone Xiaomi Mi Mix combines a futuristic, stylish design and powerful technology. The mobile phone was designed by the world-famous French designer Philippe Starck. The extraordinary beautiful display occupies about 91 percent of the front. It has a stately size of 6.4 inches and a resolution of 2040 x 1080 pixels.  

Housing from the Xiaomi Mi Mix S

In the test, other peculiarities of the smartphone were positive. As with these mobile phones, the front camera is not mounted on the top of the device as is usually the case, but is placed on the lower edge of the display. Also proven to be positive is the fact that the small ceramic loudspeaker, which is used for listening to telephone conversations, has been replaced by a tiny ceramic driver in the Xiaomi Mi Mix S model. The task of the driver is to convert electrical vibrations and speech so that the caller can be heard.  

Innovative, powerful smartphone technology

The hardware integrated in the Xiaomi Mi Mix S does not have to hide from the competition either. As the brand-new smartphone of the Chinese brand manufacturer Xiaomi is equipped with a 128 gigabytes of data storage, four gigabytes of memory and the innovative Snapdragon 821 processor from the brand manufacturer Qualcomm. This ensures that the mobile phone will still meet the requirements of ever more demanding mobile users in a few years.  

Futuristic borderless display

The heart of the Xiaomi Mi Mix is the outstanding display without if and but. The unusual aspect ratio of 17: 9 immediately attracts the attention of everyone present as soon as the smartphone is taken into the hand. Furthermore, the display was designed in such a way that despite the placed navigation buttons a fully visible area in the format of 16: 9 is available for use. In the test, a remarkable screen-to-case ratio of 91.3 percent could be determined. In this point, the brand new Chinahandy from the house Xiaomi can quite compare with the many times expensive iPhone 7 Plus. In order to realize this, the use of conventional earphones, which usually claim the upper portion of the display, has been dispensed with. However, the Xiaomi Mi Mix is not only in terms of display record-breaking. The dimensions of the Selfie Camera have been reduced by 50 percent. The proximity sensor, which usually works with infrared, has been replaced by an ultrasonic sensor in the Xiaomi Mi Mix. This is installed at the bottom of the display. This technology, developed in Norway, is called "Inner Beauty". As was shown in the test, this technology could not be used exclusively to eliminate the conventional proximity sensor, but also the speakers installed under the display. The technology Inner Beauty, developed by the Norwegian company Elliptic Labs, has been integrated into the mobile phone for the first time on the Xiaomi Mi Mix smartphone. Thus, the Chinahandy Xiaomi Mi Mix has an additional unique feature in addition to the exceptional display, compared to the models of the numerous competitors. The fear that the display with a size of 6.4 inches could be too large, has not been true in the test. Compared to the iPhone 7 Plus from Apple, the new Xiaomi Mi Mix S is just four millimeters wider and 0.6 millimeters thicker.  

Processing quality of Xiaomi Mi Mix

Also in this point there is nothing to complain about in the test. Instead, another innovation emerged in the test. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has consistently refrained from using any adhesive compounds. Instead, plug connections were used. Around the main camera and around the fingerprint sensor are decorated by 18-carat gold, which together with the black color underline the noble effect of the device.  

Language, sound quality and connectivity

Regarding language quality, there is no reason to complain. All words spoken during the call were clearly understood by both participants. The smartphone is also equipped with a conventional headphone jack, which together with the 24-bit and 192-kHz audio chip also provide good sound, so there is nothing to complain about in the test. Like most smartphones from Xiaomi, the Xiaomi Mi Mix does not provide support for the LTE band 20. For this reason, it is not the perfect smartphone for every user.  

Battery from Xiaomi Mi Mix

The latest high-end smartphone from the company Xiaomi is equipped with a powerful 4400 mAh battery including fast charging function. To enable the battery to charge faster, the smartphone was equipped with a USB port of type C.  

Other features of the Xiaomi Mi Mix

The Xiaomi Mi Mix runs under the operating system Android 6.0. As usual for Chinahandys, Google services are not preinstalled. The required applications must be downloaded from Google Playstore and installed on the phone. The main camera is attached to the back of the housing and dissolves with 16 megapixels. The Xiaomi Mi Mix comes in two different versions. In RAM, the customer can choose between four and six GB. The smartphone is also available with 128 GB or 256 GB internal memory. Especially the larger version offers the user a lot of room for the music collection, photos, movies and text files.
