With Apple’s iPhone launch event just around the corner, Xiaomi has unveiled Mi Mix 2 – the successor to its last year’s bezel-less concept smartphone. The Mi Mix 2, designed by legendary designer Philippe Starck, continues the legacy of the original bezel-less Mi Mix but shrinks down the display size for better real life usage. The specifications of the Mi Mix 2 are top-notch, fit for a flagship device.

Mi Mix 2 Specifications

  • 5.99-inch 2160×1080 LCD at 401ppi
  • 151.8mm x 75.5mm x 7.7mm, 185g
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor
  • 6GB of RAM (8GB on ceramic special edition)
  • 64/128/256GB storage options (special edition is only 128GB)
  • 3400mAh battery
  • USB-C
  • No headphone jack
  • Bluetooth 5.0
  • MIUI 9, based on Android Nougat
  • 43 LTE bands

However, no smartphone is perfect. The Mix Mix 2 is not water resistant. It has no headphone jack , no memory card slot and no wireless charging. Regardless of these shortcomings, the Mi Mix 2 is a true design marvel and it’s as close as you can get to a literally bezel-less display. It has a giant screen crammed into a familiar footprint of other smartphones with smaller screens.

The original Mi Mix had a piezoelectric ceramic driver on the back but the Mix Mix 2 now has an actual earpiece speaker tucked at the top of the phone. The front-facing camera is still at the bottom right of the phone but it seems to be seamlessly integrated into the chin of the phone, which Xiaomi boasts to be 12% smaller than its predecessor.
Xiaomi says it designed the Mi Mix 2 to be all about the content — the device itself falls away into the background, putting just the content on the screen into focus. In this regard, the Mi Mix 2 is unlike any other phone in the market today.

Since, Xiaomi now has a presence in over 40 countries, the Mi Mix 2 should be up for sale in most of those markets. The Mi Mix was built to show off Xiaomi’s technological innovations, and the Mi Mix 2 is its worthy successor.
