Still a flagship
Having released the original Mi Mix, Xiaomi was able to declare itself as one of the first manufacturers whose portfolio includes a “frameless” smartphone. The second version of Mi Mix became even more frameless, so to speak, and got rid of some of the problems of the first version. And in the realities of 2019, it looks just as attractive.
Truly frameless screen
So, almost all the free space is occupied by a large 6-inch display. The display-to-size ratio is an impressive 80%, which still looks impressive. At the same time, there is no notch on the screen, which annoys many buyers. The screen is made using IPS technology, has a resolution of 2160x1080 and boasts excellent color reproduction, high contrast and the ability to quickly customize the color palette to suit your needs.
Song of metal and ceramics
As in the first version, metal (frame) and ceramic (back) are used as case materials. The body looks great and feels good in the hand, but the back collects fingerprints very quickly. This is a common problem with ceramic cases.
Fast charging, USB C, fingerprint scanner, NFC and much more
Mi Mix 2 boasts an excellent functional set: fast charging, USB C, fingerprint scanner, NFC and the ability to work as a USB host (OTG). However, like most modern flagships, Mi Mix 2 does not have a 3.5 audio jack, which somewhat limits its musical capabilities. A good camera with a module from Sony and optical stabilization could also be considered a plus, but the quality of the photos as a whole is slightly below the flagship level. The next version of the Mi Mix2s smartphone, which scored 101 points in the DxOMark camera phone rating, looks much better in this regard.
Still a powerful processor
From the point of view of modern hardware, Mi Mix 2 lags behind last year's top-end smartphones, but is significantly superior to budget and mid-range smartphones. It uses the 2017 eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 flagship processor, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of built-in storage (no SD card support).
MIUI proprietary shell
The system and any resource-intensive applications either fly or work stably. This is thanks to the good optimization of the MIUI shell, which continues to develop in parallel with Android and adds many useful functions to the system, such as an energy manager or a gesture control system. Performance problems can only arise when running particularly demanding games like PUBG.
