Xiaomi Mi Mix

Xiaomi's Mi Mix offers very good value when you consider its meaty core hardware and generous 256GB of storage - it's a lot less than you'd pay for an iPhone 7 Plus. This isn't a phone you buy with budget in mind, however: the Mi Mix is the phone you...

Amazing, eye-catching bezel-free screen ; Huge amount of storage ; Snappy performance

Tough to get hold of outside of China ; Outdated version of Android ; Camera can’t keep up with other flagship phones

There’s nothing else out there like the Mi Mix – it’s a challenge to pick one up, but it’s guaranteed to give your phone-loving friends serious tech envy

The edgeless display on Xiaomi's Mi Mix is simply amazing, and the ceramic rear gives the phone a luxurious feel. The base model has 128GB of storage.

The phone is only sold in China and in limited quantities, and it's also Xiaomi's most expensive yet. The camera's pretty average at best and taking selfies can be awkward.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix is a glimpse of the all-screen future of phones. But Xiaomi needs to improve on basics like the camera and find a way to make more of these before we can wholeheartedly recommend it.

impressive screen, solid, high-quality built casing, dual-SIM, Miracast, USB OTG, and NFC, MIUI 8.0 with many extra features, reliable fingerprint scanner, high performance, leather casing included, long battery life

throttles during permanent load, fingerprint-susceptible casing, no headset included, non-removable battery, camera without image stabilizer, no localization in Germany, incomplete English translation, no Google services ex-factory, no LTE band 20

The highlight of the Mi Mix is certainly its unusual 6.4-inch IPS screen that is almost edgelessly incorporated into an elegant ceramic casing. Not only does its large surface look impressive, but its resolution, brightness, and contrast are everyday...

Flashy design ; Almost no bezel! ; Snapdragon 821 works great ; High storage capacity ; Great battery life despite screen size ; Software includes features Western UIs lack

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

Excellent workmanship ; Exciting (almost) borderless display ; Good performance ; Decent battery life

Both cameras are only satisfactory ; Slippery surfaces ; Fingerprint magnet ; Piezoelectric acoustic element projects sound widely

The Xiaomi Mi MIX leaves you with a general impression of high-quality. Unfortunately though, the ceramic case is prone to fingerprint marks and the smooth surface coupled with the relatively heavy weight of 209 grams doesn’t assure a secure grip and...
