Along with the Mi Note 2, Xiaomi has unveiled the Mi MIX smartphone. Mostly considered as a Chinese brand that apes Apple, this time around Xiaomi has developed a phone with the help of the renowned French industrial designer Philippe Starck. The genius has been known for designing the minimalistic Tic & Tac clock. To achieve a seamless outlook, Starck has removed the earpiece from the device. For the propagation of sound, the Mi MIX uses a piezoelectric ceramic driver that works through the glass. In other words, it does not require an opening. Xiaomi has also replaced the regular proximity sensor with ultrasonic technology. The front-facing camera has been moved to the bottom. This has enabled the Chinese-company to drastically reduce the bezel size. Thanks to its full ceramic body, the Mi MIX looks quite impressive.

The device has 4 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage. There's also a 6 GB RAM variant that comes with 256 GB internal storage. To please the shutterbugs, the phone offers a 16-megapixel camera. It can record 4K resolution videos. For selfies, there's a 5-megapixel front-facing snapper. The dual-SIM phone is compatible with 4G VoLTE. Other features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, USB Type-C, NFC, and 4400 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0.
