XIAOMI MI MIX INNOVATION OF THE FUTURE

XIAOMI MI MIX INNOVATION OF THE FUTURE

New sales records for Xiaomi, sold out in 10 seconds
According to a report by Xiaomi Today, the Mi Mix has broken all of Xiaomis sales records and sold out in about 10 seconds. The reigning champion had been the Xiaomi Note 2, which was launched alongside the Mi Mix. The Note 2 was sold out in 50 seconds. In the coming months, Xiaomi is limiting the production of the Mi Mix on 10 000 units per month.





A new challenge from Xiaomi to the rest of the smartphone market

Its no secret that Xiaomi was born from inspiration taken from other brands. Weve always been able to see Apples influence on the design of their models. It wasnt only exclusive to Cupertino either, there are some hints of Samsung in the Mi5 and Note 2..


Even now, the system they run on their devices, MIUI, has stepped away from its iOS roots to use some quick access ideas that feel a lot like Touchwiz. Little by little. The Chinese manufacturer, born to conquer the world, has been gathering ideas from others and molding it to their own style.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix recycles the idea of a mid-range phone released in 2015, manufactured by Sharp, the Aquos Crystal. This curious device came and went from store shelves without making any sort of splash. Yet, the same idea in the hands of Xiaomi has become innovative and futuristic. In reality, Xiaomi has only empowered a frameless screen but thanks to this, it allows their users to dream.



The most remarkable feature of the Mi Mix is that the display takes up 91.3 % of its surface. The corners of the display are also rounded, which further improves the screen edge. Since there isn’t any space above the display, the front camera has been moved to the bottom, similar to the Aquos from Sharp.


The proximity sensor has also disappeared. In order to turn the display off, the Mi Mix uses a surprising piece of gesture recognition technology developed by Elliptic Lab. Thanks to an ultrasound sensor, the device is capable of recognizing distances between objects, including whether they are in motion or not - the same way bats orient themselves in complete darkness.

The speaker also comes with a special type of transmission emitted through the display. It passes through the solid components of the device directly to your ear without going through air first. Its similar to what we saw at the IFA on your wrist.

The design may not be completely original but the device, as a whole, is something special. Even OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei congratulated, in his own way, Hugo Barra (Xiaomi Vice President) on his device.
