A wonderful high-end design with full-ceramic build having a gigantic 6.4-inch display, this is the latest Mi Mix from Xiaomi. It is indeed an impressive device with 91.3% screen-to-body ratio, which is almost the same as the iPhone 7 Plus.
The sole bezel is at the bottom, the areas where we have the front camera. You must be wondering where the sensors and earpiece are…right? The company has really done something highly innovative putting its engineering muscle in action and came up with a piezoelectric ceramic driver that transforms electrical signals into mechanical energy, doing away with the need for an earpiece completely.
The standard infrared proximity sensor has the same destiny, ultrasonic technology substituted it, enabling Xiaomi to build it straight into the device, not needing any area on the bezel to be meant for it. The revolutionary design made the firm choose a “custom” 17:9 aspect ratio that implies that the software keys will leave the actual spectacle real estate at 16:9, with of 2040×1080 resolution.
A Chinese manufacturing-inspired “tenon joint design” enables the OEM to piece the device together without needing plastic, glue etc.
