Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha 2 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha 2 - dream concept

The original representative of the Mix-line of the Chinese company Xiaomi with Alpha-index amazed the imagination with its design and manufacturability, being more a kind of greeting from the future than a real product for a wide audience. Actually, the incredibly high price tag has become one of the obstacles to launching the model into mass production. The other obstacle was, as it turned out, creating an even more impressive sequel.

The exterior of the new item almost literally repeats that of its predecessor. However, now the display covers almost all four sides of the body, the strip reserved for the quartet of cameras is even thinner. The total diagonal of the AMOLED screen is 8.4 inches with a preserved resolution of 2250x2088 pixels. The picture surprises with brightness, contrast and lack of any frames. The in-screen fingerprint scanner remains, and the image refresh rate is increased to 120Hz .

Technical characteristics have significantly improved performance. The extraordinary power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 processor , 12 / 16GB of RAM and the Adreno 660 video adapter will be sufficient for most resource-intensive tasks even after 4-5 years, support for 5G networks has appeared. A high-quality cooling system makes phone heating unimportant even in resource-demanding applications. The volume of internal storage of 256 / 512GB of UFS 3.1 format also makes it impossible to doubt that the phablet belongs to the premium segment.

The photographic abilities are also brought to the ideal. The combination of 100-, 16-, 12- and 5-megapixel photo modules, led by the latest sensor from Samsung, is also characterized by optical stabilization and 3x zoom, which will eliminate noise and reduce detail even when shooting at night. Thanks to the virtually 360-degree AMOLED display, these same cameras can be used for fantastic selfies. The battery capacity has grown to 4900mAh , providing about 7-8 hours of active screen time, which is very good for a huge AMOLED panel. There is fast charging at 50W , its wireless counterpart at 20W. NFC contactless payments and the frequently updated MIUI proprietary shell also add to the list of the gadget's advantages. The disadvantages are the general fragility of the device, the lack of a separate headphone jack and the mediocre sound of the only sub-display speaker. As a result, users will definitely like the device and find its buyer, even at the highest price.
