Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is an important smartphone for the company this year, as it not only succeeds the popular Mi Mix flagship but also competes directly with the established players in the premium segment like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the LG V30. The phone comes with upgrades in the external as well as internal department to ensure that it meets the requirements of a 2017 flagship. The Mix 2 is no longer a concept phone, rather it’s meant to be your choice in the premium flagship category.

The Mi Mix 2 is now noticeably smaller than its predecessor, making it easier for every day operations. The phone continues with a ceramic body as the Mi Mix but ditches the 3.5mm headphone jack on top. This isn’t surprising since even the earlier launched Xiaomi Mi 6 didn’t feature a dedicated headphone jack. Further, the bezel at the bottom of the phone is now smaller than before, making more room for the display. But the top bezel is a bit thicker than its predecessor. Also, at the back, you’ll find that the camera is protruding unlike the Mi Mix which didn’t have a camera bump.
Rest of the design aspects have remained more or less the same. Check out the Mi Mix 2 vs Mi Mix comparison in the pictures below.
