Looks like Xiaomi plans to unleash the full arsenal of its flagship Mi line products this year. The Chinese tech giant recently held a media round-table where it teased the products that will possibly be launched this year. The tech giant equally announced the return of its Mi sub-brand to the Indian market and shared some details about the Mi-banded products that we may see in the year. The most interesting part is the unveiling of the premium Mi MIX Alpha.
The Mi Mix Alpha was only showcased at the event and details of the launch, availability and official pricing wasn’t revealed. That means the tech giant isn’t planning to launch it in India soon, obviously due to the mass production difficulty. Xiaomi did provide a rough estimate regarding the possible pricing of the MIX Alpha at about Rs 2.5 lakh. Thus, the Chinese company likely has plans to release the Mix Alpha in India in the future. 
The Xiaomi Mix Alpha utilises a flexible OLED with a plastic finish to create a unique 4D surround display. It offers an impressive 180.6 percent screen-to-body ratio. This new display also features a brand new display acoustic technology to get rid of the earpiece. The technology also works as an ultrasonic proximity sensor for the smartphone. If there is any confusion, the display does curve and wrap around the sides to continue on the back.

The back houses a uniquely designed triple-camera setup aligned vertically. The device holds the record as the world’s first smartphone to feature a 100MP+ resolution camera sensor. This is made possible by using the Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX 108MP camera sensor at the back of the device. The 108MP primary sensor on the Mi Mix Alpha is ultra-large with a 1/1.33″ sensor. The second sensor is a 12MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and the third, a 20MP ultra-wide-angle camera lens with 117° FOV. This setup also supports 1.5cm macro photography. Other features of the setup include a four-axis OIS, Laser focus, and a flicker sensor. There is no selfie camera but you can flip the rear camera and use the rear display as a viewfinder for selfies.
Xiaomi is yet to disclose when the MIX Alpha will be launched in China or anywhere else.
