Back in September last year, Xiaomi had announced the Mi MIX Alpha concept smartphone, getting much attention because of its unique surround screen technology that covers the majority portion of the device.
Earlier this year, in January, during a business conference held by Xiaomi Group, it was revealed that the Mi MIX Alpha is ready for mass production. Today, at Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, the company reportedly showcased the smartphone with few upgrades.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha is priced at 19,999 yuan in China which roughly converts to $2,883. However, the smartphone is not yet available for purchase in the company’s home country and we are anticipating more information on this.
The upgraded variant comes with support for full dual-mode 5G with SA/NSA connectivity and is now powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. When first announced, the device was powered by the Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset.
