Earlier this week, Xiaomi introduced its fourth generation Mix series smartphone, the Mi Mix 4. It brought CUP Full Screen Technology on board with top-notch specifications.

But did you know that the Mi Mix 4 had one more exciting feature, an anti-lost mode using a virtual SIM?

Unfortunately, the company has announced that it’s forced to disable this feature.

The Mi Mix 4 has a built-in virtual SIM card that can help locate the device even if it has no SIM card. However, the feature had to be removed due to non-compliance with national regulations (China). According to the official statement posted by Xiaomi on Weibo, the technology hasn’t been approved for application in mobile phone products. Further, the company has also apologized to its users for removing the anti-lost mode.

The Mi Mix 4 also brings the deep binding of the SIM card and the handset. This feature disables the smartphone in case someone replaces the SIM card. Further, it allows you to force shut down the smartphone to make sure your data is secure.

Apart from these features, Mi Mix 4 brings many exciting features, including Adaptive Signal Optimization and Manual Signal Entry. The Mi Mix 4 comes with a unique interior metal case that acts as an antenna amplifier. Moreover, it features 19 inbuilt antennas and supports 42 bands with signal quality optimizations for 8 different scenarios.

Another exciting feature is Point and Control Always On UWB. Xiaomi’s Always On UWB technology allows users to connect to any compatible smart home products by simply pointing at them. There are lots of other unique features of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 that you should know.

The Mi Mix 4 features a 6.67-inch curved OLED panel with a 20MP camera under display. It is powered by Snapdragon 888+ coupled with 8GB/12GB of RAM and 128GB/ 256GB/512GB/1TB of internal memory.
