hey it's Josh of agarra what's going on everybody and this is this yummy me mix to s s iterations are becoming increasingly common in the Android space and this one's kind of no different you do have a couple of key elements that are enhanced but for the most part you get the same phone from before and the good news is that this phone is actually one of the more attractive ones that we've used in terms of design you still gets at this ceramic backing which shines beautifully and it's still one of the better phone materials that we actually don't see a whole lot in smartphones and we kind of wish that we did you can already see the main change on the back and that is with the dual and setup this is a 12 megapixel and 12 megapixel camera package that is very similar to the one that you may have already seen on the Xiaomi me6 now this is a big deal because now the size of the pixels is up to 1.4 microns which should help with low-light and just on its own it should provide a little bit more detail we've done a couple of tests already with the original me mix and you'll see those in the full review but we already see a bit of an increase in detail and quality that lens comes in at an F 1.8 aperture and with the secondary lens you get a 2 X optical zoom they do use dual pixel autofocus which means that the autofocus should be faster than before now one thing that do have to mention the software on this global version of the phone overall the OS and also the camera software have not really been finalized so there are going to be some things that change between now my full review and then a follow up review that I'm going to do when I get my hands on the completely finalized unit one of those things that the new software will finalize is AI assistants in the camera basically what they're using AI for in this case is to cut out the subject in portrait mode a lot easier but also it's trying to add in the beauty modes in such a way that is not only reasonable but effective these are things that we can't really test out right now fully and we will make sure to have that ready for you with our follow-up camera review what that said me UI is now at version 9 and it has been updated to Android oh and that should mean a lot of different features have been added onto here but it still mainly looks familiar from previous me UI iterations it is the operating system that gets updated on the regular because of feedback in the forum so they're always going to be certain features that are added into here that you may not really expect for example swipe gestures that are really similar to the found on the iPhone 10 but speaking of that screen experience yes you still get the traditional meme mix full screen experience with the really good screen to body ratio it is a six inch display at 18 by 9 aspect ratio and it is a full HD plus panel it's still a lovely viewing experience and it's good to have that much screen especially on the top portions of the phone because of course the camera has been moved down to the bottom just like before having some elements beyond this bottom bar is kind of the antithesis to the knotch so that's why I think it's kind of nice to see this phone come out with this kind of motif rather than move on to the notches like everyone else seems to be doing just like before this screen is achieved by putting a very small call speaker at the top and then an ultrasonic sensor is what it uses for proximity so that when the phone is next to your face it knows that and will turn off the screen but from there we can get into the internals this is of course going to be an updated version of the me mix so it gets the latest Snapdragon feed 45 and there are still those really high specifications that you get on here with models that range from 6 to 8 gigabytes of ram and then in this case I have the 256 gigabyte of on-board storage Edition one thing to note for anyone that might be importing this phone is that the global bands are only available on the highest end model this 8 gigabyte RAM and 256 gigabyte storage model it also supports dual nano Sims and as far as the battery goes you get a 34 hundred million power battery on here that supports quick charge 3.0 and speaking of the battery one final thing we'll mention is that even though the ceramic on the back might not seem like the best place for conducive wireless charging that is exactly what they were able to do here it is adherent to the Qi wireless standard and one cool thing that Xiaomi is doing is they are going to be releasing their own wireless charger that comes in at around 17 US dollars if you're at all a fan of shammies accessories lineup because they tend to make pretty affordable peripherals then this might be one you want to look out for and the Qi wireless charging of course supported by the me mix 2s and so there you have it that's Kao Mimi mix 2 I'll be reviewing it while abroad over the next week or so and I've been looking forward to using a kind of in its own natural habitat because of course Yami is not going to be releasing this phone in the West any time soon hopefully the enhancements to the rear camera are going to be great even if the front camera is still kind of in a place that we're not too excited about but also it's a 5 megapixel shooter so it's also not the most high-powered front-facing camera but that's not really something that they touched they mainly worked on the rear camera so with that keep it tuned to Android Authority for even more about this yeah me me mix 2s and you'll be able to see some content from it while I'm out on my travels and also I might be able to show you some of the video samples from here with the caveat of course that it is not final software yet well let you know when it is thank you so much for watching and keep it tuned to Andrew authority for more and head on over to Android or t.com for all the best because we are your source for all things Android
