I'm dancing for with the verge and this is the new gemiini mix 2s which doesn't look a whole lot different from last September's me mix too now it shares many of the same features and overall design but there's three new things to talk about here it's got a new processor it's got wireless charging and it has an all new camera system it's got a five point nine nine inch 18 by nine LCD panel with full HD plus resolution it's got qualcomm snapdragon 845 processor you can get it in up to eight gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage it runs Xiaomi's me UI software it's up to version 9.0 and this one is based on Android 8 and it is available in China starting next week and then OB in Johnny's other global markets following later on in the year the me mix 2s has wireless charging through its ceramic back which is new and nice to have it also has wired quick charge 3.0 charging through the USB C port now there isn't a headphone jack here but there wasn't a headphone jack on the last model either so that's not really much of a surprise the biggest change this year is definitely the camera system it's a new dual camera system unlike the single camera on last year's phone it's - 12 megapixel sensors there's a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens like you might find on the iPhone 10 or the samsung galaxy s 9 plus the wide-angle lens has an all new sensor with larger pixels on it and dual pixel autofocus so better faster focusing and hopefully better performance and low light while the telephoto lens is pretty standard comparable to other telephoto lens cameras of course there is a portrait mode here that Joey says uses new AI features to separate the forefront from the background or your subject from the background as well as to optimize the colors for the scene I'd love to see how well that works in practice as Yummy's won a lot of awards for the Munich's twos design so it's not really a surprise to see them use the same basic design for the me mix 2's you get that really big screen and almost no bezels all the way around it it's an LCD panel it's not AMOLED like you might find on other phones but it stills pretty bright and vibrant and really looks pretty nice to my eyes the weird part of course is that the front-facing cameras in the lower right corner of the frame which makes it kind of odd when you're taking selfies you're basically supposed to flip it over upside down so that you can take a normal selfie but other than that it's a pretty great looking phone of course the new camera is you know familiar looking but it's kind of nice to see that Jamie's actually added the dual cameras to the me mix line and of course because it's as yummy and it's a flagship jamming phone it has the latest and greatest processors and internal specs that you can get in terms of battery life the battery is the same it's a 3400 milliamp hour battery but Jamie says that because it's using the new snapdragon 845 processor they're getting better performance without any hit to battery life so you should expect about the same battery life as the name x2 this is definitely one of the nicest phones from jomi that I've ever used and it'd be really great to see them expand this to other parts of the world that they haven't been selling yet but they're still really no story on when we're gonna find that out the new mix 2's is available in two colors you can get it in black with it's pretty sharp looking white model that I have here and pricing is going to convert to roughly $500 u.s. depending on how much RAM and storage you get in there it's gonna be available in China starting next week and then Jimmy's gonna roll it out to its other global markets in the coming weeks after that fund unfortunately it's probably never gonna come to the US for more on the Xiaomi me mix 2s be sure to check out the verge calm and sure to subscribe at youtube.com slash the verge for more on the Xiaomi me mix 2s be sure to check out the verge calm and sure let's do that without cracking my voice
