Xiaomi Mi Mix hands-on: real-life concept phone

2016-11-28
hey everyone this is Jake with the Virg and we're taking a look at Shoney's me mix which is this insane phone that I'm holding right here which as you can see has a display covering almost the entire front of it show me is calling this a concept phone which is because it is supposed to try out new ideas but obviously is not a concept phone because I'm holding it right here and it works and it's actually even on sale in China right now the phone has a six point four inch display with a 24 T by 1080 resolution that's a little bit over 1080p because it actually has a 17 by 9 aspect ratio which is a little bit wider than usual it looks really cool though in effect the size of the phone still ends up being pretty big even though there's almost no bezel just because it's a six point four inch display but if you're already okay with big phones then you might not mind it this is the iPhone 7 plus which has a 5.5 inch display you can see it is just a tiny bit smaller than the me mix is even though it has about an inch less display on it which is pretty crazy if you're somebody like me though who's used to tinier phones then you're still not going to be able to handle this very easily the mimicks has a ceramic body that feels and looks fantastic at least until you notice just how bad it is at picking up fingerprints this thing gets disgusting pretty quickly and there's almost nothing you can do about it but put on a case fortunately show me include one with it which is kind of okay it removes the effect of the edge-to-edge display a little bit which is sort of a bummer but at least it covers up all the gross fingerprints the specs on this thing are basically as high-end as you're going to get it has a Snapdragon 820 one processor four gigabytes of RAM hundred twenty eight gigabytes of internal storage if you pay more there's actually a higher-end version with six gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of high-end storage the version also has gold plating around the fingerprint sensor on back and around the camera as you can see we unfortunately do not have that version in but that sounds awesome at the very least both versions this camera have a 16 megapixel rear sensor and a 5 megapixel front-facing sensor which is maybe the only low end thing about this otherwise ludicrous phone but you're probably paying attention to the quality that much because the selfie mode actually has this ridiculous and maybe slightly offensive feature where it tries to guess whether you're male or female and how old you are we've seen it get both of these things very wrong on our own all of our tests basically so it's kind of fun in some circumstances but also just like probably a really terrible idea the mimics is on sale right now in China you can get it elsewhere but it is expensive I thought for like 800 or so dollars online and the bigger problem is that it's sound networks are designed to be used in China so you're not really gonna be able to get full functionality out of it everywhere else even though this isn't getting a kind of wide release like that though it is still wild to see show me toying with an idea like this concept phones and mock-ups have been trying to get that edge to edge to edge display thing going for years now and it is wild to see a company finally make one that gets really close to that I'm 22 years it's fluctuating between 21 and 22 years old it says I'm a male which it did not always get correct earlier but it has my age way off let's see mark it sees your face but it doesn't have a guest hmm I have a guest for you yet
