so this is one of the most requested devices from you guys - you know today they've been hitting me up you've been hitting me up Lou where's the love for Xiaomi we saw you did every other mix but what about the og what about the originator of this style that you claim to like so much that is the Xiaomi mimics and this is the new one the two 256 gigs of storage little personalized message I can't exactly understand it but I assume it's something nice somebody down in the comments can translate that for me whoa all right we are inside the package I am surprised to find out it is the North American power prong that's kind of cool Type C on one end and the classic on the other nice weight to it a promising feel in the hand as they like to say in the business oh and a case there's also an adapter cable type c2 mini jack sim card tool we have a black one and it still says something on it here mix designed by xiaomi would you look at that holy that is a fancy looking device this is about as elegant as it gets these days maximum clasp you can see the camera in this location here mix designed by Xiaomi power switch as well as the volume rocker above that the dual SIM card tray right there on the bottom you've simply got your type C port as well as your speaker that is where your speaker will live okay here we go the almost bezel is smartphone and the front-facing camera is hidden down there as well I'm gonna do the fingerprint though let's do this part lift it a few times so it prompts you to pick a theme right out of the gate I'm not sure that I mind that I think that's a good start so the display here is 2160 by 1080 it goes brighter there we go that is max brightness right there quick toggle settings are quite a bit different than what they would be in stock android they've got a white backdrop here so the reason that this back is so I mean because that's a ceramic back Gorilla Glass 4 on the front Android 7.1 out of the box it's got a snapdragon 835 and the primary camera has a 12 megapixel sensor with an F 2.0 lens the battery is 34 hundred mill amp hours and it does feature quick charge 3.0 now like other 18 by 9 devices you end up with black bars on each side it is a pretty nice looking IPS and of course IPS tech has some great off-axis viewing angles what about the speaker though okay for dialogue in YouTube that's actually louder than I expected I do want to check it with music of course oh okay you know what is pretty clean and it's pretty loud got a bit of a speaker on it let's see what we're working with here oh wow very quick response to tapping the shutter not a half-bad image either now generally speaking when you have a lower megapixel count it means greater sensitivity at least hopefully and you get a little bit more light in there so that might be more useful for some people as opposed to just having more pixels Conor McGregor as well let's try to frame him up real quick and check that one out there's Jack as well tilt shift effect a straighten effect a quick snap mode gridlines if you like there's even an option here to enhance low-light photos automatically fingerprint shutter use the fingerprint reader as your shutter button and you didn't even make adjustments to the contrast saturation and sharpness and I can go in and not just change the color temperature from warm to standard and cool also go in and change contrast from automatic I can increase it or I can go to a more standard more subdued mode in video you can trigger time-lapse or slow motion and then within the settings here you see I can go all the way up to 4k also so let's do that now so we are now recording some 4k video on the mix too so I move around here through the jungle hey grab focus whoo it does and of course I take a look at you guys horse Jack as well the friendly Jack when you trigger the selfie mode so you simply flip your phone around like this it'll frame you up just like as if the camera was a long top that's a bit of a sell feature I try the fingerprint I feel like I haven't tried it yet fingerprint oh it is the second I touch it it's I don't know it might be the fastest this the fastest I've ever tried holy it's the second you touch it that is so satisfying it's the fastest that I've ever tried the build quality is is very high-end the speaker better than I expected soft we're not close to stock I'm not too happy about that of course you could always alter that the fingerprint situation is a bit out of hand you pop the case on say good night to finger prints this is kind of soft I don't she don't mind this case there is something about this particular design here is a rectangle it's mostly screen no weirdness going on so I hope manufacturers continue to go forward with this it is worth mentioning though that this device is converted price is a little bit expensive it's over 500 bucks so that's something worth considering but I have to say my initial findings are pretty positive this type of build in the past was something you really only expected from Samsung and possibly Apple and now here it is in the me mix 2 and other phones as well but it's definitely here
