Xiaomi's latest first sword is now officially presented. The third version of the Mi MIX family is here. And as we already knew in advance, it is about Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S. This mobile, which escapes the typical Notch that many companies have wanted to contribute to the design of their new models, includes improvements and offers a fairly competitive price.
Xiaomi is already a brand that is present, at least in Spain, physically. Carry 4 stores installed in Spanish territory and it seems that the intentions are going to increase that number considerably. That said, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S was one of the most anticipated teams in recent months. And it has finally become official. We explain its technical characteristics.
Large format screen and continuous design
To begin with, we will tell you that the design has not been groundbreaking compared to previous models. That is, a large format with a 5,99-inch diagonal screen and Full HD + resolution. In addition, and as we mentioned at the beginning, it dispenses with the typical "Notch" that the iPhone X and the Essential Phone made fashionable and sends the front camera to the small frame at the bottom of the chassis. And speaking of the chassis, it has a glass and ceramic finish, so the feeling in the hand is of being in front of a premium team. Although as we will see, reasons are not lacking
Power and different RAM and storage options in this Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S
Meanwhile, the Qualcomm star could not be missing. And if Xiaomi wanted to try to scratch something off the cake, it should do it this way. Therefore, we are facing a model that will equip the Snapdragon 845 processor. To this is added that there will be several versions - as is customary for the brand. And that both RAM and storage will go hand in hand. That is, there will be 3 versions to choose from:
- 6 GB of RAM + 64 GB of space
- 6 GB of RAM + 128 GB of space
- 8 GB of RAM + 256 GB of space
As you can see, It will be a powerful terminal that will have nothing to envy the rest of the competitors in the sector. Now, as a negative point - if in the end you need more space - in none of the cases will we have a slot to use memory cards. But as you well know, there are other alternatives: cloud-based service or external space in the form of USB sticks.
Photo camera with enhancements to rub shoulders with the competition
It is true that there are elements in which Xiaomi has not fallen. However, he did have to bet on one of the star features of recent times: a double camera on the back. And this Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S carries it. More specifically we are talking about a distribution equal to that of the iPhone X. And it consists of two 12 megapixel resolution sensors (one from Sony and one from Samsung). The result is being able to play with the images; get the "dear" bokeh effect and be able to apply effects to all our captures.
Meanwhile, on the front, the camera that the Asian team has has a sensor 5 megapixel resolution and it will be focused for selfies, video calls and to be able to recognize ourselves at the moment to unlock the terminal and be able to start using it.
Battery to match and wireless charging
We believe that Xiaomi never disappoints. And a sample is this Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S. The Chinese firm knows what elements to integrate into its teams to attract attention. And another of the elements that are being a star in this year 2018 is the power to charge smartphones without the need for cables. East Mi MIX 2S supports wireless charging. And, yes, if you were wondering: Xiaomi will also sell its own wireless charging mat.
Also, its battery reaches 3.400 milliamps capacity to give you a reasonable autonomy and day to day. And if all this were not enough, equip QuickCharge 3.0 fast charge. So in a few minutes we would reach a notable increase in energy capable of withstanding the last pull of the day. Be careful, this in case you are always an intensive user.
Operating system and connections
It was also mandatory in this version of the Xiaomi Mi MIX family to bet on the latest version of Google's operating system: Android 8.0 Oreo. And it does so with a new version of its MIUI 9 custom layer. Meanwhile, we are facing a team with the possibility of using a dual SIM card; you get NFC technology; supports next-generation 4G networks; that it has a fingerprint sensor on the back and that its charging port is USB-C type.
Availability and prices of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S
Finally, tell you that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S will be available, first of all, in its native country. What's more, it has been known that it will reach the rest of the markets —It is clear that with the brand's commitment to its physical stores, Spain will be one of the destinations. And the prices that have been leaked - be careful, we are talking about conversions - are the following:
- 6 GB of RAM + 64 GB of space: $430
