Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S Unboxing & Hands-On By GadgetMatch

Hi I'm Michael, Josh and you're watching gadget match this week in Shanghai China Xiaomi announced the successor to its near borderless smartphone. This is our me mix, 2's, unboxing and hands on all right. This is exciting. It's actually our first time to unbox a mix phone and, as you can tell by the box, this is Ciao Mas, most premium line. If you flip the surrounding box'll, see that the mix 2's has 8 gigabytes of memory and 256 gigabytes of storage. Ok, let's start! First, let's take this lid off, and you'll find a letter from Xiaomi founder and CEO lei Jun.

Unfortunately, we can't read Mandarin if you guys know what it says, leave a message in the comment section below: ok, let's see what else is in here a USB cable, quick charger, and we have the mix 2's in white over here. But let's set that aside for now and see what else is in the box ooh another box manuals, headphone jack, 2, USB, adapter, sim ejector tool and last, but not the least a white case to match the white phone. It really has a nice matte texture to it, and it's soft enough, but not like a jelly case. That's it like any other Xiaomi phone, no headphones in the box. Ok, now, let's get to the phone.

Let's peel this off. Look at that screen, no, not chokes. Let's flip this over and, as you can see, the biggest difference is the dual camera is now found on the mix line 2. You also have NFC here at the back and the fingerprint sensor. Ok, let's peel this thing off, — wow, so pristine, it's made of the same ceramic back, I've used on the mix and me mix -.

Okay, let's try this case on perfect fit. It adds just a tiny bit of bezels around the sides, but that's ok. Protection is important. It actually looks and feels really nice with a case on and doesn't ruin the design of the phone. Let's power on the phone and roll spec sheet.

Xiaomi, wasn't the first one to do this, but they were the folks that made a borderless phone go mainstream now Xiaomi says the mix: 2's represents their dedication to cutting edge technology and top-notch design, no pun intended in 2018, where almost every new smartphone has a notch. It's refreshing, the C's Xiaomi stick to this form factor and why? Wouldn't they? Despite everything, we've seen so far? It's still one of the most beautiful phones out there. This form factor won a ton of industrial design awards that Xiaomi is really proud of the compromise. The selfie camera is still here at the bottom. That's to keep the top bezel as seamless as possible.

If you don't take a lot of selfies, this shouldn't really be a problem, and if you do, you can always rotate your phone like so the only time this would be. An issue is when you use a selfie camera for video calls or Instagram stories. Unlike the mix to the mix, 2's will not come in a special edition. Unibody ceramic versions: instead we're getting 2 colors by default, black and white Xiaomi says the ultimate vision for the mix line is for your phone to be an M blemish piece of glass and the black version is the closest we have to the future. No, not ch, no bezels.

Even the front camera has a black coating to make it look seamless, but we really like the white version. Even if the front camera sticks out, it's a refreshing sight in a sea of black phones, it's less of a fingerprint magnet, and it matches outfits so much better too. Now one complaint users have about notch. Phones is that sometimes the notch blocks content one may be playing a game or watching a video. That's not the case on the mix.2's videos fill up the entire screen as long as the app supports taller aspect ratios, one caveat though Netflix doesn't work on all me: UI versions. It doesn't even show up on the Google Play Store and that's a shame, because the viewing experience on the mimics 2's is pretty great.

We love our Netflix other than that. Xiaomi kept the same. Lcd from the previous generations: it's not the brightest we've seen, but it's bright enough for use under the Sun. Like many new phones this year, the biggest upgrade on the meme X 2's is its camera. Not only does the mix 2's have dual cameras, it's also now equipped with a.

Although the unit we have doesn't have final software yet, so we weren't able to test features like scene detection and dynamic both. Having said that, here are what initial photos look like versus its predecessor, the mimics. To essence, photos are noticeably better. Camera focuses faster, colors are more accurate images are sharper without being over sharpened. Selfies are also not as mushy as before.

Let's still the sore point of this phone, it's still too tight for our liking, making group selfies almost impossible. Low-Light has always been a weak point for Xiaomi phones, but improvements can now be seen on the mix, two S's main rear camera. The second camera on the meme x2s is a telephoto lens for those zoomed in shots portrait mode on the mix.2's actually works surprisingly. Well, when you open the camera, app squares will appear that detect faces and determine the cutout, even in challenging situations where you have a busy background or if your subject is backlit or when you have longer wavy hair. The mix, 2's does a good job.

Here are more sample photos we took around Shanghai, even if the mix too got a high photo score of 101 DXO mark gave it a lower 88 for video performance, which is usually the case for a lot of smartphones. Even with oh, is video shot on the mix.2's can still be a little shaky, but we really liked how well the built-in time-lapse feature works. Battery life on Xiaomi phones is usually what we're most impressed with, and the mix 2's is no exception. After a whole day of taking photos and videos checking emails, writing and a lot of social media, we still managed to get a little above 5 hours of screen on time and if you need to top it up, the mimics to us now supports Shi. Wireless charging and Xiaomi will also start selling its own wireless charger.

It charges at a maximum of seven point: five watts a little slower than Samsung's, but like any Xiaomi product, you can get it for a fraction of the cost at just ninety-nine Chinese won or about fifteen US dollars. So is the mac stew s your gadget match if there's one thing we're sure off at this point? It's that the mimics two s is proof. The Chinese seven year, reputation of building high quality products for less is here to stay. The Xiaomi mimics two s will be available in China starting next week, and prices start at just under three thousand three hundred and one we're just waiting for the final software to roll out in the next week or so, and then we'll proceed with our full review, and I'll tell you them until that time happens.
