Mi MIX Alpha: It became "available" on Tmall.com with a price of € 127.500!

Today this Mi Mix Alpha found in Tmall.com to be sold at a price of 999.999 yuan ( $ 139.889 / € 127.500).

ΠA few days ago, Xiaomi released the futuristic Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha with 360 ° surround screen. The mobile is a concept smartphone and is not a mass-produced product. It is a premium, luxury mobile for a very small audience.

The company brought the prototype to a small number of stores in China, so that people can see it up close so that they have a sense of the future of mobile telephony, a few days ago. Today the mobile was found on Tmall.com with a price of 999.999 yuan ($ 139.889 / 127.500 euros). The price of the mobile is 19,999 yuan ($ 2.814) so ​​the price given by the store is logically for booking and not for purchase.

But the "Buy Now" and "Add to Cart" buttons are active, which means you can buy the smartphone with the aforementioned pricing. We do not think anyone makes the mistake of getting the mobile - the very expensive mobile - fifty times higher and as the sales counter in the store shows, no one has tried so far.

We will wait until the price drops to the normal amount of 2.600 euros.

Mi Mix Alpha - Features

The Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha It has a screen on all 4 sides, with a thin vertical stripe on the back left for the cameras.

The front screen folds to the back, surpassing the waterfall screen and bringing a second screen to the back, for the first time on a Xiaomi phone. The futuristic design is unique and reminiscent of a science fiction concept. Status icons such as the network signal and the battery charge level are displayed on the side.

The volume keys are now pressure sensitive and below the screen on the side of the phone. Xiaomi claims that the screen to body ratio is greater than 180 percent !!!

The Mi MIX Alpha uses Samsung's new 108 megapixel photo sensor, which was developed jointly with Xiaomi. As with Samsung's other high-resolution sensors, the pixels are combined in 2 × 2 squares for better light sensitivity in low light. The generated images have a resolution of 27 megapixels.

We need to see how this works in practice. The 1 / 1,33-inch sensor is unusually large for a phone and will logically give the Mix Alpha tremendous light collection capabilities. There's also no need for a selfie camera - just turn the phone upside down and use the back of the screen as a mirror for the 108-megapixel camera.

As for the "traditional" specifications of the phone, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, 5G connectivity, 12GB RAM, 512GB storage, 40 W fast charge and 4.050 mAh battery. The battery does not seem to come out day with such a screen.

Concept Phone…

Like you we mentioned in a previous article, Xiaomi describes the Mi MIX Alpha as a "smartphone concept" and is not going to mass produce it. The phone will go into small-scale production this year and will be released in December for 19,999 yuan, about 2560 euros. The first Mi Mix also got the title of "concept" and was released in small quantities. The next model, the Mi Mix 2, announced a year later was a more mainstream device in the premium category. Can we wait for MIX Alpha 2?

We do not know what issues the phone has in terms of durability, battery life, random contact recognition, privacy and so on. The cost is simply outrageous.

On the other hand we see the mobile phone of the future. Xiaomi after the double presentation last year of Oppo Find X and Vivo NEX S, decided to take the reins of the pioneer mobile designer again, a first started by the first Mi MIX.
