Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 Hands-On Review: A stunning sequel

This is our Mi MIX 2 Hands-On Review.

Get the Mi MIX 2 from GearBest:

Last year Xiaomi unveiled what is widely considered to be the world's first borderless smartphone. They called the original Mi MIX a concept phone, a vision of what the smartphone of the future would look like. The Mi MIX 2 is that phone's successor – not just a concept phone anymore, but a phone for everyone.

But is it your GadgetMatch? We flew to Beijing, China to find out.

I would love for this phone to come to America. I would buy it. Such an awesome device and this review is awesome

[TechLineHD]

Hopefully, the camera will be better on the Mix. Great video!

[BenzTronz]

[jtaylor]

Really well presented video Michael, keep up the good work!

[sam.mangat]

Does it have IR blaster on top similar to other Xiaomi phones?

[mrevoix]

After this was announced I decided to go for the first mix. Way bigger display for movies and gaming. Only complaint is the camera, and the power button is too close to the volume rocker

[Chillllkroete]

Hey guys, could you review the Elephone P8 and even compare it to other great selfie cams like the Zenfone 4 S P or the Oneplus 5?

Oh and when would the video for the Zenfone be online? :)

[Entizinho]

9 seconds ago? How would i catch this without notification? Lol

Dude, thanks for a great review.
Looking forward to a full review as you mentioned.
Please review the call quality in particular, I'll be using it for lots of calls - after all it's got dual sim stand by. But don't say it's better than the first version, use reference of other phone for comparison purpose.

Also, need testing for internet browsing & download speed after multiple tabs opened

Youtube video streaming test too, would be great.
Curious about refreshes when switching between apps.
Almost purchased Oneplus 5 due to speed, smoothness, no refreshes when multitasking
But hoping that Mi Mix 2 would be the right one for me this time.

[RandyOr]

So the front facing camera does not work with Instagram or Snapchat?

[she]

This is soo perfect match for me! Here in the philippines Its 5, 000 - 10, 000

[jericyutan]

Please do a video review/ hands-on review/ unboxing of Xiaomi Mi A1 once it is out. Thanks GadgetMatch love love

[IntricationZ]

4:37 Is that the Android Authority guy?

[Shabab-_-]

04:20.. 2 Dual Cameras? A bit Overkill 😂

[timothybrown]

So many choices, I still favor the LG V30, but I love the varying devices.

Side-note, I need to travel more.

[jayempreem]

Oh my God Chay Lazaro, I like you so much. <3 <3 <3

Best hands on!
