Mi Mix is a gorgeous, concept phone which is now available in Nepal. Xiaomi is already working on Mix Mix 2 which is going to have on screen fingerprint sensor. We got chance to experience this beauty few weeks ago in Bloggers meet. It is simply a fantastic phone in terms of design, power and looks. Price of Mi Mix in Nepal is Rs 94,999 and there will be very limited models.
People who pre order are getting at special price of Rs 89,999. The company knows that it is an expensive luxury phone meant for enthusiast. These handsets are available for purchase at Labim Mall and Pako showroom. The company knows that these are high end phone which will have less demand than other phones.
It has a grand near bezel-less display which is its selling point and also a risky point. The big display is very vulnerable to crack if it falls because it is mostly screen at front. We encourage to use a case for safety. It is not all beauty, it is powerful from inside also. These are the internal specs.
| Display | 6.4” 1080×2040 IPS LCD |
| RAM | 6 GB |
| Processor | Snapdragon 821 Quad Core |
| Internal Storage | 256 GB |
| GPU | Adreno 530 |
| Battery | 4400 mAh |
| Camera | 16 MP Back/ 5 MP front |
| OS | Android Marshmallow |
Hardware inside this beast is very powerful. It has got lots of storage, sufficient RAM and very big battery. There are all features that should be in a flagship smartphone. USB Type-C, gyrosensor, fingerprint scanner, compass, fast charging can be found built in. It can give more than 80% charge with 30 minutes charge.
Surprisingly it feels smaller in hand even though it has a very big display. It might be due very less bezel. Camera is also powerful because it can take 4K videos, supports stabilization and takes great pictures. Placement of front camera at bottom feels a bit weird for first time. It is a 5 MP camera with 1080p video recording capability. It also takes sharp, bright pictures.
Impression
It is a superb phone with very futuristic design. In our view, Mi Mix is one of the coolest looking phone. There are lots of feature and power but it comes with a hefty price tag. It is good to see 256 GB model in Nepali market because it compensates for the lack of SD card. Xiaomi Nepal is now providing two years software warranty with every products.
There are few competitors at this price range in market. Company has said to us many times that the high price is due to market size, import cost, tax and duties faced while importing from China. In comparison the price may seem high but there are very few phone that provide such powerful and cool phone at that price. Vatsal is selling Mix Mix 18K model which has gold rims at some parts of its body.
Mi Mix just got a price cut in the international market. Any chances of that happening here?
Sorry but not anytime soon. They may in the future but not now.
