Device Overview
The Xiaomi Mix Alpha 2 is a concept brought to life. The screen literally wraps around the entire body of the phone, giving it a 180% screen-to-body ratio. It is a striking piece of futuristic art.
Common Questions
What exactly is a Surround Display?
The flexible OLED screen starts on the front, wraps seamlessly around both side edges, and covers the entire back of the phone, leaving only a thin ceramic strip for the camera module.
How do you hold it without touching the screen accidentally?
Xiaomi uses advanced AI palm-rejection algorithms and pressure sensors under the display. The phone intelligently disables touch sensitivity on the sides and back where you are gripping it.
Where are the volume buttons?
There are no physical buttons. The sides of the screen display virtual, pressure-sensitive volume buttons that provide precise haptic feedback, making them feel like real clicky buttons.
How do you take selfies?
Because the screen wraps around to the back, there is no need for a front camera. You simply turn the phone around, look at the back screen, and use the incredible 100MP main camera to take perfect selfies.
Is the screen easily broken?
It is undoubtedly more fragile than a standard phone, but Xiaomi covers the entire device in a custom sapphire glass coating to prevent daily scratches and provides a specialized bumper case in the box.
Where is the earpiece for phone calls?
It uses 'Display Acoustic Technology', which vibrates the actual screen panel to produce sound directly into your ear, completely eliminating the need for a traditional speaker grill.
What is the software experience like?
HyperOS is customized so that notifications, battery status, and incoming messages scroll elegantly along the side edges of the phone, keeping the main front screen completely clear of clutter.
Is it just a showpiece or a real phone?
It is a fully functional flagship phone with a top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 7 processor, 1TB of storage, and full 5G capabilities, designed for those who want the absolute pinnacle of luxury tech.
How big is the battery?
Due to the screen taking up all the space, the battery is a dense 5000 mAh nano-silicon unit. It manages power well by only lighting up the side of the screen you are currently looking at.
How fast does it charge?
It supports 100W hyper-charging. However, because the entire back is a screen, it does not support wireless charging, as there is nowhere to place the induction coil without obstructing the display.
