REVIEW
rounded edges, which results in a softer, less boxy
design. Mi Mix 2 remains prone to fingerprints, but no
way would you believe this was a phone that costs
less than £500.
You’ll find two tiny antenna lines hidden away
on the top and bottom edges, along with a USB-C
port, a mic and speaker grilles. There are no physical
buttons on the front, but you can access home, back
and multitasking buttons at the base of the screen,
or tuck them away from view so you must swipe up
to see them. But the Mi Mix has always been more
about what it takes away than what it adds.
Forget the ‘notch’ on the iPhone X, or the slim area
atop the screen on the Galaxy S8 and LG G6. The Mi
Mix 2 – and the Mi Mix before it – has no top bezel.
There is a bottom bezel, so it’s not strictly bezel-less,
but it is the closest we’ve seen yet.
