REVIEW

enamoured with the new camera bump. But the Mi

Mix 2 is still a fantastic phone: significantly faster than

its predecessor, and much better looking. Better still,

it’s as affordable as ever, making it a great alternative

to other Android flagships – provided you can either

live without or cope with having to set up Google

services yourself.

In the Mi Mix 3 we would love to see Xiaomi’s

dual-camera implemented, plus a higher-resolution

screen. Waterproofing and wireless charging would

also be good shouts. Marie Black
