Introduced in India. This is the second flagship of the company presented in this country, after . As usual, after the release of a Xiaomi smartphone on the Indian market, global firmware for it appears. So we have good news for owners of a frameless flagship; yesterday it became possible to download global firmware for Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.
Probably many will be disappointed, because this is still not MIUI 9, the global firmware is based on MIUI 8.5. A feature of global firmware is the presence of Google services and many languages.
Where to download global firmware for Xiaomi Mi Mix 2?
The global version of the firmware for Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 can be downloaded from the official MIUI website via the link. The firmware weight is 1.5 GB.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 has a 5.99-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and a resolution of 2160x1080 pixels. Responsible for performance Snapdragon processor 835 with 6/8 GB random access memory. The internal storage capacity is 64, 128 or 256 GB. Photo and video capabilities are provided by a 12 MP main camera with a Sony IMX386 sensor and a 5 MP front camera. Battery capacity 3400 mAh.
From year to year, a huge number of potential and not so potential buyers complain about stagnation in smartphone design. It is already difficult to surprise someone with a curved screen, a self-healing coating, or two screens.
One thing that stands out among these design solutions is the frameless body. The fact is that this is objectively the only feature that the user accepted without rejection. This is not surprising, because everyone wants a gadget with the largest possible screen while remaining compact. It must be understood that such a design does not imply a complete absence of frames - such a solution would be impractical and would make the device catastrophically fragile.
One of the first smartphones that shared this concept was the Sharp Aquous Crystal, equipped with extremely thin frames around the display on three sides. Let me remind you, it was 2014. However, due to its rarity and completely ordinary technical characteristics widespread this model I didn't receive it. 
Until recently, no one had brought something more worthy to the market than Sharp. And then Xiaomi decided to try its hand, which has recently been pleasing us with interesting prices. But in this case, the frameless design alone was not enough. 
The smartphone was named Xiaomi Mi Mix and gained resounding success among netizens. There are rumors that the first printing sold out in a matter of seconds, but this does not guarantee anything.
