To reduce light diffraction while taking selfies, the company has used a new transparent curved wiring Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) material in the circuit. All of these techniques sound similar to Oppo’s newly revealed prototype under-the-screen camera tech. But Xiaomi is the first one going to market with it. Apart from the under-the-screen camera tech, the phone also has some neat features such as ceramic unibody design, and support for 120W fast charging. Take a look at the device’s impressive specifications:
Specifications
Screen: 6.7-inch FHD+ display with under-the-screen camera tech Refresh rate: 120Hz Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ RAM: 8GB/12GB Rear camera: 108-megapixel (1/1.33″ HMX sensor) + 13-megapixel ultrawide + 8-megapixel telephoto Front camera: 20-megapixel Internal storage: 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1 (for faster read and write speeds to open apps and access content quickly) Battery: 4,500 mAh Charging: 120W wired charging; 50W wireless charging
The Mi Mix 4 also features Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) tech to communicate with IoT devices — the same tech used by Apple’s AirTags trackers. Plus, Xiaomi has included 42 antennas in the phone to boost network coverage in places like train stations and hospitals. On paper, the Mi Mix 4 will match most Android flagships launching this year. But we’ll have to get hands-on a unit to test if the CUP tech works as advertised without any glitches in real life. The device will be only available in China as of now, and there’s no word on global launch yet. The Mi Mix 4 will go on sale in China on August 16, with a starting price of RMB4,999 ($771). While Xiaomi is the first major manufacturer to debut under-the-screen tech, ZTE has released a couple of phones with it already.
