The Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha was presented in September of last year, being by far the most revolutionary smartphone ever in terms of design. With a screen that covers practically its entire surface (front and back). It was a smartphone that many thought would never see the light of day.
After promising that Mi MIX Alpha was ready to go into production, there were many delays that raised more and more doubts about its arrival on the market. However, Xiaomi India has announced that it will be available in some of its physical stores.
Despite being a fantastic smartphone and a true work of art, Mi MIX Alpha does not present itself as a smartphone for daily use. Its revolutionary design makes it impossible to use a protective cover or even tempered glass.
Furthermore, it does not matter whether the smartphone is on the surface or in your pocket, as there will always be a good part of the screen vulnerable to various types of accidents.
Considering the investment that should be around $ 2,500, this level of vulnerability will certainly make many users even more hesitant to purchase Mi MIX Alpha.
