The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is up for its first regular sale on Flipkart and the Mi official website from today, at 12 PM IST. Flipkart is yet to announce any special offers for this sale, but buyers purchasing their handsets from the Xiaomi official website will get a one-year subscription of Hungama Music free. It must be noted the Mi Mix 2 smartphone first went on sale in India on October 17 and then again on October 24 but the available units were sold out in minutes. Priced at Rs 35,999, the smartphone falls in the "affordable flagship" category and is being seen as the company\'s attempt to break away from its usual "value-for-money" image.
Just like the Mi Mix, the Mi Mix 2 also boasts of an impressive screen-to-body ratio offering more screen without occupying a larger footprint. Because the Mi Mix 2 offers an unusual aspect ratio of 18:9, last year\'s Mi Mix came with a 17:9 screen and is longer than it is wider, much like the iPhone X. The Mi Mix 2, for your reference, is a 5.99-inch smartphone but because Xiaomi has shaved off much of the bezels, it appears smaller when in the hands. Just like the Mi Mix, the Mi Mix 2 also doesn\'t have a forehead, but only the chin. Xiaomi, this time around, has reduced the size of the chin. The front camera is of 5-megapixel is still tucked away at the bottom but, this time around, Xiaomi has managed to make it all the more concealed. It still works in a similar fashion though. When you\'re taking a selfie, you look down or simply flip the phone around. The ultrasonic proximity sensor understands that you flipped the phone, and changes the orientation of the front camera accordingly.

Mi Mix 2 has been embedded with the ultrasonic proximity sensor through the display, through the glass, and it senses when you bring your phone to your ear just like an infrared proximity sensor. Unlike last year when Xiaomi used a piezoelectric ceramic driver for the earpiece -- so the earpiece was also hidden underneath the glass - the Mi Mix 2 has a tiny slit up top that serves as the earpiece/secondary speaker. The Mi Mix 2, in addition, gets a pair of stereo speakers. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack through which means the same connectivity port - USB Type-C that will be used for audio out, charging and data syncing. Xiaomi will thankfully ship a USB Type-C to 3.5mm dongle in the box.
Also, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 comes with top-of-the-line specs including a 2.45GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, clubbed with 6GB of RAM. It comes with 128GB of internal storage which is non-expandable. The dual-SIM phone supports 4G LTE, NFC, and USB OTG. On the software side, the Mi Mix 2 comes with Android Nougat-based MIUI. The Mi Mix 2 is backed by a 3,400mAh battery which is non-removable. The Mi Mix 2 also supports Qualcomm\'s Quick Charge 3.0 and ships with a certified fast charger in the box. On the camera front, the Mi Mix 2 comes with a 12-megapixel rear camera with Sony IMX386 sensor assisted with phase detection autofocus, 4-axis OIS, and dual-LED (dual-tone) flash. The rear camera is capable of shooting 1080p and 4K videos at 30fps.
