Xiaomi Mi Mix taken apart easily, but the screen may be hard to swap

03 November 2016
No glue has been used and most components seem easy to replace - except the most important one.

    divis200, 03 Nov 2016Are you stupid? This phone is the size as most 5.5" phones.... moreMi MIX - 6.4 inch, 158.8 mm x 81.9 mm

    Mate 8 - 6 inch, 157.1 mm x 80.6 mm

    Note 7 - 5.7 inch, 153.5 mm x 73.9 mm

    So NO, this phone isn't the same size as a 5.5, 5.7 or even a 6 inch. So please stop spreading the BS. In say the normal Galaxy S7 body they could probably fit a 5.5 inch screen which would be great.

        Anonymous, 03 Nov 2016probably because they wouldnt be able to fit the internals ... moreThey would. Just not the giant battery that they probably need to power that big screen. Everything else if fairly standard except that ceramic speaker and the mini selfie cam. But they want to show off and you can't show off a 5.5" screen even if it does touch the sides. Plus it is a concept. They might want to see what this will do before making it compact which means more chance for overheating and other space constraint problems.

          AnonD-491921, 03 Nov 2016IT is a concept phone and ceramic is easily bendable than glass.Go to your bathroom and see if you can bend one of the tiles on the floor or wall. Then go to your kitchen and see if you can bend your coffee mug. Then go online and find out that that's just normal ceramic and that MIX has 8.5H rated ceramic.

          Then kindly go f yourself lol

            Most will end up using a case which will end up as a 'thin' bezel...

                    Is it foldable like the Mi5?

He wants a similar phone with 5.5" display, what's your problem with that?! True there's almost no bezels, but 5.5" in such a design would be a world apart, in terms of in-hand feel, from this 6.4"

                        Just in regards to the last paragraph about splitting the screen from the frame, you most likely don't. Its probably just like the Xiaomi Mi3, you purchase the screen and frame/chassis as 1 assembly:

Maybe a few milimeters to the left or up. You have no problem with 5.5" phones, so you won't have any problems with this either.

                                Finally a modern phone with an easiy replaceabe battery. Batteries are typically the first to go. I.E. not "completely die" but certainly lose their capacity to keep as high charge.

                                It's so great that swapping the battery is so easy on this phone. Despite its insane specs it's around $500 too, insane value for money for a flagship.

                                Now all I have is to find a friend who will visit China soon. It literally is my dream phone this year.
