      I'm no fan of Xiaomi, but i appreciate good concepts & products, so i will admit i like what they've done here. It's brilliant and will ensure long-term use without problems that usually happened to most slider phones of old.

They've marketed this phone a lot around the sliding feature. I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't care, but I wish someone would've noticed sooner.

        I don't know how long the cable is for the Mi Mix, but my Redmi cable is only 3 feet long, which led me to buying a 3rd party cable.

They probably only see it as a flaw and despite not being affected by this, like to complain about it to bash the brand.

              common people won't use camera when connected to cable, because it's more comfortable to shoot without one.

              One question, just how often YOU use camera when charging?

                    How come there isn't a single review on the internet that mentions that you cannot slide open the phone with a 3rd party USB cable?
