        options are good, no complain here
        now I'm waiting for side notch

          Fadli, 02 Apr 2019Don't they always have chin? Then why do they use "notch" o... moreYou don't make any sense. At the top, there's notifications on the left/right of the notch, but on the bottom there's a button in the center, too, so you'll still have to extend above the chin, and the corners will be empty. If phones had only side button on the bottom, then it would make sense, but otherwise you'll still have a button band above the notch and nothing on the sides of the notch.

Still: I got the mi2 myself and it was above average for the low price. But da*n poor against the (mostly double the price) more expensive cometition. But surely, the mix3, even mix2s and every phone that was released after mix 2 had much more competing cameras on board. Still, the mix2 had much better cameras than any xperia phone before xz2, and even now the cameras of any sony phone is alike that of the mix2 at best. It's not "fair" judging down the mix2 (again: from 2017!) being the last xiaomi phone running a single cam setup WITHOUT google software behind it but it's also right that xiaomi uses another setup nowadays that competes with the biggest on the market. But isn't that just usual "evolution" (that sony, HTC and some others fail to implement?)

              It seems like XIAOMI's trying to make the notch less noticeable by placing it on the bottom of the smartphone eh? Not gonna help much to be honest, as these looked much more disastrous as compared to the usual notches we see in my opinion. Sure, it's a patent, but that doesn't mean that I should not take it seriously. Believe or not, maybe they'll release a smartphone with that kind of notch in the near future, who knows?

                    useless broo

                      Why this patented? Why? OMG

                        I just wonder when will phone manufacturers start making non-protruding rear camera phones again?

                          Don't they always have chin? Then why do they use "notch" on the bottom if they have chin?

                            Imagine the Poco F2 with a notch on the bottom, people would be with forks and torches at Xiaomi headquarter in a matter of minutes.

                                      Anonymous, 01 Apr 2019they want to patent that, so just in case other maker will ... moreI think they will really use this patents for mi mix 4
                                      Since older mi mix already had that 'weird' selfie camera on the bottom
                                      And for the second one it is really not bad
                                      Just remember how we felt when the notch was first introduced
