This is a halo phone, not for everyone even the flagship crowd. It is to showcase a company's design and engineering capability and how innovative it is relative to competitors. Samsung and Apple are still at the concept stage while Xiaomi already have a product ready.
Unless you have the deep pocket and upper-class friends to show off to there is no reason to get this phone. Xiaomi is losing money on every unit so it is price the way it is. Something to admire and to talk about but not actually buy.

Why bother making a super expensive concept phone? Just make it with a waterfall display like Vivo and Huawei, 108 mp camera, big battery... and profit.

The side part of screen is easily broken. The rear screen is awkward and not practical. I'd rather have the front and back screens of Nubia Z20 which is more practical to use. Only the 108mp camera is good in this phone. Hell, even foldable phone is better than this.

You are all forgetting the most important reason for why this phone was created, this article has only been out for 4h and already there are over 100 comments here, financial success or not, this device is more interesting than any other phone announced this year.

I remember three years ago when Xiaomi released Mi Mix,it was a Concorde moment in smartphone industry.Design was out of this world.Xiaomi never meant to mass-produce it.They made only 10 000 units,for demonstration purposes only.Alleged price was thousands of $$$.In just a few days,few hundred thousand people were ready to buy one.Couple of weeks later,there it was,onAliexpress,for about $750(SD 821,4/128 version).I hope Xiaomi will do the same thing again,production in millions,for helluva lot less than $2800.. Come on, Xiaomi,you've built a stunning device,now make it affordable for milions..

It was a final product that was made in 2014.
Also 2nd and 3rd devices in 2015.
If it was just something to show screen and sell to other, nobody would take 2 years after that to use it.
Also you do not need special screen for it. For example the prototype that became Xperia 10 exists before Sony released Z series.
They had 4 special body styles. One is called Y, the corners of frames meet and form a Y shaped connection. Second became Z5c, the third became XZ and the fourth had glass frame and became 10/10+.
Nodoby else but Sharp did this mono bezel style in 2014/2015 because nobody wanted too.
Look at mi8. It is an iphone with miui.

People who thinks 3 times of buying USD250-300 phones need not apply. People who buy these niche phones doesn't think twice.
