"Xiaomi Mi Mix" has been surprisingly launched by the manufacturer during its event to launch "Mi Note 2". The phablet has got rave reviews and considered it as an original work and it could be fighting with premium smartphones of major companies. Xiaomi Mi Mix initially got released in China and expected to release in North America soon, as the company executives hinted the same.

The 6.4-inch Xiaomi Mi Mix is designed with the help of French designer Philippe Starck and it has a bezel-less screen, which means that the screen covers almost the entire phone. The phone comes in two variants, the base model is of 4 GB RAM and 128 GB internal memory and the premium model is of 6 GB RAM and 256 GB internal memory and the later has 18-carat gold embossing. The prices of the devices are $510 and $590 respectively in local currency, reports CNET.

It uses a new technology called "piezoelectric ceramic actuator" instead of speakers to deliver the calls due to the bezel-less screen. Xiaomi Mi Mix has palm rejection system on its screen to avoid accidental touches while holding it. The back camera of the phone is 16 megapixel and there is a fingerprint scanner also spotted. The phone with black ceramic body looks stunning and would attract users with its built quality. The battery of Xiaomi Mi Mix is 4,400 mAh and the device has Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 enabled in it, cited by CNBC.

While comparing to Xiaomi Mi Mix Google Pixel XL screen size is 5.5-inch and users may find it comfortable in holding it. But people who wish the larger screen would choose the former. The display of Xiaomi Mi Mix is PS LCD capacitive touchscreen with 2K resolution and 362ppi pixel density, whereas Pixel XL has HD AMOLED screen with 534ppi, reported by The Guardian.

Also, the operating system of Xiaomi Mi Mix is Android Marshmallow, but for Pixel XL it is the latest Android 7.1 Nougat. Pixel XL has 12.3 MP rear camera and has 4 GB RAM; it also comes with either 32 or 128 GB storage. It also features a front camera of 8 MP, whereas Mi Mix has 5 MP front camera.

When it comes to the misses, Xiaomi Mi Mix could have better front camera considering the selfie fans. Though it claims 4K resolution it is delivering only 2K in reality, while Pixel XL claimed to have the option to shoot 4K videos. Both the phones are not water proof; also Pixel XL doesn't display too much hardware innovation.

The verdict of the phones should be according to perception. People who wanted a premium phablet at an economical rate and best in class hardware can go for Xiaomi Mi Mix. People who would like to choose the real Android platform and Android Nougat experience with Google's own brand can go for Pixel XL.
