Xiaomi continues to accelerate the wave of hype around the upcoming announcement of the Mi Mix 4 smartphone. Yesterday the company showed a nostalgic video in which it told what a difficult and thorny path it had to go along the path of the development of the Mix line of flagships.
Lei Jun still has to talk about this in detail at the upcoming presentation on August 10, and in order for users to become even more excited with the triumph of the moment and realize how much effort was spent on creating an almost perfect smartphone, the company published a teaser with concepts that were never implemented.
It is difficult to understand something in detail from the images. You can only see Mi Mix Alpha among the concepts, and it is also obvious that the efforts of Xiaomi engineers and designers were sharpened to maximize the display area and the most popular idea was to radically bend its edges to the side edges of the device as much as possible.
The head of the company, Lei Jun, also contributed to fueling interest in the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, who said that the new product embodies the vision of future technologies. It is also a product āborn for a dreamā and the company has done everything to offer the best device in the Mi Mix line. Lei Jun also promised that the smartphone will work stably and will not disappoint the fans.
