Xiaomi has just unveiled the Mi Mix smartphone, an impressive new device that sounds a lot like Apple's rumored 2017 iPhone.

We've been sharing tantalizing information over the past few months about what the 10th anniversary iPhone will look like. Reports have suggested that Apple plans to go with an all-glass enclosure, embedding things like the earpiece, sensors, and Touch ID right into the display. Additionally, there have been reports that Apple is investigating ceramic for the body of the phone and that it could have a strip along the bottom that houses core components.

Today, Xiaomi announced the Mi Mix. It features a 6.4-inch display, an edgeless design, and a 91.3% percent screen-to-body ratio. Ultrasonic replaces the infrared proximity sensor. Ceramic is used for the device's back, frame, and buttons. Mi Mix also boasts a ceramic acoustics system.

The smartphone uses a 2.45GHz Snapdragon 821 processor and has up to 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone's battery is 4400mAh in size and supports Quick Charge 3.0.

The rear camera is 16MP with phase detect autofocus. The phone has a 192Hz / 24-bit DAC chip for high quality audio and it appears to support dual SIMs.

Pricing and Availability:
The Mi Mix is set for release next month with a starting price of a $516 for 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The higher end model costs $590 and has 6GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and 18k gold accents.

Looks really pretty. Also looks like a terrible idea. Very difficult to hold without pressing the screen.

You wish! iPhone would have to pull a Lumia in order to die.

Nokia was once the biggest mobile seller... The others are doing more for less at the moment. The iphone 6s was the last iphone i have ever bought. I regret so much buying it in the 1st place... imo, the last good iphone made was the 5S... after that its just garbage... i miss steve... And android this days looks so more advanced then this limited iOS... the only way to make it a bit fun its by jailbreaking it but even that we need to wait on the good will of someone to jailbrake it and releasing it to public. Sucks balls...

After the 5s, iPhones since have continued to take major steps forward and continue to give what users wanted and this was since Apple asked early iPhone 5 buyers what they wanted in the next iPhone, and the recent iPhone finally gave out long awaited features that make those who reviewed it say that this is the best iPhone they ever owned (so far). I still have my 5s as a backup, but I deeply love my 7. It's hard to go back to the very old models for me now. That's how satisfied I am!

Looks badass. Too bad it has Android on it.

It won't be called iPhone 8 pendejos. It's gonna be plain iPhone or iPhone X. Like I said before it's been done for the iPad dropping the number.

gamerscul9870 - October 25, 2016 at 8:07pm

The iPads are more resembled towards being in ways like the Mac based on names compared to the iPhones that to this day with different size choices still have numbers as names.

Does it have a headphone jack? If yes I buy!

matrixmaniac - October 25, 2016 at 5:13pm

Looks like that iPhone 8 that is supposed to be revolutionary and totally redefining the smartphone actually won't be! LOL!

gamerscul9870 - October 25, 2016 at 8:04pm

Seems like we're all going to listen to someone who is just another someone attempting to predict exactly how future iPhones are and be so right about it even if they're proven wrong. Oh wait, no we're not! LAWL

Looks promising

Concept? Availability?

Ke.x - October 25, 2016 at 5:03pm

Read the article. It's supposed to be available next month

This phone is so beautiful! I was thinking of getting v20 now I have second thoughts.

odedoo1 - October 25, 2016 at 3:38pm

I'm also starting of thinking to get one, it's totally beautiful and the iPhone 7 is a total disappointing this year, I'll take my jailbroken 6S any day over the 7 and yes even if they will come out with a jailbreak for the 7 it's still a disappointment of an Apple upgrade from the 6S, so why not have some fun and try something different this year and this one is just awesome.

gamerscul9870 - October 25, 2016 at 8:02pm

The 7 wasn't that much if a disappointment to me even if you still need jailbreaking just to tweak the software your own way. The 7 did step up some aspects that satisfy my needs.

Things like losing the headphone jack? Ehat features does the 7 has that are REALLY that important that the iphone 6 doesnt have???
