Xiaomi Mi Mix

Xiaomi Mi MIX - Bezel-less Competition begins

Xiaomi

Xiaomi Mi MIX, This is what the future of smartphones looks likes,  While it's being called a "concept phone," it's actually for sale for the shockingly low price of $516. Forget about buying it, though—Xiaomi is selling the Mi Mix in China only. Even if you could pay a premium to import it, it sadly lacks important LTE bands for service in the US. 

This is what we're used to, but it's not necessarily ideal. The screen is the only "useful" real estate on the front of the phone, so really everything that isn't a pixel is wasted space. Engineering realities mean we use the bezels for components both inside and outside the phone. But if we can find a better spot for those components that allows us to make the screen bigger, there's a potential improvement there.

If you're going to build a "family tree" for the Mi Mix design, past smartphones from Sharp would definitely be in there. In 2014, Sharp Aquos Crystal, one of the few Sharp phones to escape Asia and make it to the wider world. After the mid-range Aquos Crystal, the design moved to higher-end devices with the Sharp Aquos Xx and Aquos Xx2.

An external earpiece is a major justification for a top bezel on a phone, and it's totally gone in the Xiaomi Mi Mix. There is still an "earpiece speaker" of sorts, but it's on the inside of the device. Rather than slap a speaker on the other side of the display, the company came up with something it calls "cantilever piezoelectric ceramic acoustic technology."
