The Mi Mix Alpha’s so-called “surround screen” wraps around the device, extending to the camera module on the back side. According to Xiaomi, the phone has more than a 180 percent screen-to-body ratio. Status icons including network signal and battery level are featured on the side of the device, while pressure-sensitive volume buttons appear on the side as well.

Letting go of physical side buttons, both sides of the device are pressure-sensitive areas, which in combination with a linear motor simulate the touch of real buttons. #MiMIXAlpha pic.twitter.com/7sKrZdi19I

The Mi Mix Alpha utilizes Samsung’s new 108-megapixel camera sensor, co-developed with Xiaomi. The technology allows for pixels to be combined in two-by-two squares to improve low-light shooting. The phone has no traditional selfie camera, as the back of the device has a display, similar to the front of the phone.
