Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha with Surround Display and 108MP camera launched in China for Rs 2 lakh.Xiaomi today launched the new Mi Mix Alpha, the new 5G-enabled Mi Mix series device at an event in China. The smartphone has a unique form factor where the screen of the device doesn’t just curve at the sides but goes all the way to the back, giving a screen-to-body ratio of 180.6 per cent.
The Mi Mix Alpha uses a flexible screen to provide a Surround Display experience. There are no bezels or the volume buttons on the sides.
