review of Xiaomi s Mi Mix
Hi guys so Xiaomi s just been pumping out mobile phones have it now they veeven created now their own gaming brand of mobile phones and this is the firstmodel this is called the Black Shark so it s powered by Snapdragon 845 withadreno 630 GPU it has six to eight gigabytes of RAM 64 go outs of storageor 128 now I ve got the 64 gigabyte model so here s the optional control andthey re the slots on to the top so it s going to be connecting up via bluetoothbecause there are no connections on the top there it seems very lightweight thatbox and you can see we do have some little triggers on the side of it andhere is the black sharp and you can see that its logo that s gonna be throughouton this mobile phone so a bit of gamer bling of course it s got to have thegamer black the red or the green like all gaming devices in case youquestioned whether it was a gaming device or not okay so this little slipon the top here that says you re a gamer let s shark alright so here s the phoneand that is huge it s not actually as heavy as
I thought it was gonna be sothat s a good thing it s got a protective slip over it there so firstimpressions it definitely looks gamer you because you can see around the edgeshere that green now there s that switch I think it is for the gaming modes youjust switch that up or down it s got a little bit of a texture on there and wedo have the dual SIM trader on the side so at the top there you can see the dualLED flash dual tone we ve got the two cameras here so one 20 megapixels, one 12 nowit s got this area here is like a plastic this is well like have a matteplastic but the build quality of this says excellent actually feels reallygood in hand not bad at all and not as thick as I thought it was going to beI ll measure the weight and the thickness of it in just a second so youcan see down the bottom here it says black shark obviously and then we havewhat looks like two speakers perhaps were probably actually one of these willbe the microphone the type C port there these are the antenna strips so thistype C port has another green accent in there just to remind you again that it sa gaming device so we ve got some volume buttons therethey re made out of metal and the power on button that does feel really goodcurved edges but excellent build quality no problems whatsoever with this so ahome button, slash fingerprint reader there on the front taking a closer lookat the cameras I can tell straight away that this does not have optical imagestabilization I don t think it was actually advertised I was not expectingit and there is that s logos so it s not as offensive as I thought it was gonnabe the press images made it look like that this cuz was gonna be like somesuper hyper fluorescent green that s gonna stand out but it s not as bad as Ithought so 198 grams and this is probably why itdoesn t actually feel that heavy to me because I m used to a very similarweight with the Xiaomi mimicks 2s they re almost identical so thethickness comes in at nine point five five millimeters there is really nothickest point there is no camera bold it doesn t actually stick out any morethan the rest of the mobile phone.
so one thing, I ve noticed too that, because ofthe way they ve styled us that it maybe feels a little bit better when you reusing it in landscape mode here just gives a little bit more grip it does notfeel slippery either which is good so let s take a look at what else we getinside the box I think there s a case in here and least I m hoping there is so inthis area here we ve got the Sun tool and yes there s the case so it s justone of those well bumper style cases here so it s just going to go around theoutside protecting the edges cutouts there for all your ports form thatlittle switch at the top and of course it s branded there with black sharkso that just clipped on very easily and it almost looks like it is part of thephone so it s not giving too much protection really it s gonna cover theedges here but it looks like it s not really going to protect the screen ifyou light down flat it s not going to actually raise up there because it sit s lying flush with the screen edge there and it s not gonna protect alonghere but all the corners and things are protected at least from drops so that sone good thing there and you can still access that switch the gaming mode andthen the power and volume buttons easy as well so we also get like a QuickStart Guide there that is in Chinese and here we have just a warranty card thingand they have included a screen protector which is great so here we havetwo other little boxes on here so in this compartment is actually labeledpower adapter in English, see here it is so this should be a Qualcomm quickcharge one and the maximum output there is 12 volts 1.5 amps a black type C 2USB cable and also a type C 2 3.5 millimeter adapter and now thecontroller of course if you re interested in checking this one out seethere it is you can see and it s got a rubber textured little thumb controllerand that is very light that only seems to weigh like a 20 grams or somethinglike that there is a button right here what looks like an LED within it andthere probably should be a type C port on this to charge it okay there we gothat is up the top and there is a little button here so this must be I have therelease button when you clip it on it looks to be actually there s like amechanism in there you can just see there so that s how it s going to latchinto it so that must be those little dimples either side to keep that clippedon that was on the case and at the top here one little button there and twotriggers now they re not an analog trigger trigger this one is just digitalto straight on and off the same with the top button there so you can see if youwant to use the joystick you must use that case because otherwise it s justnot gonna stay in place and will fall out oh and the back of it it says BlackShark and it s a textured rubber so this gives quite a bit of grip to it so itlooks like they ve used quite a large dpi here and here s the programs we vegot installed on this it doesn t seem to have a lot of bloatware normally withthe xiaomi phones they crammed on a lot of chinese stuff that s completelyirrelevant to people outside of china so first have a look and see what s askingfor permission locations just to go into settings that s interesting so here wego about phone running Android 8 Oreo so it s only 8.0 I was expecting hope forthe 8.1 now there could be some patches coming out for this it s got some joy UIbuild as the first one as well so that s the uija this is using this is not me UIthis is joy UI which is something completely different here now they vegot room down the bottom on the bottom bezel to have hardware keys here andthey do have them but just they don t light up so that s good to see sothere s a recent apps back of course and then tapping this will take us home soyou can see the memory use on first boot here we get free 4.2 gigabytes so that splenty Android is taking up 1.8 let s have a look at its storage to this beinga 64 gigabyte model not a lot of free space there we ve already used 12.6 soI ll quickly test out the fingerprint reader and that s pretty quick but notthe fastest actually there bit of a see a delay of about one second you can seethat s definitely not as fast as my me macstew is perhaps some optimization isneeded there but I mean that s not bad at all it s literally what about underthat s definitely under a second at least so here s the end to to score veryvery good score here this is really high for an Android device but it s notreally that much higher than the show me me mix 2 s with the same exact chipsetso they more or less got the same performance so you would have noticedthat the case has these two little indentations here these tiny littledimples there s actually where the handles going to clip on so the joypadwill clip into this show you now so you just gotta line them both up and itslots in you will hear a little click and that is on there that is reallysolid that s not to go anywhere because it s got their whole case around it sothat s supporting it keeping that locked on you can hold it one-handed there it svery rigid and it does feel comfortable but this is definitely not Xbox 360 Xboxone or ps3 4 controller comfortable yeah it has small it s designed to beportable of course so you can see a little light here so that s belowbecause I ve paired this up with bluetooth of course it turns red whenyou re charging and then it will turn I think it was green or blue once fullycharged it does not take long at all to charge
