We have seen it in the rumours and were more than surprised to see it launch at Xiaomi’s Mi Note 2 event. We are talking about the Mi Mix, Xiaomi’s concept phone with a bezel-less design which was announced only for the China market. Turns out an online store that has listed the smartphone with the best screen to body ratio. And yes they do deliver to India.
Yes, Gearbest has listed Xiaomi’s concept smartphone on its website in both the 4GB RAM 128GB storage model and the 6GB RAM 256GB storage model. The website has only listed the smartphones for now, with no date of arrival, but the site will notify you when it arrives in stock.

First reported by GizChina, the website also notes that the handsets on sale at Gearbest will work on FDD LTE bands B1 / B2 / B3 / B4 / B5 / B7 / B8. So do have a look at the bands your operator supports before taking the leap. Another point to note is the warranty of the device, considering that Xiaomi has no plans to bring it to India.
The Mi Mix features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset (Daydream compatible) with 4GB/6GB RAM and is available in both 128GB and 256GB options. There is a 16MP PDAF rear camera and 5MP front facing camera. Apart from the usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, there is also full NFC functionality with a high-precision GPS module.
