On August 10th 2021 Xiaomi held an online press event for releasing their new premium flagship the Mi Mix 4. The fourth iteration of Mi Mix lineup comes with a few good features. Lets see this phone brings what to the table.
Over time, Xiaomi has become one of the most reputable brands in the tech world. From the beginning, their main focus was on affordable products. And they delivered affordable yet durable products to their customers too. Aside from that, they have shifted their focus towards other product lines. For example, mi laptops, mi bands, mi box, mi drone, mi WIFI, and mi TV are the most famous product lines from the Xiaomi Brand. They also spend countless hours developing mi scooter, mi smart fans, and mi trimmers.
No matter which item sold in the past, it is ensured to have the most durability possible. That is why people love their products. With this loyalty of the huge fanbase, they have become a developing company now. They spend billions in developing new technology for their phones, wearables, and other product lines. Their under-display camera is a new technology from their research labs. The Xiaomi mi Mix 4 comes with this technology. Although the company has shown a prototype in late August 2020, they are releasing the mainstream product now.
Design
A tech enthusiast cares about the specs and configuration mostly. But an average consumer looks for design first. The Xiaomi mi Mix 4
has a ceramic unibody which strengthens the structure of this phone. Corning
Gorilla Glass Victus covers the front display. This design makes the phone
durable as well as feels ultra-premium in hand. It follows the design language
of the mi 11 ultra and takes it up a notch. If you spend the bucks, this phone
will not disappoint with its design.

The ceramic body will feel ultra-premium with a glass front. The full-screen design with curved sides makes this phone one of a kind. The owner of this device will also feel the same holding it in hand.
Display
When you look at the official photos from Xiaomi, the display will attract you first. Almost 99% screen-to-body ratio, the uninterrupted front end is there to make you feel special. A 1080p+ resolution with 400ppi ensures a seamless viewing experience. The display has a 120hz refresh rate along with 480hz touch sampling. This spec will ensure the smoothest gaming experience.
The main attraction will be the full-screen viewing experience.
As it is the first mainstream Xiaomi phone working under-display technology,
you can be a little bit skeptical. We have seen devices like ZTE Axon 20 with
the same technology. But the overall viewing experience of that device was very
displeasing. The camera module seems prominent when you look at the display from
a slight angle.
Xiaomi has outdone ZTE with their CUP technology which ensures the least light diffraction. Therefore, you can barely see the camera housing unless the phone is head from a steep angle.

When you will experience the best quality pictures, the Micro Dimond Pixels, Re-designed Circuit array, and Specialized Subpixel circuit will cover the camera lens.

Camera
Xiaomi’s phones never disappoint in the camera department. They have good camera hardware and software to back their claims to provide the best from every single one of their products. In this case, it is no different as you are getting a 108MP ISOCELL sensor in the back along with a 13MP ultra-wide and an 8MP periscope zoom camera.

The 100MP sensor is 1/1.33” that provides the highest contrast and the sharpest photos. For low light photography, there is pixel binning technology to enrich noise reduction. It also has OIS for those smooth photos and videos. The ultrawide angle camera has a 120° field of view. It also has autofocus built-in with the help of a free-form lens. The telephoto camera has periscope technology with OIS. You can easily take 5X optical zoom or 50X digital zoom without losing the picture quality.
For crystal clear
selfies, Xiaomi has introduced a 20MP CUP camera. It has a size of 1.6μm and
4-in-1 super pixel technology. Thanks to the CUP technology, the display arrays
will not interfere with the picture quality. After all, you are paying for a
premium offering from Xiaomi so, you should experience premiums from this
device.
