Not so impressed by the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 or Mi VR? Well, Xiaomi continued to push boundaries with their fully ceramic Mi MIX concept smartphone utilizing a single block of ceramic and edge-to-edge display. Designed in collaboration with designer Philipe Starck, the front camera has been moved to the bottom and a number of sensors have been updated to work with the new fully ceramic build.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX offers a unique 6.4-inch edgeless display with full ceramic body for still fairly affordable prices

Featuring seamless connectors, the Mi MIX does not use glues, plastics or other adhesives and even the buttons are made from ceramic. Obviously designed for the premium crowd there is also an 18K version with 18K gold rims around the camera and fingerprint sensor complete with a leather casing.

Imagine that, a phone with no glue or plastic?

The Mi MIX will be priced from 3499 CNY (RM2151) for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage version while the Mi MIX 18K will go for 3999 CNY (RM2458) for 6GB RAM + 256GB storage. They are available for pre-order in China but will be officially available starting from November 2016. Again, no Malaysia release dates but even if they retain these prices when they come over to Malaysia, we expect quite a lot of competition with the other RM3K priced smartphones.
