- Xiaomi showed off gorgeous concept videos and renderings of a smartphone called the Mi Mix Alpha last year, which had a screen that wrapped almost all the way around the phone.
- We quickly forgot about it, considering smartphone concept rarely come to fruition, but Xiaomi made a working, functional version of the Mi Mix Alpha, and it looks stunning.
- Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee of the MKBHD channel got to hold and use the Xiaomi Mix Alpha, giving you the best look at the concept and what can be possible in future smartphones.
- $4.
We got our $4 of Xiaomi's Mi Mix Alpha concept $4 with a wrap-around screen in September 2019, but we were limited to renderings and videos, and there was little hope of seeing what an actual Mi Mix Alpha would look and work like.
Fast-forward to late February 2020, and Marques Brownlee of the $4 got a hold of a real-life and functional version of the Mi Mix Alpha.
Xiaomi faithfully brought its concept to life, and it surprisingly looks just as amazing as the concept videos and renders we saw, which proves that a phone with a wrap-around screen is totally possible.
