Design

edit

The Mi MIX 2S featured a ceramic back and aluminum frame. The front-facing camera was placed in the right corner below the screen. The power button and volume rocker were on the right side. The SIM tray and MicroSD card slot were on the right. The USB-C port and mono speaker were on the bottom. The Mi MIX 2S did not have a 3.5mm audio jack.[8] The phone's color variants included white and black.[9] The fingerprint sensor was located on the back.[10]

Reception

edit

In reviews, the general feedback was favorable[citation needed], with critics praising the more accessible elements of it over the original Mi MIX such as worldwide LTE bands, a lower price than the original Mi MIX, a smaller display and a traditional earpiece speaker to replace the piezoelectric speaker in the original Mi Mix.[11]

Reviewers noted that the ceramic was prone to fingerprint smudging.[10] The device was also noted for its lack of waterproofing. It was also found the phone to underperform in low light compared to other similar phones. Digital Trends also encountered unusual software stability issues.[8]

In August 2017, Mi MIX 2S was awarded the IDEA Gold Award for its design.[citation needed]

Operating system

edit

Android 9.0 "Pie" was released for the Mi MIX 2S on 30 October 2018.

Android 10.0 "Q" together with MIUI 11 was released for the Mi MIX 2S by end of 2019, and on 2020 was updated to MIUI 12. In Q3 2021 MI MIX was updated to MIUI 12.5.
