Xiaomi recently introduced a new innovative, high-end phablet, the Xiaomi Mi MIX, which features a 6.4-inch bezel-less display. Now, a new leak has surfaced suggesting that one Chinese manufacturer is working on another device comparable to the Xiaomi Mi MIX.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX is surely a head turner with its attractive design and the fact that 91.3 per cent of the screen occupies the entire body of the phablet, as the company described. The company conducted a flash sale last week and it reportedly took only 10 seconds for the units to run out. That's how impressive the phablet is, but now reports have it that another Chinese smartphone maker, Huawei, is actually developing a "concept phone" that will follow in the footsteps of the Mi MIX.
The information came from Chinese site Weibo and it mentioned that Huawei is developing a "Quad-edge screen," which is something similar to Xiaomi Mi MIX. The concept phone will bear the looks of a futuristic device, with all four sides sporting curved edges. In addition, the design is said to have no borders and bezels. The report also stated that Huawei could develop this smartphone under a new brand name, but it's likely that it would belong to the Huawei Honor series, Phone Arena reported.
Huawei is not the only smartphone manufacturing company that has taken notice of how unique and captivating Xiaomi Mi MIX's design is. An image of a phone rumored to be from Meizu surfaced on Weibo. It is seen to have a display size that occupies 100 per cent of the front of the body and reports have it that this is Meizu's contender against the Mi MIX. This hasn't been confirmed though so readers should take the information with a pinch of salt.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi Mi MIX continues to sell like hotcakes, but only in China. The Snapdragon 821/4 GB RAM-powered smartphone costs about $516 and the 6 GB configuration at $590. A worldwide release date has not been confirmed but fans are hoping that the company will soon introduce the device in other markets.
