Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S Scores an Impressive 97 on DxOMark, Equals iPhone X's Score



Mi MIX 2S has been unveiled as the new flagship smartphone of popular Chinese brand Xiaomi in its home market. As expected, the company has avoided the iPhone X-like notch with the Mi MIX 2S display, retaining the bottom panel position of the front camera, but has gone with the vertical dual rear camera design. The Mi MIX 2S sports a ceramic body, is curved on all four sides, and supports Qi wireless charging. It also comes with a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel, with Xiaomi clearly eschewing the in-display fingerprint sensor that fellow Chinese company Vivo recently brought to the masses with the X21 and X20 Plus UD smartphones.
The company is also touting the use of AI features in the camera app, giving users such capabilities as 'dynamic Bokeh' and scene recognition. The smartphone also supports Google's ARCore. The smartphone also comes with its own voice assistant. Finally, another highlight feature is real-time translation of text including instant currency conversion.

Mi MIX 2S price, release date

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S price starts at CNY 3,299 (roughly Rs. 34,200) for the 6GB RAM and 64GB inbuilt storage variant, going up to CNY 3,599 (roughly Rs. 37,300) for the 6GB RAM and 128GB inbuilt storage, and CNY 3,999 (roughly Rs. 41,400) for the top-end model with 8GB RAM and 256GB inbuilt storage. It will be available in Black and White colour variants. Of course, the Mi MIX 2S price in India is not yet known, and fans will have to wait for the handset's launch in the country to find that out. The top-end model will be bundled with a wireless charger. The wireless charger has been priced at CNY 99 (roughly Rs. 1,000). Pre-bookings open today, March 27, while the smartphone will go on sale from April 3.

Mi MIX 2S specifications

The dual-SIM (Nano) Mi MIX 2S runs MIUI 9, and bears a 5.99-inch full-HD+ (1080x2160 pixels) in an 18:9 aspect ratio and with a pixel density of 403ppi. It supports the DCI-P3 colour gamut. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC coupled with the Adreno 630 GPU, and either 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM.
The smartphone bears a vertical dual rear camera setup in a design that looks very similar to the iPhone X, with the flash in between the two lenses. It has two 12-megapixel sensors with 1.4-micron pixels, with one featuring a Sony IMX363 sensor, f/1.8 aperture, wide-angle lens and four-axis OIS, while the other features an f/2.4 aperture and a telephoto lens with optical zoom. The AI-based scene recognition is said to recognise up to 206 scenes. Other AI features include dynamic Bokeh, smart artifact, business card recognition, face recognition, and more. The company is touting the presence of dual core PDAF on the rear camera. Xiaomi is also boasting of receiving a 101 score on DxOMark Mobile rankings for photos, the same as the iPhone X.



Xiaomi's Mi MIX 2S was announced at a launch event held in China earlier on Tuesday. The phone, although avoiding the front-facing notch, sports a vertical dual rear camera setup similar to the one on the iPhone X. With a combination of two 12-megapixel sensors that have four-axis OIS and optical zoom, the camera performance is expected to be premium. According to camera review website DxOMark, the Mi MIX 2S has scored an impressive overall score of 97 - on par with the iPhone X and Huawei Mate 10 Pro. The phone also received a score of 101 in photography and 88 in videography.
Titled "Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S: A Chinese gem", the DxOMark review of the Mi MIX 2S went live on the date of the phone's launch. The relevancy of DxOMark's camera reviews is high mostly because the publication performs extensive tests in areas like low light, bright light, flash, and zoom to find out how smartphones display their true colours, quite literally, in photography and videography. According to the photography review, Xiaomi's Mi MIX 2S performed exceptionally well in areas such as autofocus and exposure and contrast, while it failed to impress in zoom shots and images clicked with Bokeh effect.

Avengers Infinity War: Here’s why Thanos will arrive in Wakanda to fight the Marvel superheroes

As the release of Avengers: Infinity War comes closer, the excitement mounts. The release of Marvel’s biggest film to date will likely be a huge event in itself. This film is the beginning of the end of the conflict that began with The Avengers when Loki came to earth with the Chitauri army. We learned that it was Thanos who sent him. But now, the Mad Titan has had enough of underlings. He is now coming to finish the work (which is destroying half the universe but he calls it “balancing the universe”) himself and to get the Infinity Stones. Reading further may spoil the important plot point in the movie for you. One of the Infinity Stones is Mind Stone which is stuck onto the head of Vision, the  Android  being that is half Ultron and half Jarvis and now a superhero. Vision was given birth in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Fans had guessed, correctly as it turned out, that the Lord of the Rings style battle scene as glimpsed in the Avengers: Infinity War trailer was being ...
