Now a recent news from MyDrivers has made the world skeptical about the new Xiaomi Mi Mix. According to the report, the device reportedly slipped out of the hand of a customer at Xiaomi’s store in Hangzhou. The result was a disaster that not only the display but also its black ceramic body was broken.

It boasts of a 16 MP main camera with dual-LED flash and f/2.0 aperture. The camera is capable of recording 4K/1080p/720p at 30 fps and roll in slow-motion at 120 fps.
