The rapid evolution of smartphones has created high expectations for that ‘wow factor’ moment with each new device.That’s why other than better performance, global players have been striving to achieve innovative design, such as better materials, and thinner bezels.

The release of our first generation Mi MIX, followed by its successor, Mi MIX 2, sparked a “wow” across the world.

Our Mi MIX phones combine modern day minimalist design with traditional ceramic craftsmanship. Designed in collaboration with renowned French designer Philippe Starck, the MIX series has given everyone a glimpse at what a true “full-screen display” is — making sure your attention is fully focused on the screen and that there are no distractions.

Mi MIX 2 is also a mix of east and west, of the past and the future, reflected in the design choices in terms of materials. While ceramic is a material that has been worked on by potters since predynastic times, it is also a material that is applied in one of the most high-tech industries: the semiconductor industry. We have over 1000 high-tech components housed inside an ancient material. The mix of elements, seamlessly merging old and new, is a challenge but is also where the beauty of Mi MIX 2 lies.

We are honored that these unique design elements have been recognized by some of the world’s most prestigious design awards and museums: National Design Museum in Finland, Center Pompidou in France, and Die Neue Sammlung -the Design Museum in Germany, in some cases, marking the first time a phone has been added to their permanent collection.

We can say our phones are so beautiful, they are a work of art!
