Today’s battle is quite unusual, because we are going to compare the Xiaomi Mi Mix vs Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 to see what are the differences between them. These smartphones have such strong specs like 8GB RAM and the Snapdragon 835 chipset. Check it out!

Xiaomi Mi Mix vs Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 specs: 8GB RAM and more

The original Xiaomi Mi Mix is actually way bigger than the Mi Mix 2 with a huge 6.4-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with the resolution of 1080 x 2040 pixels and a aspect ratio at 17:9. On a different note, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 sports a smaller 5.99-inch IPS LCD display but with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels. Moreover, the phone now has an aspect ratio at 18:9 which means that the device owns a bezel-less design.

In terms of hardware, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 specs are totally upgraded compared to its brother. The handset now packs a Snapdragon 835 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 821 processor in the original. Speaking of memory, the Mi Mix 2 device also offers either 6GB RAM or 8GB RAM along with three ROM choices: 64/128/256GB. Alternatively, the original Mi Mix comes with either 4GB RAM/128GB ROM or 6GB RAM/256GB ROM. Additionally, both phones don’t have a microSD card slot so we can’t expand the storage further.

Speaking of the photography department, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 rear camera sports a 12MP sensor, lower than the 16MP in the original Mi Mix. However, it utilizes large 1.25μm pixels to capture more light. For selfies, both smartphones own the same 5MP sensor at the front, but the Mi Mix 2 front camera has f/2.0 aperture, whereas its brother measures f/2.2 aperture. On the battery front, the Xiaomi Mi Mix battery is the clear winner with a huge 4400 mAh cell, while its successor only has 3400 mAh capacity.
