Yesterday we faced the Galaxy Note 8, but on Monday Xiaomi presented us with another great phablet that certainly deserves to be considered as another great alternative to Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), despite coming from a manufacturer that became popular with cheaper mobiles. They also have a lot in common when it comes to design: iPhone X vs Mi Mix 2.
Integrated
As we have just mentioned, it is inevitable to notice an important similarity in the design of both devices, with a front in which the screen completely dominates, although in one case we have a small projection at the top and in the other a frame a little broader below. In this case, be that as it may, it must be recognized that the pioneer was Xiaomi and this time he should be free of accusations of copying Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. There are some practical differences, in any case, that are worth taking into account, such as the different materials they use (glass in the iPhone X and ceramics in the Mi Mix 2) or the different unlocking systems for which they have opted (facial recognition for the first, while the second keeps the fingerprint reader, placing it at the back. A point in favor for the apple one, in any case, is being resistant to water and dust.
Dimensions
One of the great advantages of this frameless design is that we can enjoy larger screens on smaller devices and these two phablets are a great example of this. It is true that the Mi Mix 2 it's something bigger14,36x7,09 inch against 15,18x7,55 inch) and heavy (174 grams against 185 grams), but it must be taken into account that it starts with some disadvantage. In thickness, finally, the tie is absolute (7,7 mm).
Screen
We say that the Mi Mix 2 Part with a disadvantage in the dimension section because its screen is a little larger (5.8 inches against 5.99 inches), but it must be taken into account that beyond the size, the iPhone X you have some aces up your sleeve, like a bit higher resolution (2436 x 1125 against 2160 x 1080), having Super AMOLED panels, or True-tone technology.
Performance
We will have to wait to see what the performance tests say but bearing in mind that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), promises that the A11 is 25% more powerful than the A10 we expect the iPhone X be a complicated rival to say the least. Beyond its six cores we do not know much about its technical specifications at the moment, in any case, and although it is expected that they will accompany it 3 GB RAM memory is not confirmed either, so we can only give you exact figures for the Mi Mix 2, who rides with a Snadpragon 835 eight core to 2,45 GHz and has 6 GB of RAM.
Storage capacity
With regard to storage capacity we find an absolute tie, since they start from 64 GB internal memory and go up to 256 GB, very respectable figures, although necessary on the other hand, considering that we do not have the option of gaining space externally through a card micro-SD.
Cameras
We would also like to see photo samples to compare the potential of their respective cameras, but for now and from what the technical specifications reveal, it seems that in this section the balance is indeed tilting on the side of the iPhone X, which has a dual camera behind 12 MP, double optical image stabilizer, x2 optical zoom and aperture of f / 1.8 and f / 2.4, and in front a camera of 7 MP. En el Mi Mix 2 we have a main chamber of 12 MP, with optical image stabilizer, and another front 5 MP.
Autonomy
You already know that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), nor does he ever leave us the capacity figures of his batteries, so we do not know whether or not he will exceed the 3400 mAh of the Mi Mix 2. Bearing in mind, in any case, that consumption is an equally important factor, the only way to definitively discover which of them has the best autonomy is with tests of real use, so we have to wait to pass judgment.
iPhone X vs Mi Mix 2: final balance of the comparison and price
Although we still have a lot to discover about the actual performance of the iPhone X, It is true that there are some points in which it seems that it will have an advantage, such as the screen and the camera, and probably also the power. The Mi Mix 2In any case, it is at a really high level and, as you can see, it is presented as a solid alternative.
And where we find a really important difference is when it comes to comparing prices, because the iPhone X has been announced as of $1160, Whereas the Mi Mix 2 He did it from what to change are little more than $400. It is true that after passing through importers we find figures that are closer to the $600, but the advantage over Apple's phablet is still considerable.
