The “surround screen” on the Alpha revolves entirely around the device at a point where there is a thin strip at the back, devoid of camera performance. This effect appears as if the Mi Mix Alpha is made up entirely of a screen with status icons such as network signals and battery charge levels visible. Since there are no buttons on the device, the phone has pressure-sensitive volume buttons that give the user haptic feedback, just like the Vivo Nexus 3.

Mi Mix Alpha is also going to use Samsung’s latest 108 MP camera sensor which was co-developed with Xiaomi. Since the display wraps around the phone, the device does not have a selfie camera and a back camera is used to take selfies. There is also a 20 MP ultra wide lens and 12 MP telephoto lens.

Under the hood, we can see that the Mi Mix Alpha is powered by the latest Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset and comes with 12GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, 40W of wired fast-charging and a 4,050mAh battery. The phone also has support for 5G.
