Xaiomi has created a concept smartphone named the 'Mi Mix Alpha,' which is the newest edition of the company's Mi Mix line. The concept smartphone features a "surround screen" design, which is a screen that goes around the entire device. Xiaomi has indicated that it will produce the device in limited quantities, which will go on sale in December for a price point of $2,800.
The sides of the device are part of the huge display, and they show battery levels and the network signal. Underneath the sides of the screen are pressure sensors that can be used to adjust the volume. The camera sensor was developed in conjunction with Samsung, and it can capture 28-mega pixel pictures in darker environments.
