判决
小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)是我们测试过的最好的Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)之一，尽管我们的评测是在它推出近两年后发布的。即使在 2019 年，小米 Mix 2(Mi Mix 2)仍然是任何想要拥有强大而美观的Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)的人的不错选择。此外，如果你想玩Fortnite和其他游戏，小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)是你能买到的最便宜的智能手机之一。这款智能手机的真正弱点是相机，它只有在户外拍照时表现出色，光线条件良好。对于渴望物超所值的人来说，小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)是他们能买到的最好的东西之一。
拆箱小米 Mi Mix 2
小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)采用方形深灰色纸板箱(cardboard box)，设计简约(minimalist design)。在其顶部，您只能看到印有金色的Mi徽标。(Mi)
在盒子的底部，有一些贴纸可以告诉您您购买的智能手机的确切型号。在里面(Inside)，您可以找到小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)及其所有捆绑的配件和文件。你会得到一个保护盖、一个电源适配器(power adapter)和一根USB Type-C 数据线(USB Type-C cable)、一个Type-C到音频转换器、一个SIM 插入(SIM insertion)工具、保修卡(warranty card)和用户指南(user guide)。不幸的是，包装中没有捆绑耳机。
小米提供的开箱体验令人愉快。我们喜欢盒子的简约设计，我们欣赏用于制作它的优质材料。盒子里唯一缺少的是一副耳机。(The unboxing experience offered by Xiaomi is a pleasant one. We like the minimalist design of the box, and we appreciate the good quality of the materials used to create it. The only thing missing from the box is a pair of headphones.)
设计和建造质量
小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)仅以一种颜色出售：黑色。它的主体由看起来很棒的陶瓷化合物制成。它也是反射性的，但大多数人都喜欢这样。有趣的是，由于反射，我们很难拍到好照片。🙂
陶瓷机身很漂亮，但也很容易被指纹划伤、破碎或弄脏。为这款智能手机使用保护套是个好主意。好消息是小米(Xiaomi)也考虑到了这一点，并在标准包装中包含了一个案例。你得到的表壳很薄而且很简约，但感觉很耐用。我们选择使用它是出于上述原因，并且因为它还使智能手机不那么滑。
智能手机的背面也是摄像头和指纹识别器(fingerprint reader)的所在地。相机很小，但略微突出。小米吹嘘其优雅的设计以及它用 18 克拉镀金边框装饰相机的事实。它看起来很漂亮。
小米MIX 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)的边缘是圆形的，由黑色铝合金制成(aluminum alloy)。它们给人一种优雅的感觉，也让你感觉智能手机做工精良。
智能手机的正面全是 6 英寸（技术上为 5.99）大显示屏。小米设法用屏幕几乎填满了整个前表面(front surface)，只留下了几毫米的边框。
与今天的许多高端智能手机不同，小米(Xiaomi)不想在屏幕上剪下一个缺口，我们对此非常感激。该公司更喜欢将前置摄像头移动到(front camera)屏幕(screen and place)底部，并将其放置在底部边框上。这是一个很好的方法，我们敢打赌，很多人宁愿拥有它而不是丑陋的缺口。
音量摇杆(volume rocker)和电源按钮(power button)位于通常的位置：智能手机的右上角。在另一边，有SIM 卡托盘(SIM tray)，在底部边缘(bottom edge)，有底部扬声器和USB Type-C 端口(USB Type-C port)。
小米 Mi Mix 2 是一款漂亮的智能手机，其中一个主要原因是它的屏幕覆盖了大部分正面，而且边框非常薄。然而，虽然陶瓷背面看起来也很棒。它也很滑，因此您应该始终使用这款智能手机的外壳。(The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is a beautiful smartphone, and one of the main reasons for that is fact that its screen covers most of its front side, and that the bezels are so thin. However, although the ceramic back side also looks great. It is also slippery, so you should always use a case with this smartphone.)
硬件规格
小米MIX 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)采用5.99英寸IPS液晶显示屏(IPS LCD display)，分辨率为1080 x 2160像素，(x 2160)屏幕比例为(screen ratio)18:9 ，像素密度(pixel density)相对较高，约为403 ppi。大猩猩玻璃 4(Gorilla Glass 4)保护屏幕免受刮擦和跌落。
该智能手机由高通 MSM8998 Snapdragon 835(Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835)芯片组提供动力，该芯片组采用八核Kryo 处理器(Kryo processor)， 速度最高可达 2.45 GHz。对于视频部分(video part)，智能手机使用了高通 Adreno 540(Qualcomm Adreno 540)图形处理单元。根据维基百科(According to Wikipedia)，GPU支持Vulkan 1.0、OpenGL ES 3.2、OpenCL 2.0、OpenGL 3.1和DirectX 12。
我们测试的小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)有 64GB 的内部存储空间(storage space)和 6GB 的RAM。但是，您也可以在其他硬件配置中找到它：128 GB 内部存储和 8 GB RAM或 64/128/256 GB 内部存储和 6 GB RAM。不幸的是，如果你想扩大存储空间(storage space)，你不能，因为智能手机没有卡槽(card slot)。
小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)的自主权由容量为 3400mAh 的大型不可拆卸电池提供。它支持Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 ，好消息是您还可以在(Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0)默认包装(default package)中获得一个快速充电器。在我们进行测试期间，我们注意到小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)充电到 100% 需要不到 2 小时，而 20 分钟的充电可以让您至少拥有几个小时的自主权。
在它的背面，小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)有一个 12 兆像素的摄像头，具有 f/2.0 光圈、4 轴光学防抖(Optical Image Stabilization)、相位检测自动对焦(phase detection autofocus)和双 LED 闪光灯。在它的正面，它配备了一个 5 兆像素的摄像头。

智能手机还受益于它从内置传感器收集的信息：指纹（在背面）、加速度计、陀螺仪、接近度、指南针和气压计。
小米 Mi Mix 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)是一款平板手机，这意味着它比普通智能手机要大，而且由于它的电池很大，它并不十分轻巧。它长 5.98 英寸（151.8 毫米），宽 2.97 英寸（75.5 毫米），厚 0.30 英寸（7.7 毫米），重 6.53 盎司（185 克）。更多关于小米MIX 2(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2)的硬件规格和特性，请访问其官网：小米MIX 2规格(Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Specs)。

Here is what you get today, two years after its launch, from Xiaomi Mi Mix 2:
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2: Who is it good for?

- Desire an Android smartphone that looks fantastic

As negatives:

Verdict
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is one of the best Android smartphones that we have tested, although our review comes after almost two years since it was launched. Even in 2019, the Mi Mix 2 is still a good choice for anyone who wants a powerful yet beautiful Android smartphone. Furthermore, if you want to play Fortnite and other games, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is one of the cheapest smartphones that you can buy. The true weakness of this smartphone is the camera, which does a good job only when taking pictures outdoors, with good lighting conditions. For people who desire excellent value for money, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is one of the best purchases that they can make.
Unboxing the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 comes in a square dark gray cardboard box with a minimalist design. On its top side, you see only the Mi logo printed in gold.
On the bottom of the box, there are a few stickers that tell you the exact model of smartphone that you have bought. Inside, you find the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 together with all its bundled accessories and documents. You get a protective cover, a power adapter and a USB Type-C cable, a Type-C to audio converter, a SIM insertion tool, the warranty card, and the user guide. Unfortunately, there are no headphones bundled in the package.
The unboxing experience offered by Xiaomi is a pleasant one. We like the minimalist design of the box, and we appreciate the good quality of the materials used to create it. The only thing missing from the box is a pair of headphones.
Design and build quality
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is sold in only one color: black. Its body is made of a ceramic compound that looks great. It is also reflective, but most people like that. The funny thing is that it was hard for us to get good pictures of it because of the reflections. 🙂
The ceramic body is beautiful, but it is also prone to get scratched, broken or smudged by fingerprints easily. It is a good idea to use a protective case for this smartphone. The good news is that Xiaomi also thought about that and included a case in the standard package. The case you get is thin and minimalistic but feels pretty resistant. We chose to use it for the above reasons, and because it also made the smartphone less slippery.
The back of the smartphone is also home to the camera and to the fingerprint reader. The camera is small but slightly protruding. Xiaomi brags about the its elegant design and about the fact that it decorated the camera with an 18-karat gold-plated rim. It looks beautiful.
The edges of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 are rounded and made of a black aluminum alloy. They give a note of elegance and also help you feel like the smartphone is well-made.
The front side of the smartphone is all about the large 6 inch (5.99 technically) display. Xiaomi managed to fill almost the entire front surface with the screen, leaving only a few millimeters for the bezels.
Unlike many high-end smartphones today, Xiaomi did not want to cut the screen and put a notch on it, and we appreciate that a lot. The company preferred to move the front camera to the bottom of the screen and place it on the bottom bezel. It is a good approach and we bet that many people would rather have that instead of an ugly notch.
The volume rocker and the power button are found on the usual spot: the upper right side of the smartphone. On the opposite edge, there is the SIM tray and, on the bottom edge, there is the bottom speaker and the USB Type-C port.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is a beautiful smartphone, and one of the main reasons for that is fact that its screen covers most of its front side, and that the bezels are so thin. However, although the ceramic back side also looks great. It is also slippery, so you should always use a case with this smartphone.
Hardware specifications
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 features a 5.99 inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels and 18:9 screen ratio, resulting in a relatively high pixel density of approximately 403 ppi. The screen is protected against scratches and drops by Gorilla Glass 4.
The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 chipset that features an octa-core Kryo processor which can reach speeds of up to 2.45 GHz. For the video part, the smartphone uses a Qualcomm Adreno 540 graphics processing unit. According to Wikipedia, the GPU supports Vulkan 1.0, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL 3.1, and DirectX 12.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 that we tested had 64GB of internal storage space and to 6GB of RAM. However, you can also find it in other hardware configurations: 128 GB internal storage and 8GB RAM or 64/128/256 GB internal storage and 6 GB RAM. Unfortunately, if you want to expand the storage space, you cannot, because the smartphone does not have a card slot.
The autonomy of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is provided by a large non-removable battery with a capacity of 3400mAh. It supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, and the good news is that you also get a fast charger bundled in the default package. During the time we had it for testing, we noticed that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 needs less than 2 hours to charge to 100%, and 20 minutes of charging gives you at least a few hours of autonomy.
On its back, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 has a single 12 megapixels camera with f/2.0 aperture, 4-axis Optical Image Stabilization, phase detection autofocus, and a dual-LED flash. On its front side, it comes with a 5 megapixels camera.
Regarding connectivity, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is a Dual SIM smartphone and uses Nano-SIM cards. It has a Dual SIM Dual Standby implementation, which means that even if both SIM cards are active when you are not using them, once you take a call on one of them, the other becomes inactive.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 has a USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, dual-band wireless support for the 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac 2.4 GHz and 5GHz networks, and 2x2 MIMO.
The smartphone also benefits from the information it gathers from the built-in sensors: fingerprint (on the rear side), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, and barometer.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is a phablet, meaning that it is larger than the average smartphone, and because of its big battery, it is not exactly light. It is 5.98 inches in length (151.8 mm), 2.97 inches in width (75.5 mm), 0.30 inches in thickness (7.7 mm), and it weighs 6.53 ounces (185 grams).
