About two years ago Xiaomi surprised us with the first series of Mi Mix, becoming a real concept phone that inspired the masses of devices that still come to us in features clearly inherited from the design of the Chinese smartphone. And now Xiaomi with his Mi Mix 3 wanted to impress bringing a retro style into fashion that proudly incorporates the slide mechanism of old phones, proposed by Nokia and Samsung. This allowed Xiaomi to debut a full-screen device without frames, but many wonder why compared to old glories of the past, the Mi Mix 3 sled has a limited run.
Xiaomi explains why a sled design with limited stroke
As explained by the company itself, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 first adopts a magnetic sliding, with a reduced stroke of at least 50% compared to traditional sled mechanisms and this is mainly due to a mere aesthetic factor but also to increase its stability and durability over time, which an excessively high excursion would not have guaranteed. The sliding process is also facilitated by the use of a protective glass as regards the components of camera, sensors and ear capsule and also the controlled run to the minimum allows that over time does not arise a process of curvature of the mechanism that with time would go to prevent the sliding of the same.
We remind everyone that through the sliding mechanism can be launched several functions, such as turn on the selfie camera, answer calls, start a default application and even customize the sound of the movement. In short Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 manages to combine the elegance of the past with modernity and we are sure that despite this feature is nothing striking, it will be one of those features sought in a modern smartphone. It will be curious to see over time if clones of the new top-of-the-range Xiaomi will come out, just as it did with the first-generation Mi Mix.
