Mix Alpha brand model will no longer be marketed

Even at the time of its announcement, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha concept smartphone, almost entirely composed of a screen, did not seem particularly viable. In addition, at the promised price of 800. But the company still planned to bring it to market, and recently there were even rumors that it would receive the Snapdragon 865. Those who were waiting for it will be disappointed by the latest news.
The device will not only not be launched this year, but will also not be mass produced - the information was announced by Xiaomi executive director Lei Jun. He recently answered the three most frequently asked questions from Xiaomi fans. First of all, fans are asking themselves: is it worth waiting for a new Mi Mix series device this year? The executive said that the series brings cutting-edge innovation and that the company is working hard to create a new model that meets expectations. But you shouldn't expect this year.



The company is also asked: when will the Mi Mix Alpha be mass produced? Lei Jun explained that the phone was a research project and achieved its goal. However, the requirements for mass production are very high, so the device will not be mass produced. Instead, the company is focusing on the next generation of the Mi Mix (I hope it is a flexible and interesting smartphone).
The third question was about the future of Xiaomi Surge SoCs. In his reply, the official said that so far the company has faced serious difficulties, although it has not stopped developing its own processors. Remember: in February 2017, Xiaomi launched its first Surge S1 processor, which formed the basis for the Xiaomi Mi 5C. Since then, no new chips have been released under this brand.
