Just launched 1 week ago, Xiaomi Mi MIX ceramic design draws a huge attention with their powerful specs. However, an unlucky user dropped and ruined a Mi MIX at a Mi Store, which raises a question about the durability of this new blockbuster.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX ceramic design

Xiaomi Mi MIX ceramic has made the whole world excited with the entire front and ultra-thin screen border. However, this design makes the machine very easily damaged when dropped. Recently, during a walk through of Xiaomi shop in Hangzhou, China, a customer accidentally dropped the Mi MIX and it was broken quite serious. The case raises a question about the durability of Xiaomi Mi Mix ceramic material.

Mi MIX has a full ceramic body, including the back of the fuselage, borders and even buttons. All are made of a creamy micro-crystalline ceramic material. Mi MIX’s micro-crystalline zirconium ceramic is stated to be 8.5 Mohs hardness, only lower than diamonds and sapphire. Xiaomi’s technical team also said that the glass panel has never been the same as in smartphone. 

This type of ceramic material poses some advantages like noble texture, color mellow, high refractive index and strong dispersion and skin-friendly. Moreover, Xiaomi Mi Mix ceramic material doesn’t prevent the signal and the fingerprint sensor can be more clear and has sharp images. However, the combination of bezel less design and ceramic material can cause a disaster and a waste of money because it seems to be too easy to be broken.

Ways to prevent Xiaomi Mi Mix ceramic ‘s broking disaster

Mi MIX is a beautiful device so the user does not want to have to wrap it in a case, however, if you do not want to break up early with a beautiful sparkling handset and also not cheap as Mi MIX, users should accept the use of protective measures such as protection case or accident insurance purchased for $ 36.9.
