Watch Hugo Barra unbox and explain the Mi MIX and Mi Note 2

The Xiaomi Mi MIX caught many of us off-guard when it was launched yesterday. The bezel-less Xiaomi phone is both eye-catching and well-equipped, featuring a Snapdragon 821 processor, 4 or 6 GB or RAM and a 6.4-inch, 17:9, 2040×1080 resolution display.

In case you missed it, why not come watch a video of Xiaomi Global Vice President Hugo Barra unboxing it?

In the Xiaomi video, you’ll see Barra following what he describes as “possibly the biggest launch event in the history of the company” discussing the upcoming Mi MIX and the curved-display bearing Mi Note 2 in detail.

Barra also took to Twitter today to thank YouTuber Marques Brownlee for his hands-on impressions of the Mi MIX, and OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei stepped in to give his two cents on the handset.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 will go on sale in China on November 1 and the Mi MIX will follow on November 4. Availability details are scarce but don’t expect to see the latter outside of China.

Which do you prefer? Mi MIX or Mi Note 2? Let us know in the comments.
