Renowned French designer Philippe Starck has unveiled a full-screen ceramic smartphone, the Mi MIX, for Chinese tech company Xiaomi. Designed for the user, Mi MIX pushes every boundary for an unparalleled experience of easy grip and optimum listening, combined with minimal and innovative design. Like a piece of polished ceramic, smooth and elegant, the body of the Mi MIX has no edges and corners.
Curved on each side, his revolutionary full-screen has a beveled chamfer, an additional singularity to its disruptive appearance. Extended to the maximum, the use surface has no constraint. No buttons and no loudspeakers. The sound is conveyed through vibrations thank to piezoelectric ceramic technology.
