Xiaomi has officially launched its new flagship – the Mi MIX 2S. This phone continues to adopt the design that the Mi MIX 2 uses, and it boasts a full-screen 2.0 with narrowed bezels on both sides. The phone features a dual-rear vertical setup and a fingerprint reader on the back. The MIX 2S boasts a four-sided curved ceramic back plate to deliver an amazing hand feel.
Since it boasts of such an excellent appearance design, how about the phone’s workmanship on its internal design? Today, we will take apart the MIX 2S to explore its internal structure.
This is the phone’s appearance design on the back. It features a four-sided curved ceramic back plate and brings good texture. With AF fingerprint-proof coating on the back, basically, no fingerprint will be left on the phone.
The phone’s ceramic back cover is surrounded by glue. Heat up and use a pick to remove the back cover.
When removing the ceramic battery cover, slowly open it from one side to avoid disconnecting the fingerprint ribbon cable. After removing the back cover, we can see a wireless charging coil. NFC antenna is placed on the wireless charging coil.
It is the phone’s back cover. We can see its battery cover adopts gum and plastic snap joint design but does not completely use gum.
This is a fingerprint reader module on the back.
The phone’s rear-dual vertical camera lens uses scratch-resistant sapphire glass with hardness reaching 9H. The lens’ peripheral metal holder is approximately 0.05mm higher than the glass for protection purposes.
Xiaomi’s ceramic battery cover is made of a new tetragonal system ceramic material, which can better enhance the hardness of the phone.
Upon removing the cover, we can see that the graphite chips are stacked in a double layer, covering almost all areas on the motherboard. This is designed to help dissipate heat. In addition, the 3400mAh battery takes up a lot of space.
After taking out the motherboard and battery, a U-shaped groove is found on the motherboard. This part is reserved for the hidden earphone unit.
The phone’s main rear camera uses a 12MP Sony IMX363 sensor, 1.4μm, and four-axis optical image stabilization. Besides, its secondary rear camera uses a 12MP Samsung S5K3M3+ sensor.
