Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 with under-display camera launched

After weeks of teasing, Xiaomi unveiled the new premium phone Mi Mix 4 series in China.

As advertised, Mi Mix 4 is the company's first-ever device to boast an under-display camera. The new-age design makes the camera hide behind a fully functional display and yet take brilliant pictures.

Thanks to this technological feat, Mi Mix 4 phone's front panel has a fully functional display with no obstruction to watch content in full view. Also, the bezel around the edges now is slim and uniform on all sides.

"While the camera is virtually invisible to the eye, Xiaomi MIX 4 combines its hardware and software capabilities to ensure the resulting photographs and videos captured using the front camera retain true colors and details. This is done through Xiaomi’s CUP technology, which minimizes light diffraction through a special circuit design, as well as a new transparent curved wiring Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) material coupled with imaging algorithms," the company said.
