Xiaomi Unveils Mi 9 Pro 5G and Wraparound-Screen Mi MIX Alpha

The Mi MIX Alpha, which will sell for 19,000 yuan, or US$2,800, has a display that wraps around the phone, covering nearly all the front and back of the unit.

The phone has very small bezels on its top and bottom and no buttons on the sides. Instead, its sides are pressure-sensitive and use a linear motor to simulate the touch of real buttons.

To accommodate the phone's Surround Display, the top and bottom of the frame are built with aerospace-grade titanium alloy. It's three times stronger than stainless steel but weighs less.
