Now expired. Price goes back to Mix @US$874.99 and Pro @ US$937.49 now.

Today only

Aliexpress has 27/DEC XIAOMI SMARTPHONE SALE. I noticed xiaomi mix /pro is on sale as well mix@ US$700 and mix pro@US$750.

The default way of delivery is free of charge. But you can pay US$22 to use DHL if you do not want to wait or want a tracking no.

It's a One day only sale but I marked it expires on 28/DEC here as it appears to be European time though.So there are approximately 19 hours left at time of this post. this website should give you me details about the sale and tell you how many hours left.
There are few other hot deals as well.

http://brands.aliexpress.com/en?spm=2114.11010108.100003.1.z…

Personally I reckon this is a hot price for xiaomi mix/pro as it's very hard to find this phone on the market.

For those who has no idea about the phone. Whirlpool has a lengthy post about this model.
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2577746

To sum up, this is not a phone for everyone. It's a concept phone, the phone boasts of 91.1% screen to body ratio, true innovation + technology creation. The few impressed me are:

Ultra-high 91.3% screen-to-body ratio—highest on any smartphone to date

  • Full ceramic body: Ceramic back cover, frame, and side buttons, 8 MoHs hardness. Seamless connectors fuse Mi MIX’s body without any external adhesives
  • Cantilever piezoelectric ceramic acoustic technology replaces the traditional earpiece speaker, allowing you to listen to calls without the earpiece
  • Ultrasonic proximity sensor hidden behind the display, replaces traditional infrared proc sensor

For anyone who has not use the AliExpress app to buy anything yet. They do have further discount.

You can get up to US$100 Coupon!

http://sale.aliexpress.com/__pc/downloadappsale1111pc.htm

it gives few coupons. including

buy US $ 750.00 or more get US $ 50.00 Off
buy US $ 450.00 or more get US $ 30.00 Off

If you buy a bit extra from Aliexpress, you may be able to get US$50 off. Or you can get $30 off at least.

For those who can not get this work or you want to use cashreward.com.au , you can get 7% cash back anyway.

The last bit about B28.

No. please be aware of that this phone does NOT support B28!

          @y12345678: Yes, exactly! And a tonne of those being bought directly from Xiaomi are being bought solely for the purpose of keeping supply low and on selling for a $300+ profit! It hardly makes this a bargain.

          I keep missing out on the NES Classic for $99. They're being sold on eBay for $300 - $400 because they're virtually impossible to buy direct from retailers. If I found a seller on eBay that was selling them for $200 and posted it on here, would it be a bargain?

  • rich545im on 28/12/2016 - 13:00

    I have the pro version and have using it for about 3 weeks. No issues so far. For background I just came off a iPhone 6s +, and previously had the note 7 and S7 edge. I'm in Singapore, so picked it up for about $1kaud from a store. My initial 2 key concerns, 1 no warranty, and 2 it's a Xiaomi/price.

    I know paid about 15% premium to own one. Is it a strictly a $$ bargain? Probably not. is it rare and "feel" exclusive? Very. All the positive reviews from YouTube and Google tells the story so take the time to research.

    FWIW It's the best phone I've ever is owned so far. After the disappointment this year with the ip7+ and note 7 I just needed something exciting to fill the void and the mix has so far delivered this for me personally.

    My only advice is if you are going to make the plunge, make sure the phone is not rooted and has english Google Play store preinstalled. Else you will have issues with work corporate email apps.
    There is a definite risk here with No Warranty and little support, but if you can accept this, you will be truly rewarded with a great unique phone….Until the ip8 and galaxy note 8 comes along.

    I have its predecessor, the Mi Max, the phone is great, but even the global ROM doesn't allow you to set your location/time to Australia, which can be a problem for news apps and daylight saving.

    As for this phone, I think it is great a Chinese manufacturer is innovating so much.

    I recently got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 pro and absolutely would recommend a Xiaomi phone, very happy I went from an iPhone 6. I wanted to go for a Mi Mix, but can't justify the $1000 at the moment (building a house), I wouldve bought it otherwise without a doubt. The specs and design are up there with the best.

    For those who are complaining about spending that for a chinese phone, where are your iPhones/Samsung/Google pixel phones built? I would assume not in the higher end of town in the 1st world. China manufactures nearly everything anyway, they make enough technology to get it right sometimes. But I suppose haters are gonna hate…

    OK, so just to clarify;

    • This is about 1.5% cheaper than several other websites are offering the phone

    • It is a $250 - $300 mark up over what Xioami directly sells the phone for (most stock is being bought up by sellers like this purely to make large profits due to low supply)

    • No local warranty or after sales support

    • 1 year Chinese warranty through 3rd party

    • It costs $1000

    And it's a bargain?

    Bargain. Noun. "a thing bought or offered for sale much more cheaply than is usual or expected."

    eeergh Ali Express, I bit the bullet and ordered a Xiaomi (posted on Oz B) through Ali Express around November 12th.I had a disastrous purchase of a phone through Ebay so I thought WTF,lets try the opposition. Well I still haven't got it due to continued 'shipping" issues.

    The original issue was AE's message system saying that it had been shipped.

    However,the dichotomy was also true. The message also stated at the bottom of the link provided in the 'your item has been shipped' email that shipping was not possible to my place and would cost another $40. Anyway after much frappery I requested them just to send the fking thing in standard mail. This happened around December the 2nd. Looks like I will get to test the AE dispute resolution unless it arrives in the next week or so!!!

    If I include the original F-around I had with DWI and their sh!tty Nexus5 debacle (see my other posts), my attempt at securing a phone "bargain" via China goes back to September 19th!!! seems like I just ain't got lady luck on my side. Maybe I should order one of those "Lucky Cats" off of gear best?

    Take Away Message #1 = The "your item has been shipped' email does not necessarily mean that.
    Take Away message #2 = buy phone from Aussie bricks and mortar

          The Xiaomi seems like a good deal compared to those yes. The finish of my Xiaomi is very good quality, similar to the iphone 6 I came from, but only $257AUD. I was genuinely surprised, half expecting a poor product for the price.

    While I + the deal for OP's effort (probably the cheapest easily obtainable price for the phone), I don't think it's a bargain as such. Yes it's a good phone, but even within Xiaomi's lineup, the Mi5S with the same SD821 SoC is around half the price of this phone…

    Not to mention for a device that costs close to $1000, a questionable warranty and lack of Band 28 support don't scream bargain either

      This thing has no side or top bezel. Do you hold the phone upside down when you take a call?

      • twister292 on 28/12/2016 - 22:01

        It's embedded underneath the screen towards the top. The proximity sensor is also embedded into the screen, and the front-facing camera and ambient light sensor are on the bottom bezel.

      • y12345678 on 28/12/2016 - 22:08

        Earpiece is replace by new a technology — Cantilever piezoelectric ceramic acoustic. My understanding is the vibrating ceramic back/side generates sounds.

        • lostn on 28/12/2016 - 22:11

          According to Xiaomi
          "Xiaomi MIX will use ceramic acoustic system instead of traditional receiver, it can take phone call without receiver by piezoelectric ceramic converting electrical signals into mechanical energy to create the voice itself."

          However, with the display covering a majority of the body, there are some challenges that have to be overcome. For example, since the top is covered with display, where would you place the camera, ear piece and the proximity sensor?

          So, the Xiaomi Mix will be using a cantilever piezoelectric ceramic technology which replaces the traditional ear piece. For proximity sensor, instead of a traditional infrared sensor, the phone will use a special ultrasonic sensor. And finally for the camera, the company says that the Mix could feature a camera at the bottom bezel, and you can rotate the phone to capture great selfies. Further, to increase the screen area, the company will be using virtual keys with 17:9 custom display.

          piezoelectric ceramic technology. Squeezing certain material (apparently it's a ceramic here ) can make electricity flow through it.(and visa-versa). that is how xiaomi mix convert voice signal from/to electrical signal. And therefore replace the transitional ear piece and receiver.

        It's comes with a genuine faux leather case included in the box. Mix accessories are very rare. Most variety is found on aliexpress so be sure to order something early as shipping takes ages. Mostlh very cheap prices less $10.

        A few tips so far: 1- for screen protectors, make sure its full screen coverage, as my glass only covers 80%, leaves uncovered screen border of about 1mm, very annoying as it takes away some of the effect of the bezeless screen.
        2- case - though a nice "thick" black case is included. Suggest you get a clear case to show off the body and reduce the size a little more. I ordered an "imak" brand. Still waiting for it.

        Hope that helps.
