I got mine yesterday. Pretty happy so far. The camera software isn't too awful, save for a very broken HDR mode. That said, if they don't fix it I'll probably use a 3rd party camera app instead.
The Harry Channel this one will do the trick for now, worked wonders with the camera. www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-updated-zero-shutter-lag-xiaomi/?nocache=1
Thought Id add my thoughts: This is one of the best designed and perfectly sized phones I've ever carried or used. The fit an finish is perfect. I don't have the slightly elevated lip you mention on the back. It feels great in the hand but a bit slick, I may decide to add a DBrand skin. The phone itself is.very fast, no lag and 40 plus open apps without any issues. The fingerprint reader is very fast, equal to the S8+ and iP7+ in speed. Essentials camera app is slow, I've missed shots while it considers light, focus.etc. Tho in good light the photos are fine, if somewhat lifeless. Phone.calls, texting, mobile internet and email all very good experience. Loaded 140 apps from my S8+ and the phone.didnt.become warm or.hot. The ceramic and Ti feel really nice.in cool in.thr hand. Screen colors and refresh rate are excellent. I don't notice the widows peak at all. Two days in the battery life is excellent. Off charger at 6AM, got to 11:30 PM with about 10% remaining. Fully charged in about 75 minutes. The Pixel camera mod app from XDA takes very good pics, but lags. I think the camera can be fixed with better software from Essential or.others. My 360 Camera mod.shipped yesterday due to.me.next Thursday. Liking this Ph-1 a lot. Will daily driver it.for the next couple of weeks.
Some reviews were critical of the speaker. For a mono speaker, it's about as good as they get. Screen is fine. Size in the hand is perfect. Bluetooth is much more robust than on my Moto z ( which was itself much better than my black phone 2). This is clearly a premium handset for more mature users.
+The Harry Channel yup pretty much. Feel reviews were not fair to this phone. The phone will certainly improve too! The screen is great and so is the speaker.
Chris Panton so how are you liking the phone? I love the build quality! But I'm noticing some issues that are really bothering me. Apps are crashing, some won't work like Textra. Bluetooth was cutting out on me. Images aren't downloading when someone sends.i want to like this phone so bad but if it continues I'll have to return it. Wondering if your having any issues?
Chris Panton really interested to see a vid explaining how to install a custom rom on the mi mix, couldnt find any one youtube, be helpful if you can put something togather .. thanks
what flaws do you see apart from the fit n finish? how is the camera? is there a problem using snap chat because of the top part of the display? how does that display portion blend with other apps? battery life good/bad? and finally is the price justified for the package you're getting? ..
Appreciate it very much. I dont want to focus on all these metrics for the sake of $ or algorithms. I just want to provide the information, be as honest as I can and put it out there for people
Chris Panton ..no dude.. I am using it already.. 3040 mah for 1 day ..not at all useful.. Screen on time is just around 4 hours on normal usage ..but its great desgine with good performance. Only draw back is battery.

It's actually has a stereo speakers
Alex D Essential phone? No, single bottom speaker
The phone uses earpiece as well. You can read about it in their website and also gsmarena.com
From the website,
"Audio
Microphone: 4x microphones with noise cancellation and beam forming
Low Audio (earpiece)
High Audio: (loudspeaker)"
