Display techniques: more than “full”
First of all, DOOGEE MIX 2 is a qualified, even excellent “full display” smartphone. It applied a 5.99″ display in the slim body. Instead of the “big chin” in xiaomi mi Mix 2, or the wired “fringe” in iPhone X, DOOGEE MIX 2 chose the similar design like Samsung Note 8, which achieves balance in the top and below. Keeping the “head and chin” also means that the front cameras, receiver and other sensors can be put at their best position.
With the 18:9 aspect ratio, the display of MIX 2 is following this year’s trend. Therefore, the resolution of MIX 2 gets a stunning 1080*2160 FHD+, which is definitely clear and colourful. To get a larger area of display, the corners of display are curved. Details like this also make DOOGEE MIX 2 a refined piece of art more than a product.
First full display phone with four cameras in the world, 130° wide-angle selfie camera.
DOOGEE never fail to apply new techniques into their products. Just as they put dual cameras in DOOGEE MIX, they put four in MIX 2 this time. Dual cameras are getting more and more common this year, but with 16.0MP+13.0MP and the ArcSoft camera optimization, the dual rear camera in MIX 2 won’t disappoint you. So let’s talk more about the front dual cameras.
MIX 2 has two front cameras closely lined up in the top of the body, one for selfie, another for wide-angle weife. The selfie camera is the same as usual one, 8MP resolution with an 88° angle. But the wefie camera is a very impressive part because of its 130° wide-angle. With such a wide imaging area, MIX 2 is able to capture 8 to 10 people in one picture easily. So, maybe it’s time to get rid of your selfie stick if you have the MIX 2.

Face recognition: first one in Android products
The Face ID of iPhone X gives people one more reason to pay $999 for it, but what if the DOOGEE MIX 2 can do this as well? DOOGEE announced they would apply face recognition in MIX 2 for the first time, which will be operated by the front camera.
Since there is no room for the fingerprint sensor in full display devices at the front, face recognition may be a trend of the business. However, this is the first time that an Android smartphone using face recognition to unlock the full display. Considering iPhone X will be available in November, and DOOGEE MIX 2 is coming in October, it may become the world’s first launched smartphone with face recognition and full display.

Despite the fancy new techniques in DOOGEE MIX 2, it is still a flagship. Powered by MTK Helio P25, the cota-core CPU is powerful when there is 6GB of RAM built-in.
