Seven out of ten smartphone launched in China today will either boost a dual rear camera set up, or an 18:9 display aspect ratio, features which is actually the SP of the Ulefone Mix 2 smartphone. This is has been the trending deal since 2017, and we hope to see more companies adopting these trends in 2018. One annoying thing however is the fact that some of these other smartphones, especially those within mid range to low-end department performs terribly inspite hosting a dual rear camera. This is the particular area the Ulefone Mix 2 Review stand out of the competitions, providing fans with a budget dual rear camera that truly works.
Ulefone Mix 2 features a 5.7-inch HD+ (720×1440) Full Vision display, built into an all plastic finishing. Unlike the design on the first Ulefone Mix 1, which took after the Xiaomi Mix, the Ulefone Mix 2 design is completely inspired by Samsung Galaxy S8, which means, despite being cheap, user can still enjoy the looks and feel of the more premium Galaxy S8, but don’t expect to get those curvings and the almost no bezels on the Galaxy S8. However, the side bezels and even above and below the screen bezels are kept very minimal.
Above the display, there is a 5MP selfie camera, an LED flash, the call speaker grill and some sensors. On the right hand side, there is the power button and the volume rocker kept slightly above the mid-way of the device, while only the 3.5mm audio jack seat above the device with the left hand-side completely empty. Below the phone is the loud speaker grill, a USB 2.0 port and a microphone, with notable network antenna straps below and above the device.
At the back, you get a dual-rear facing camera hosting a 13MP and 2MP sensors along with a single LED flash. Below the camera is the rear fingerprint sensor and Ulefone branding. The 3300mA battery, SIM cards and memory slots are hidden underneath the back removable panel.
As for built quality, on one hand, the Mix 2 feels very comfortable and premium to hold. Despite having a removable back panel, attempting to bend the device produced no crackings at all, which is a big plus to Ulefone. But on the other hand, the device feels very plastic and heavy in the hand. The built is completely plastic, not even a metal frame, and Ulefone should have still put in more efforts to reduce the overall weight of the device.
