There's a reason why I decided to write about both the Xiaomi 6 and the MIX2 together—they share a lot of similarities. I've used the Xiaomi 6 for over two months, and the MIX2 for more than ten days. It's not like I'm an expert, but I did pick up some useful insights during that time. I'll share them with you here. (You can check my previous article for more context.) This article is based on my personal experience and opinions. I don't claim it to be 100% objective, as all content is subjective. If there are any factual or technical mistakes, feel free to correct me. Thanks for reading. If you haven't guessed already, the Apple Store was pretty quiet before October 27th. The iPhone 8's unexciting design didn't bring back the long lines we used to see. Interestingly, Xiaomi had a similar situation this year—Xiaomi 6 wasn't exactly hard to find either, and the MIX2 isn't as scarce as the first generation of MIX. Both models are now in stock and ready to go. Although some models on Xiaomi's official site are still marked as "reserved" or "sold out," they're easily available through third-party channels. Most of the offline stores already have stock. It's not just about the design; both phones are relatively low-key in terms of features. While the original Xiaomi had a "fever" reputation, today’s market is crowded with similar configurations, which has made Xiaomi less unique. However, the major flaws from earlier models have been addressed. For example, the uncomfortable bone conduction earpiece from the first MIX and the sharp edges that cut your hand have both been improved. While the first MIX was more of a concept phone, the MIX2 is a refined mass-produced version with fewer issues. Even though MIUI isn't perfect, it still makes Xiaomi a solid daily-use phone: (I'm currently using the "Stabilize Party" version, and MIUI 9 hasn't been officially released yet.) Xiaomi still offers strong value for money, but pushing everything to the limit can be unsustainable for a company. That's why both the Xiaomi 6 and MIX2 have some compromises. Whether these issues affect your daily use depends on your preferences—but personally, I haven’t been bothered by them much. 1. Poor Vibration Motor 2. Poor Heat Management During Gaming Of course, using a phone case can help reduce the heat. (The official Xiaomi MIX2 case feels great and provides decent insulation.) 3. Strange Battery Consumption The solution is simple: if you're lazy, leave "MIUI Optimization" on and accept the occasional ads. If you're tech-savvy, disable it and use the "God Hidden Mode" to manage app behavior manually. Other methods like green guards or blacklists also work, but they require rooting, which I’ve avoided due to the bundled apps. Daily use is fine—most people charge once a day. Playing "Honor of Kings" for about 13 minutes uses roughly 5% of the battery, which is acceptable. The camera on the MIX2 is almost identical to the main camera on the Xiaomi 6. In most situations, the photos look very similar. The 4-axis optical image stabilization works well for video, but it doesn't seem to help much with still photography. The optical zoom isn't great, and blur is common in low-light conditions. I took some pictures while hiking on Mount Huang over the weekend. Here are a few examples: Most of MIUI's built-in filters tend to be too heavy, which I don't really like. But my sister does. She loves the front camera on the Xiaomi 6 and MIX2—she always looks good in photos. I wouldn't dare post her pictures, but I might try taking her to a Xiaomi store to test it out... (It seems like their beauty algorithm team really knows what girls like!) If it weren't for Xiaomi's aggressive marketing, many people might have been disappointed when the product didn't meet their high expectations. Still, both the Xiaomi 6 and MIX2 are solid daily-use devices, especially if you can live with their minor flaws. They both have the potential to become "arcade" phones, but with so many brands available today, it's hard to recreate the era where scarcity drove demand. Xiaomi has come a long way, and while it's not perfect, it's definitely worth considering. All-in-one Energy Storage System
An energy storage system (ESS) is a device or set of devices used to store energy for later use. ESSs can store energy in various forms, including chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical energy. The stored energy can be used to power homes, buildings, or vehicles, or to supplement the power grid during periods of high demand.
ESSs are becoming increasingly important as renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power become more popular. These sources of energy are intermittent, meaning they only produce electricity when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. ESSs can help to smooth out these fluctuations in energy production and make renewable energy more reliable and cost-effective.
ESS is an integrated battery system that stores your solar energy for backup protection, so when the grid goes down your power stays on. Your system detects outages and automatically recharges with sunlight to keep your appliances running for days.GOOTU offers a modular, flexible design and can be easily customized to meet diverse customer needs.

Commonality 1: Products Are No Longer Scarce
Commonality 2: Easy-to-Use Bucket-Shaped Phones
Commonality 3: Some Drawbacks Remain
Whether it's the Xiaomi 6 or MIX2, the vibration feels cheap compared to iPhones or even mid-range domestic phones. I used to get anxious every time I pressed the HOME button, but after a while, I got used to it.
In normal usage, the heat control is good—even when playing multiple social apps for a long time. But during intense gaming sessions, the area near the camera lens gets quite hot. For example, after playing "Honor of Kings" for 5 minutes and 23 seconds, the temperature reached around 43°C, and the CPU stayed above 53°C. If you play longer, the temperature remains stable at that level.
But even other flagship phones like the iPhone 7, Galaxy S8, and Sony Xperia Z show similar heating issues under heavy gaming loads.
Standby power consumption is quite high. I turned off "MIUI Optimization" in developer mode, thinking it would save battery, but instead, background apps kept running and drained the battery quickly. On one occasion, I woke up to only 16% left.
