Xiaomi Mi MIX Comes With Microsoft Office, Cortana Pre-Installed
The newly released Xiaomi Mi MIX edge-to-edge display phone has made it out into the hands of some customers, who are now revealing some interesting previously unknown facts about the phone.
German website Win Future has discovered that Xiaomi’s gorgeous but fragile Mi MIX phone comes pre-installed with a bunch of Microsoft apps including the Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and …Cortana, Microsoft’s own virtual assistant.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX isn’t actually the only Android phone that takes advantage of Cortana. A few months back, the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 were also blessed with Cortana support via a software update.
Like usual, users have to say “Hey, Cortana” in order to have the virtual assistant at their disposal. Microsoft and Xiaomi signed an agreement back in June and now the US tech giant is bringing its services to one of the most cutting edge models produced by China’s Apple.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX features a 6.4-inch display with an impressive 91.3% screen-to-body ratio and FHD resolution (1080 x 1920 pixels). Power comes from a Snapdragon 821 working in combination with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
On the photography front, users can take advantage of a 16MP main camera plus a 5MP selfie snapper. The device relies on a hefty 4,400 mAh battery for life, but given the large display it’s not surprising.
