Whats in the Box:
Both Mi MIX 2 128GB and 256GB has the same box, there is nothing in particular that was different between the two, all the accessories are also the same, there are no special items like a leather case for the 256GB version, probably this is reserved for the 8GB/256GB Unibody Version that I have read on the official website of Xiaomi.
Same note from CEO Lei Jun, pretty the same as the one inside the 128GB version.
Same case provided for the 256GB version, not a leather type one like in the Mi MIX.
Taking a close look, there is nothing special on aesthetics for the 256GB version, I was expecting there is a little difference like there is a gold ring as well for the fingerprint scanner, like the one from Mi MIX 256GB version last year. Basically there is nothing different except for the storage.
Benchmarks:
The Mi MIX 2 256GB version scored a higher score in AnTuTu, netting a score of 164,142 Points which is a huge improvement from the 158,000 score from the 128GB version. This unit netted a total of 11 hours 44 minutes as opposed to 10 hours and 9 minutes from the 128GB. The more than 1.5 hours for me is a big deal since it will last me more throughout the day.
Camera Shots:
Maybe there are changes in the camera of the 256GB Variant or not, lets find out:
