The Xiaomi Mi Mix is the only smartphone released in the year 2016 that gives us the glimpse of the future of smartphones. The device features an all body display with screen-to-body ratio of around 91%. The device will go on sale in China only, but if you’re going to import it to your country or place, you might be interested in knowing first if the Mi Mix is easy to root?
Well, Xiaomi devices have never been un-friendly to root. So sooner or later the Mi Mix root will be available. Some of the safer options like flashing SuperSU zip via TWRP to get root access should make it to the device once it gets popularity among the developers, which shouldn’t be too hard given the phone’s amazing style.
With TWRP recovery now available, you can easily root Xiaomi Mi Mix by flashing either SuperSU or Magisk zip from the recovery. If you happen to play Pokemon Go or use other services that block rooted Android devices, then we’d recommend you to get root with Magisk systemless interface as it is way much easier on Magisk to toggle root on/off when needed.
