From the first to the last, this is how the screen size has evolved in all Xiaomi

Do you prefer small or giant mobiles? What is your "ideal size"? How do six-inch mobiles fit little hands? Designers, manufacturers, engineers and even dressmakers have been thinking about it for years and the different needs imposed by the market.

From the first Xiaomi Mi 1 to the last, here you will find a comprehensive summary on the inch and keys on the type of panel used by the manufacturer.

We can already advance two maxims that you will imagine: the inch has grown. Much! But it has not been promoted solely from an ambition for scale but has grown hand in hand with a series of protection technologies based on tempered glass of about 0.4mm thick and extensive improvements in the interpretation of the depth of color, the dynamic brightness and so on.

Nor can we ignore oil-repellent technologies. The vast majority of panels already have a thin layer of oleophobic gel to combat both the microbiota, a bacterial flora typical of our hands, and its oleum, from the Latin "oil" that helps keep our skin hydrated and protected.

So well, let's know when and how much Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones have grown in size and scale during the last decade.

Throughout its long career, Xiaomi has collaborated with manufacturers such as Samsung, LG and TCL, in addition to having developed its own technologies. However, it all started with a TFT screen made by Japan's Sharp.

In summary...

Button to display "responsive", the g uerra by the minimum size frames, the bezels robbing his presence. And from the "phablet" concept, as of 2013 , to simply a big smartphone. Years ago there were studies that pointed out that more than 3.5 '' wasmedically dangerous . Just five years ago the standard was set at 5.5 inches . It is now 6.5 '' .

Xiaomi has known how to adapt to every outrage and braking of the market, even anticipating trends such as the elimination of the notch, the screen perforation to hide the selfie camera and the bet on a rear screen in times where this is a commercial rarity.

We will see what the future holds, but one trend is clear: the ambition for the larger terminal seems to have given way to the ambition for the more stylish terminal, with the inch limit stagnating below 7 ''. It is a limit imposed, ultimately, by our own biology. At the end of the day, our hands will not continue to grow no matter how much "phablet" we buy.
