Design Barriers
The concept of deisgn is very much similar to the Samsung S-Pen in devices. Putting the earbuds inside of a device made it bulky. Also requires additional components to charge the earbuds. Xioami has removed 3.5mm headphone Jack to increase battery power of device (with large batteries).
To use earbuds we have to put it out from the device, and it obvious we may forget sometimes to carry it. The company also has to take care of hygiene, the earbuds are exposed to outside world and then to our ears. Also there are several other issues to consider.
I am excited about the Xiaomi new patent smartphone design and hope it will better than the future phone Mi Mix Alpha that has full-screen wrap around.
