Xiaomi Teases Mi Mix 3 Running On 5G

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 was launched last month and is the latest flagship from the company. It is feature loaded and its biggest highlight is the high screen-to-body ratio, owing to its sliding camera panel. The phone also features other attractive features such as 10 GB RAM and an in-display fingerprint sensor. Xiaomi had also announced that they will launch a variant with 5G capabilities. This might be getting closer to reality. As a Mi Mix 3 running on a 5G network is seen in the latest image designed by the company.

5G Mi Mix 3

During the launch event Xiaomi had announced that they would launch a 5G variant of the phone in the first quarter of 2019. It looks like Xiaomi is on track to keep that promise. As the phone seems to already be testing on 5G networks. From the image we can see that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is running on Android 9 Pie. On the right side of the notification bar, we can see the 5G flag. This clearly means that it is running on a 5G network. This also indicates that the development of this technology for the Mi Mix 3 is complete and will enter production soon.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has a 6.39 inch AMOLED FHD+ display with a 93.4 % screen-to-body ratio. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and has up to 10 GB of RAM and upto 256 GB of internal storage. It has a 12 MP + 12 MP rear camera and a 24 MP + 2 MP front facing camera.

However, what is interesting to watch out for is whether the infrastructure for 5G phones will be available by the time the phone is released. While companies like Xiaomi and OnePlus are all set to launch their 5G devices next year. Apple is not on the same page. The company has made it clear that they will only launch their first 5G device in 2020. Apple claims that the reason behind this is that 5G technology will not develop to a stage where users will be able to get 5G connectivity everywhere.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Leaked With 10GB RAM and 5G Network Support

Xiaomi was one of the first companies to introduce a narrow bezel display smartphone. The Mi Mix 1 was launched in 2016 with extremely thin bezels. It was followed by the Mi Mix 2 & Mi Mix 2s which were launched in late 2017 and early 2018 respectively. With every new generation, Xiaomi managed to squeeze the bezels in their Mix series devices. And now the company is about to launch the latest Mi Mix 3 smartphone. It might have a truly bezel-less display and multiple ground-breaking innovations.

Xiaomi posted a teaser online hinting that the Mi Mix 3 might be the first commercial phone in the world to have 5G support and 10 GB of RAM.

The company has scheduled the launch of the Mi Mix 3 on September 25. Recently the teaser video and the camera samples from the phone have also surfaced online. The video was uploaded on Chinese social media website Weibo. The video focuses on the concealed dual selfie cameras and the bezel-less display that the Mi Mix 3 will have. To achieve such thin bezels, Xiaomi has created a sliding screen mechanism which conceals the speakerphone, front cameras, and necessary sensors.

The samples show the portrait mode of the phone in action. The photos are taken in a very dark environment so it is hard to judge the camera performance solely on the basis of these images.

However, Xiaomi’s biggest accomplishment with the Mi Mix 3 will be 5G carrier capabilities. Out of all the global smartphone companies they will be the first ones to achieve this feat. Besides the insane 10 GB of RAM that the phone might have, the Mi Mix 3 might have have an in-display fingerprint scanner, an AMOLED display and most probably will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa-core processor. It might also support facial recognition as this feature is quickly becoming an industry standard in leading smartphones.

To conclude, we will have to wait till 25th October for Xiaomi to officially announce the smartphone and make all the details publically available.
