Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Launch Set For 19th July

Xiaomi has confirmed that the Mi Max 3 is going to launch on July 19th in China. Fans speculated that the Mi Max 3 would launch in the month of May alongside the launch of Mi 7. However, the CEO of the Chinese manufacturer, Lei Jun confirmed at that time the launch would happen sometime in July.

Prior to the launch confirmation, Lei Jun also teased the retail box of the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. The cuboidal box is white and has the “Max 3” embossed on the top in gold colour.

Mi Max 3 Retail Box

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will have a 6.9 inch Full HD+ IPS LCD panel with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. The aspect ratio for this smartphone is 18:9 and the screen-to-body ratio due to the lack of the notch is 79.8%. The Mi Max 3 will launch with MIUI 10 out of the box, based on Android 8.1 Oreo.

Xiaomi is likely to go with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor paired with the Adreno 509 GPU. The other likely alternative for the Xiaomi Max 3 is the Snapdragon 710 processor with the Adreno 616 GPU. According to some rumors, is also a possibility that we may see a Pro version with the latter SoC.

The phone is expected to be launched in three storage and RAM variants. The first variant will have 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. The other variant will have a 4GB RAM and a 64GB internal storage. The third variant will have a 6GB RAM and a large 128GB internal storage.

For the expected price of CNY 1,699 (roughly Rs. 17,400), Xiaomi decided to not put a notch on its 2018 Max smartphone. This is surprising, considering the fact that other manufacturers have adopted the notch, even for their sub Rs. 20K phones. To name one, The Nokia X6, which is yet to be released outside of China, has a notch. Xiaomi also has the Redmi 6 pro with a notch which will be launched in India later in the year.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Retail Box Revealed By Xiaomi CEO Before Official Launch

Over the past few months, we have seen smartphone makers adopt varying marketing strategies. Lenovo took an extreme turn and hyped the Lenovo Z5 only to launch a mediocre version of what was expected. OnePlus teased a lot of new features of the OnePlus 6 before the official launch. Xiaomi has gone a step further with the Mi Max 3. Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi has posted an image of the retail box of the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 before its official launch.

The box clearly states the Mi Max 3 moniker, hence confirming the existing rumours. The soon to be launched phablet will succeed the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 which was launched in late-July in 2017. The launch of the Mi Max 3 falls in line with the company’s launch pattern for the Max series. Unfortunately, the image does not give away any details about the smartphone.

Mi Max 2

So far, there have been a few leaks regarding the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. According to the listing, the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will sport a 6.9 inch display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. This resolution confirms that the Mi Max 3 will have thinner bezels than its predecessor and also that it won’t have a notch. While many smartphones in 2018 sport a notch, users in general, aren’t very stoked about a notched display.

[amazon_link asins=’B073VLGL5Y’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’igyaan-21′ marketplace=’IN’ link_id=’06b4abe1-7466-11e8-afe1-19641fe560a5′]

Despite the larger display, the Mi Max 3 won’t be much larger than its predecessor. According to the listing, the Mi Max 3 measures 176.15 x 87.4 x 7.99 mm and weighs in at 221 grams. The Mi Max 2, on the other hand, measures 174.1 x 88.7 x 7.6mm and weighs in at 211 grams. For context, the Mi Max 2 had a 6.4 inch display and a 5300 mAh battery.

The Mi Max 3 will run on a 1.8GHz octa-core processor coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Xiaomi will launch multiple variants and the one with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage will be the priciest. The fingerprint sensor will be placed on the back of the device just like almost all the Xiaomi devices off late. Powering the smartphone is a 5400 mAh battery which isn’t a significant upgrade over the 5300 mAh battery found on the Mi Max 2.

The details about the camera department are scarce for now. The listing reveals that it will have a dual-camera setup on the back with a 12MP primary sensor. The dual-camera setup will be capable of shooting videos at up to 4K resolution. To the front is an 8MP front-facing sensor. The Mi Max 3 will run Android 8 Oreo out of the box with MIUI 10 on top.

As bezels get thinner and displays get bigger, the line between smartphones and phablets will get blurrier. That, however, has not stopped Xiaomi from exploring the phablet realm. The Mi Max 3 could launch in India as well along with China. The pricing will be key for the device to have any impact on the over-crowded budget smartphone segment.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 With 5400 mAh Battery And 6.9 Inch Display Listed On TENNA

Xiaomi recently launched the eagerly anticipated Mi 8 in China along with the Mi 8 Explorer Edition and Mi 8 SE. There have been rumours of Xiaomi maybe launching the Mi 8 SE in India while the Mi 8 will be a China-exclusive for now. Apart from the Mi 8 SE, Xiami could launch another budget Mi device in India, the Mi Max 3. A new listing on TENNA essentially confirms that the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will indeed launch soon.

According to the listing, the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will sport a 6.9 inch display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. This resolution confirms that the Mi Max 3 will have thinner bezels than its predecessor and also that it won’t have a notch.

Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro To Launch In Late-2018

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is one of the most popular budget smartphones in India right now. The fact that it first launched in India before any other country made it an even sweeter deal for many users. With the success of this Pro device, Xiaomi appears to be already working on a new smartphone with this moniker and could launch it in late-2018. Apart from the Redmi 6 Pro, the existence of the Mi Max 3 and Mi Pad 4 has also been confirmed.

A new report claims that references to all the three devices were found on the Mi China website. This means that these smartphones will launch in China before anywhere else in the world. While the Redmi Note 5 Pro was an India-first device, it seems unlikely that Xiaomi will continue this trend.

Recently, a Xiaomi smartphone with a notched display was leaked on TENNA. While it was initially expected to the Redmi 6 Plus, it now appears to be the Redmi 6 Pro. Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi 6 and 6A while there were no traces of a Redmi 6 Plus being launched in the near future. While the design is plausible, we hope Xiaomi fixes the colour of the bezels and notch and go with a black colour instead.

The Redmi 6 Pro could have a 5.84 inch display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. This translates into a 19:9 aspect ratio which is common for smartphones with a notch.

[amazon_link asins=’B07CJYMDNQ’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’igyaan-21′ marketplace=’IN’ link_id=’e350f7b1-707c-11e8-af31-ebdc419c195f’]

The listing mentions that the device will run on an octa-core 2.0GHz processor which could well be the Snapdragon 660 SoC. The Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro is expected to be available in three configurations, 2GB RAM/16GB storage, 3GB RAM/32GB storage, and 4GB RAM/64GB storage. Like the Redmi Note 5 Pro, the 6 Pro is also expected to offer expandable storage via microSD card.

On the back of the smartphone will be a dual-camera setup. The listing mentions a 12MP primary sensor and 5MP secondary sensor. This is the exact configuration found on the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Xiaomi would probably improve the quality of the sensors and add a few software features as well. Powering the Redmi 6 Pro will be a 4000 mAh battery. Hopefully, with the 6 Pro, we will see the inclusion of a USB Type C port.

Mi Max 2

The Mi Max 3 has been in the news for quite a while now. Xiaomi is one of the few companies that still makes phablets. The Mi Max 3 will succeed the Mi Max 2 and is expected to launch in July. Just like the recently launched Mi 8 SE, the Mi Max 3 is expected to run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset. This could be coupled with 6GB of RAM and up to 64GB of onboard storage.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 will be one of the few exciting Android-running tablets to launch in 2018. Xiaomi has not given up on tablets yet and the Mi Pad 4 could launch soon as well. Recent leaks suggest the Mi Pad 4 will run on Snapdragon 660 chipset and sport an 18:9 aspect ratio. If true, this will be a headline-grabber as well since no other tablets with this aspect ratio have launched so far.

The list of smartphones that Xiaomi could launch is exciting. At the end of the day, these are leaks and a lot can happen by the time these smartphones are launched.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 To Launch In July 2018

Xiaomi still believes that there is a market for phablets in today’s world. The companies ‘Mi Max’ series has been hugely popular thanks to the display size and price point of the devices. The Mi Max 2 was launched on July 27th, 2017 and there have been a lot of rumours about the Mi Max 3. Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun has confirmed that the Mi Max 3 will follow the same pattern and launch in July this year.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Early Leaks

We are almost halfway into 2018 and with every smartphone launch, it is becoming harder to differentiate between a smartphone and a phablet. Till a couple of years ago, the average screen size of smartphones used to hover between 5 to 5.5 inch. That, however, has changed ever since companies started adopting the 18:9 aspect ratio and shrunk the bezels. Most of the budget smartphones launched these days have a 6 inch display, bridging the gap between a phablet and a smartphone.

Lei Jun took to Weibo to announce that the company’s Shenzhen event will take place in May-end. He was then asked by many users about the Mi Max 3’s launch date. He responded to the queries by writing that the Mi Max 3 is, “estimated to be released in July and is not ready yet.” This timeline makes sense as well since the Mi Max and Mi Max 2 were released in the month of July as well. The company would want to maintain a launch pattern for some of its devices, especially with the Mi 8 launching later than expected.

Mi Max 3 Renders

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is expected to run on either Snapdragon 660 or Snapdragon 636. The smartphone will have a 7 inch IPS LCD display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio. The phablet will certainly have a big screen but, it will no longer be a massive screen real estate upgrade over other budget smartphones. The Redmi Note 5 Pro, for example, has a 6 inch display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 To Launch With Wireless Charging And Iris Scanner

So far, a lot of the attention has been focussed on one Xiaomi device, the Mi Mix 2S. While the Mi Mix 2S is expected to be unveiled at MWC 2018, the Mi Max 3 will be launched in mid-2018. So far, there have been a few leaks regarding the Mi Max 3 but, some interesting information has been revealed about the device.

XDA Developers came across a firmware that has a revealed a few features of the upcoming device. According to the leaks, the Mi Max 3 will be powered by the Snapdragon 660 chipset. The firmware also reveals that the device will support wireless charging which means it will have a more premium build.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Early Leaks

Other than that, it revealed that the smartphone will have an 18:9 aspect ratio. Powering the phablet will be a massive 5500 mAh battery that will probably support fast charging as well. The Mi Max 3 will run Android 8 Oreo out of the box with MIUI 9 on top. The Mi Max 3 will have either Sony’s IMX363 camera sensor, or, Samsung’s S5K217 + S5K5E8 sensors on the back. On the front, there will be a single Samsung S5K4H7 sensor.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Specifications

The Mi Max 3will succeed the Mi Max 2 from 2017. It is exoected to move on from the 16:9 aspect ratio and thick bezels. It will have a 6.99 inch IPS LCD display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. The smartphone will have a glass back since it is expected to support wireless charging. This could be a game changer since the Mi Max series has always been priced under Rs. 20,000 in India.

Graphical Representation Of Wireless Charging On A Xiaomi Smartphone

Under the hood, the device will either have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 or the 630 chipset. That is expected to be coupled with up to 6GB of RAM and expandable storage options. The Mi Max 3 will be powered by a massive 5500 mAh battery and run Android 8 Oreo out of the box.

Conclusion

While the leaked details look impressive, nothing is for certain right now. The launch of the Mi Max 3 is a bit far away and it seems too early for such comprehensive leaks. Also, wireless charging for a smartphone under Rs. 20,000 could be unprecedented if true.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 With Dual Cameras Leaked In Live Images

Xiaomi is expected to launch the next iteration of its phablet series in mid-2018. The Xiaomi Mi Max and Mi Max 2 were great devices with a huge display and battery but, it looks like the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will concentrate on more than just media consumption.

In line with the previous leak, a new image has surfaced online which is believed to be of the Mi Max 3. While the image doesn’t reveal the front of the phone, the back of the device is clear as a day. It will have the same metal unibody build and a fingerprint sensor in the middle. However, that is not the interesting bit, as there appears to be a dual-camera setup on the back of the phone, a first for the ‘Mi Max’ series.

The image is similar to the one that was leaked a few days ago with a similar placed fingerprint sensor and cameras. However, the LED flash, is now placed to the left of the cameras as opposed to the right side in the previous image.

While the new leak doesn’t shed a lot of information on other aspects of the smartphone, we have a few key specifications of the device already, thanks to the previous leak.

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will sport a 6.99-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Under the hood, according to the image, it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 635 chipset, have 3GB or 4GB of RAM along with 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage.

The smartphone will also be powered by a massive 5500 mAh battery. It will, in all probability, support some form quick charging, otherwise charging up a 5500 mAh battery on your primary device could be a pain.

While the front of the smartphone is not visible, it is possible that the smartphone will have an 18:9 display with thin bezels. Although this will soon be a norm for even the mid-range devices, thin bezels on such a large display might be cumbersome especially due to accidental touches. Xiaomi’s implementation will have to spot on if it goes for a modern looking bezel-less design for the Mi Max 3.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Leaks Reveal Dual-Camera Setup At The Back

Xiaomi launched the Mi Max 2 back in June of 2017 and is expected to launch the next iteration in the ‘Mi Max’ series by mid-2018. While not a lot is known about the device so far, a new leak has revealed a few key details about the upcoming phablet.

An image was posted on Weibo which has revealed that the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will sport a 6.99-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. Something that will get increasingly common among smartphones of all price segments.

Under the hood, according to the image, it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 635 chipset, have 3GB or 4GB of RAM along with 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage.

The fingerprint sensor will be placed on the back of the smartphone since the bezels are extremely thin on the display. The smartphone will also be powered by a massive 5500 mAh battery.

There are no details about the launch date of the smartphone yet, but, it is expected to be launched during the same time as its predecessor.
