After updating newer smartphones to MIUI 12.5, Xiaomi has now begun to roll out this update for older handsets. Today, the company has started seeding out the update for the last Mi Max phone and the seventh generation Redmi number series device.

Xiaomi is now rolling out the MIUI 12.5 update for the Redmi 7 and the Mi Max 3 in China. The update arrives with build numbers V12.5.1.0.QFLCNXM and V12.5.1.0.QEDCNXM respectively.

The latest system update for these smartphones is in the stable Beta phase. In other words, the software builds are only available for a select few users. However, they should reach all the units (including international variants) in the coming days.

The Xiaomi Mi MAX 3 launched in 2018 with MIUI 9 based on Android 8.0 Oreo. After its release, the handset was updated to MIUI 10, MIUI 11, as well as MIUI 12. It even received Android 9.0 Pie and Android 10 upgrades. Now, it is getting its last major update in the form of MIUI 12.5. We don’t think it will receive MIUI 13, as per Xiaomi’s update track record.

On the other hand, the Redmi 7 debuted in 2019 with MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 Pie. The device was later updated to MIUI 11 and MIUI 12. It even received an Android 10 upgrade. The MIUI 12 update for this phone was initially canceled. But the company delivered it nevertheless, in addition to MIUI 12.5. It will be also not eligible for MIUI 13 update.

The company unveiled it in late April and since then, it has been rolling it out to eligible devices worldwide.

The Mi Max 3 is the last Mi Max series smartphone. It was launched in 2018 with MIUI 9 based on Android Oreo out of the box. It was later updated to MIUI 10 and MIUI 11 as well as received Android 9 and Android 10 update.

Now, Xiaomi has started seeding out MIUI 12 to this phone as its last major update. As we mentioned in the beginning, the Chinese variant got the update in August itself. Now, the update is being pushed to global and Russian versions of the handset.

The builds for these variants of Mi Max 3 are currently in Stable Beta, which means they are only available for a limited set of users. The build numbers for the global and Russian version of the phones are V12.0.1.0.QEDMIXM and V12.0.1.0.QEDRUXM respectively.

If there are no major bugs, we expect the company to seed ou the update sooner to all the units.

Every Android OEM is supposed to make the kernel source code of their device public. With new Android updates, the code is tweaked to support the latest software and the device’s hardware. So when the company rolls out a new Android update, it is mandatory for them to share the updated kernel source code. That’s what Xiaomi has done for Mi 8 SE, Mi 9SE, Mi 8 Lite, Mi 9 Lite, and Mi Max 3.

Xiaomi recently updated the above-listed handsets to Android 10 and since these devices use the same family of Qualcomm chipsets, their updated kernel source code was released together.

For instance, the Mi 8 SE, Mi 9 SE, and Mi 9 Lite are powered by Snapdragon 700 series, Snapdragon 710 and Snapdragon 712 to be exact. Hence, Xiaomi has unified the Android 10 kernel source code of these three handsets. The Mi CC9 Meitu Edition, which is the original Mi 9 Lite also shares the same source tree.

On the other hand, Mi 8 Lite and Mi Max 3 feature the same Snapdragon 660 chipset. Therefore, kernel source code for their Android update have been unified now.

Kernel source code plays an important role in the development of custom ROMs. Since Xiaomi has been releasing them in a timely manner (now), its devices are the most popular in the developer community.

Xiaomi’s smartphone series has seen drastic changes within the last one year. First, the Redmi series became an independent brand and not a mid-range/budget-focused series. Since then, we have seen the brand release, not just premium midrange models but also budget and even flagship models.

Xiaomi’s CEO recently disclosed that the company’s smartphone lines are now the Xiaomi and Redmi lines. He equally hinted that the Xiaomi brand is devoted to new technology, high-end phones, with a focus on new retail markets. He then reeled out the phones under the product line for this year. Among them are the Xiaomi digital series, Mi 9, Mi 9SE, Xiaomi Mix series and the new Xiaomi CC series. Of particular interest is the disclosure that the company has no plans for a new Max and Note phones this year. While he didn’t categorically say the company has discontinued the two series, but that could be what the news is pointing at.

The Mi Max 3 was launched last year so it is difficult to say if the company will not bring an update next year. On the other hand, the Mi Note 3 which was launched in 2017, is the last Note model from Xiaomi. The Mi Note series was first launched in 2015 and as at then, Xiaomi was looking at the possibility of the industry developing towards the use of curved OLED screens.  Full-screen design stole the show instead and curved screens are not in any way trendy any more.

The post Xiaomi Mi Max 3 with 6.9-inch display, SD 636, dual cameras, 5,500mAh is official with 1,699 Yuan (~$252) pricing appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi’s Mi Max series always featured one of the biggest smartphone displays of its time and the same will continue in 2018 as well. After today’s official confirmation from the company, we now know for sure that the Mi Max 3 will feature a monstrous 6.9-inch display that should cater to your gaming and entertainment needs. But the Mi Max series is not just known for its huge displays, it’s also famous for its extravagant battery capacities. The Mi Max 3 is no exception with the company confirming that it will come with a massive 5500mAh battery to ensure that the phone’s large screen is powered for a very long time!

Almost everything about the phone is known via official teasers, leaks, and rumours. Hence, it’s time for a Mi Max 3 specs rumour roundup article to see what’s in store for us on July 19.

Gone are the days when companies used to protect their upcoming smartphones to ensure there’s enough excitement during the launch event. Now, there’s a growing trend among smartphone makers to reveal almost everything about the device before it goes official. The same is applicable with the Mi Max 3 as well. Xiaomi has already shown us its design, specs, and teased a few features giving us a clear picture of the handset.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Design

Apart from the Mi Mix series, rest of Xiaomi’s smartphones have featured standard designs. In case of the Mi Max 3, Xiaomi is adopting the exact same design as the Mi 6X. This means that you get a top left placed dual camera setup with flash in between, center placed fingerprint sensor at the back, and up front, thin bezels on the top and the bottom. In short, consider the Mi Max 3 as an enlarged version of the Mi 6X.

There are three color options confirmed on the Mi Max 3 namely black, blue, and gold.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Specs

Apart from one leak a few weeks back, there hasn’t been much information about the rumoured Mi Max 3 Pro version with Snapdragon 710 inside. It’s quite possible that there is just one processor version of the Mi Max 3 with Snapdragon 636 inside. This particular model has been detailed in the most recent teaser revealed by the company president Lin Bin, thereby confirming its key specs.

So, the confirmed Mi Max 3 specs are as follows:

• 6.9-inch FHD+ 18:9 Display
• Snapdragon 636
• 4+64 storage
• 6+128 storage
• 12+5MP rear cameras
• 8MP front camera
• 5500mAh battery

There are a bunch of other AI enabled features as well like Face Unlock, Single Camera bokeh, AI scene recognition, Voice assistant etc.

Note that the Mi Max 3 has already passed multiple certifications websites like TENAA, NCC (Taiwan), and EEC (Eurasian). Further, according to these case renders, the phablet will feature an IR port as well. Recently, Xiaomi seems to have skipped this particular feature from some of its recent smartphones, so it’s worth mentioning that the Mi Max 3 is likely going have it. 

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Price

While Xiaomi is yet to officially announce a price tag for the Mi Max 3, it has confirmed that it will be under 2000 Yuan (~$300). This is likely for the highest end model, i.e. 6GB+128GB edition, which would be a pretty good deal!

To recall, the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 was launched in two models like 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage with respective pricing of 1,699 Yuan (~$253) and 1,999 Yuan (~$298). So, the company seems to be aiming for a similar pricing strategy this year as well.

But this year, for this price, there will be big upgrades as compared to its predecessor like in the processor department (SD636 vs 625), display (6.9 vs 6.4), battery (5500 vs 5300mAh), and even the cameras (12+5 dual cams vs 12MP single cam).

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Release & Sale

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 will be officially announced on July 19. The phone is already up for reservations on JD.com and will go on sale on July 20 at 10AM.

Xiaomi will take the wraps off the Mi Max 3 on Thursday, July 19. The Mi Max series is known for its large displays and this year’s version is no different. However, the switch to an 18:9 aspect ratio means the Mi Max 3 will have a smaller footprint even though it has a larger display.

Ahead of the release tomorrow, new photos of the device have leaked online and they are the sharpest we have seen so far, therefore providing the highest level of detail. One of the images also shows the “About Phone” section of the device which gives us the chance to confirm some of its specs.

The Mi Max 3 in the photos is the gold variant and it has white front bezels. The bezels have been significantly shrunk and it makes the phone easier to hold. The bottom bezel is bare and the top is home to three holes and the earpiece. While two of those holes are housing the sensors (proximity and light) and the front camera, the third hole is most likely home to a front flash, a first for the series.

The back of the device is equally interesting. The phone has the same U-shaped antenna lines as the Mi Max 2 and a fingerprint placed in the middle. Where it differs is in the number and position of cameras. The Mi Max 3 will come with dual cameras – 12MP + 5MP arranged vertically and sharing a single housing with the LED flash.

A sticker on the rear of the device also shows that the phone will have support for dual SIM cards. However, you will have to choose between using two SIM cards or a single SIM card and a MicroSD card.
