Xiaomi is set to officially announce the much-touted Mi Mix 3 which has been a favourite in the rumour mill. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 deviates a whole lot from all its predecessors in terms of the design it adopts and even on the hardware aspect. Ahead of its unveiling, a short hands-on video of the Mi Mix 3 has appeared on Chinese microblogging website Weibo.

The hands-on video shows the Mi Mix 3 design in all its glory. Perhaps, most worthy of note is the rear fingerprint sensor which is on the model in the video. The Chinese phone maker had earlier teased the presence of an in-display fingerprint sensor on the device. Thus, it is possible that the Mi Mix 3 will come with both in-display and rear fingerprint sensors. In another light, there could be a model with in-display fingerprint and another with the rear sensor. Guess we won’t wait for too long to find out.

The hands-on video also shows the Mi MIX 3 is expected to arrive with a 6.39-inch S-AMOLED display that will carry support for 2340 x 1080 pixels Full HD+ resolution. The slide of the phone is fitted with LED-enabled 24-megapixel+20-megapixel dual selfie snappers. The backside of the Mi MIX 3 could be equipped with a 20-megapixel + 16-megapixel dual camera setup. Recall that the Mi Mix 3 will also be 5G-enabled and will get a variant that boasts of 10GB of RAM onboard.

Xiaomi is literally eating its cake and having it with the Mi Mix 3. The device will come with the highest screen to body ratio found on any of the company’s smartphone, thanks to the slider design. Xiaomi has released a teaser poster which contains the render of the device. The official render is meant to tease the exact configuration of the front camera setup and there is a surprise. The render confirms the Mi Mix 3 will come with a dual selfie camera setup and there is even a soft flash onboard. That is an unexpected setup but the slider design made it possible. The front main camera is also confirmed on the teaser poster to be a 24MP sensor. We expect the camera to be capable of capturing stunning selfies and videos with vivid clarity and high resolution. It wasn’t disclosed if the secondary sensor is a wide angle or bokeh sensor. The Mi Mix 3 is also expected to house a dual camera setup at the rear.

Apart from this cool feature, other stunning features onboard the upcoming flagship includes an on-screen fingerprint sensor. At the moment, the Mi 8 Explorer edition and Mi 8 screen fingerprint version are the only two Xiaomi models to have the new technology. In addition, the Mi Mix 3 will also come with a variant having 10GB of RAM onboard. We still wonder if that isn’t an overkill. The flagship phone will also come with 5G support. We expect the device to be unveiled on October 25 in China.

The promotion campaign for Xiaomi‘s upcoming flagship continues to intensify ahead of the October 25 official launch. Xiaomi has released several teasers promoting several features of the Mix 3. The most spectacular is perhaps, the 10GB of RAM that the company confirmed will be onboard the smartphone as well as 5G support. The Mix 3 is also expected to come with Face Unlock feature in addition to an in-display fingerprint sensor. The Face Unlock technology has now been featured in a leaked short video clip.

The video which is barely 4 seconds long was enough to suggest that the Face Unlock technology will be super fast. With just a swipe which exposes the selfie camera, the device opened the laptop pretty fast. The phone is able to control the laptop using Dynamic Lock feature in Windows 10. The phone connects over Bluetooth and the laptop stays unlocked as long as the phone is connected. It automatically locks the laptop when it is disconnected.

Apart from the Face Unlock, the phone can also unlock other connected device using the in-display fingerprint reader, iris scanner or other supported means.

Xiaomi is all set to launch the flagship Mi Mix 3 on October 25 in Beijing, China. Since the launch date has been officially released, we expect loads of teasers that would give us some more details about the smartphone. Xiaomi’s Global spokesperson, Donovan Sung today shared a teaser on his official Twitter account which suggests that the Mi Mix 3 will come packing 10GB of RAM!

The tweet contains a picture of two notebooks with 5G and 10G written on their covers. We can guess 5G refers to the next-generation 5G cellular network which is already gaining momentum ahead of its official rollout. Even if Xiaomi launches the Mi Mix 3 with 5G support, it will be unuseful at the moment as there are no 5G infrastructures yet. On the other hand, we can’t think of anything else that 10G represents than 10GB of RAM. This doesn’t sound realistic, anyway, because that’ll be sort of an overkill.

Mr Sung had earlier released a teaser which hinted that the Mi Mix 3 will be available in three different colours. The Mi Mix 3 is also expected to feature a slider design and will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The RAM size and storages will vary. The device will also come with several innovations like an almost completely bezel-less design, high screen ratio, in-display fingerprint sensor among others.

Xiaomi‘s flagship Mi Mix was well received globally as a result of its transformational design which jolted the industry and sort of kickstarted a revolution in smartphone designs. After the Mi Mix, the Chinese giant was expected to take things a tad higher on the Mix 2 but that didn’t happen. Expectations were also not met on the Mi Mix 2s which wasn’t too different from the Mi Mix 2. So, it is quite understandable that there are anticipations that Xiaomi will finally effect a noticeable design change on the Mix 3. Such is very well exhibited on this Mi Mix 3 concept video created by the YouTube channel – Science and Knowledge.

The Mi Mix 3 is expected to be launched later this year as Xiaomi’s main flagship model for the year.  The concept design looks more like a fusion of the Vivo NEX, another innovative full-screen model, and the Mi Mix 2. The design includes a pop-up camera just like the NEX smartphone. One spectacular thing about the concept is the high 99% screen to body ratio. This is highly unrealistic but then, the Mi Mix looked unrealistic when it was announced but it did become a reality. The design also includes an in-display fingerprint scanner, three rear-facing cameras and a ceramic body with metal fuselage.

Xiaomi is yet to disclose anything about the Mix 3 but the concept is envisioned to sport a 6-inch (2960 x 1440) IPS LCD display. The smartphone is also coming with a Snapdragon 845 chipset paired with 6GB RAM / 8GB RAM. The device will get its interface from an Android 9.0-based MIUI 10 ROM among other features. Of course, the real Mi Mix 3 may likely be entirely different. However, you can check out the entire video from above.

Xiaomi‘s journey with the highly successful Mi Mix series started with the Mi Mix which was released in 2016. The company later launched a second-generation model dubbed Mi Mix 2 in September last year. This was followed by the Mi Mix 2s which is an upgraded version of the Mix 2 and that was released in March this year. The release of the Mi Mix 2s created some sort of confusion as to whether the company will still launch a third-gen model. A couple of images purported to be those of the Mi Mix 3 has emerged on Weibo that indicates that Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is in the works.

These images are perhaps the first live images of the third-generation Mix 3 and noticeably, the device comes with a streamlined design. Notably, the Mix 3 comes with ultra-thin bezls on all sides. The previous-gen models, including the Mix 2s has bezels at the top and bottom whose sizes are disproportionate. The top and bottom bezels are are bigger than the side bezels. But in this case all sides are thin.

The thin bezels will, no doubt, nudge the screen ratio higher but this design makes it difficult to cram the selfie camera under the bezels at the chin. Since none is spotted, we suspect the company may adopt the mechanical sliding shutter design as seen on the Vivo Nex and Oppo Find X.

Unfortunately, the leaked photos did not include the back panel but the design may not be very different from the Mi Mix 2s. That is, the device will come with a ceramic body and a vertically aligned dual camera setup in the top corner that may boast two 12-megapixel sensors and a dual-tone LED flash. Xiaomi may likely retain the rear fingerprint scanner.

We don’t expect the device to launch any time soon but since the Mix 2 was launched in September, a similar schedule may be adopted. Let’s not also rule out the possibility that the leaked image isn’t that of the Mix 3.
