Its time for new launch in MIX series as it reaches the upgrade cycle period. All the Xiaomi competitors were bringing innovative ideas to handle the primary camera such as popup camera, motorized slider (Vivo nex, oppo X etc) and we waiting on how Xiaomi will be taking its flagship to next level of full size bezel less display.
Recently Xiaomi's president released a photo of MI MIX 3 which clearly showed the slider phone which slides the camera modules up. Unlike Oppo X where a portion of the back side slides, MI MIX 3 has its entire back layer gets slide as shown in the above pic. We heard that these wont be motorized and will be just a manual slider like our very old phones in early 2000. This will avoid heavy mechanism to be built into the phone and also makes it affordable option.
With the slide up camera, we believe that, Xiaomi will be able to achieve much higher screen to body ratio compared to earlier versions of MIX which really excites.
Just like all the flagship phones, this will be equipped with SD845 high-end flagship processor and might come with 128GB and 256 GB storage options. It might come with liquid cooling but we are not sure. It also might equip in-screen fingerprint sensor. But the launch is one month ahead and we might have to wait for some reliable leaks or the official launch for the detailed specs and features.
