Xiaomi announced its first 5G-ready smartphone, Mi MIX 3 5G. To be available in select markets in May, Mi MIX 3 5G brings 5G wireless technology to Mi MIX 3, using the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform with the Snapdragon X50 modem for unleashing 5G experience. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In China, Mi 9 was also announced for other global markets. Mi 9 is Xiaomi’s latest flagship, featuring an AI triple camera, class-leading 20W wireless charging and unimaginable performance powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi set its\nsights on a 5G solution as early as in May 2016 by establishing a team to deep\ndive on 5G standards and to start exploratory research. As a participant of 5G\ntrials organized by China Mobile, Xiaomi tested n78 signal connection in\nSeptember 2018, and completed mmWave (millimeter wave) signal test one month\nlater. By that time, only a handful of smartphone manufacturers in the world\nhad successfully conducted such testings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi first\ndeveloped numerous strategic 5G partnerships with key service providers across\nthe globe, such as 3, Sunrise, TIM, Vodafone and many more. The next step was\nto make 5G devices available to consumers, and to achieve that Xiaomi had been\nworking with some of these carriers since the early stages of Mi MIX 3 5G\ndevelopment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the official\nannouncement of Mi MIX 3 5G, Xiaomi is now one of the first smartphone\nmanufacturers to produce a 5G phone for commercial use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integrating the\nQualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G modem, Mi MIX 3 5G can connect to sub-6GHz signal\nthat has gigabit-class download speed. Besides, the phone is one of the\nearliest adopters of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside Mi MIX 3 is\nthe newly crowned Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform, built using the\nlatest 7nm process. The Qualcomm Kryo 485 CPU incorporates eight cores. Single\ncore performance is up to 45% faster, a great leap from the previous generation.\nThe Qualcomm Adreno 640 GPU see increased performance by 20% compared to the\nprevious generation, and the fourth-generation Qualcomm AI Engine provides up\nto three times faster AI performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi also\ndeveloped a highly-advanced hybrid cooling system for Mi MIX 3 5G. The Rogers\nHeatSORB thermal material implements a phase change effect that captures heat\ngenerated by the device under demanding scenarios and delays temperature\nincreases. Then, a passive heat pipe composed of six layers of graphite\ndisperses heat at a speed three times faster than a typical dual graphite\nsheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi MIX 3 5G\ninherits the same 12MP AI dual camera from Mi MIX 3, which received a DxOMark\nphoto score of 108, and features all the AI features, including 960 fps\nslow-motion video capabilities. For selfies, Mi MIX 3 5G offers a 24MP + 2MP\ndual camera setup, making great use of Sony\u2019s IMX576 sensor to capture more\ndetail. The camera is managed by the Qualcomm Spectra 380 ISP for a speedy and\npower efficient camera experience so you can get more shots per charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi MIX 3 5G uses\nXiaomi\u2019s patented magnetic slider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screen is a\n6.39\u201d 2340 x 1080 FHD+ Samsung AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi MIX 3 5G will be\navailable in May, with a starting price of \u20ac599, in Onyx Black and Sapphire\nBlue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi\n9 is Xiaomi\u2019s first flagship with an AI triple camera, with the main camera\nutilizing 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 1\/2\u2033 sensor. Users can choose to shoot\nhigh-resolution 48-megapixel images, or in low-light conditions, take even\nclearer and brighter photos as Mi 9 will combine four pixels to one, resulting\nin very sensitive 1.6\u03bcm large pixels. The AI triple camera combination of the\nmain camera, 16-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera, and a 12-megapixel telephoto\ncamera gave Mi 9 a score of 107 by the DxOMark website, giving it the second\nhighest score of all tested smartphones. In addition, a video score of 99 puts\nit at number one on DxOMark for video capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi\n9 has an all-curved back cover design. The all-curved design is inspired by the\nworks of architect Antoni Gaudi, and has been certified by The Gaudi Academia\nof Knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On\nthe front, Mi 9 sports a 6.39-inch 19.5:9 Samsung AMOLED Dot Drop display.\nUnder this display is a new and improved in-screen fingerprint sensor that\nunlocks the phone up to 25% faster than the previous generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside\nthe Mi 9 is a 3300mAh battery, featuring a fast charging solution for both\nwired and wireless charging. This solution has received certification from German\ninstitution TUV Rheinland for quick charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n27W wired charging supports Qualcomm\u2019s QC4+ standard, and enables Mi 9 to charge\nto 70% in 30 minutes, and fully charge in 60 mins. When used with the new 20W\nversion of Mi Wireless Charging Pad, Mi 9 can fully charge in 90 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
