MI MIX 3

Merry Christmas!

I will introduce the latest MI product at the end of 2018. As I said in my first blog, MI MIX was the world’s first “full” screen cell phone. To remind you guys, here is a gorgeous picture of the first generation of MIX.

But MIX is already 3 years old, which is really old in the cell phone industry, but, fortunately, we have MIX 3!

Like all the flagship phones, MIX 3 has up to 256GB storage, 10GB RAM, dual camera, facial unlock, wireless charging. The chipset is Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 845, the same as OnePlus 6T, which is the best Android Chipset so far. The camera can take slow motion video up to  960fps, which means you can have 960 pictures in 1 second. So a 0.2 moment, in reality, can be 6 seconds long. Artificial Intelligence is a big field to explore right now, so MI adds a lot of AI technologies on its cameras, so the pictures are really good.

MIX 3 also has a dual camera on the front side (or inside, I will explain later), one of them is 24MP, so with all the AI technologies, this phone is perfect for selfies.

As you can see, there is nothing in the front, not even a bang on the top, so where is the dual camera? Well, the best feature of this phone is it is a sliding phone (like Blackberry)! So the camera is hiding inside. When you want to take selfies, you can just slide the phone. The sliding form also has other functions besides popping up the camera like paying, consumers can customize the functions.

This phone is released at the forbidden city in Beijing, China, which is the Chinese emperor palace during the ancient time. And there is a special edition, which has a ceramic body. The color is inspired by Ming Xuande’s three top-grade glaze indigo, which was the color for worshiping heaven in light of Chinese religion. There is also a sculpture of an ancient mythical creature called XieZhi on the back of the phone, who can eliminate all the evils according to ancient Chinese culture.

Within the box of this collectible edition, besides phone and charger, there are also a wireless charger, a phone case, and a real sculpture of XieZhi which is made of bronze with gold on the outside. There are also a SIM card that gives you 10GB data each month and a collectible card. The whole package of this edition is CNY 4999, which is about $725.
