It’s extremely snappy, even snappier than my OnePlus 5T. This one has 8gb + 128gb storage. The slider mechanism is a little weird but you probably get used to it, and the overall feel is very good. The glass back is just pointless, smudges like crazy and probably needs a case or dbrand skin. 3600 yuan = 530$
Ugh lucky you! Did they sell their own silicone case for the Mix 3?
They sell them in those stores. Your typical brick and mortar store where they sell everything, from phones to air purifiers and tvs.
Some more pictures of the phone, including the back of the device https://imgur.com/gallery/HbhvS1k
Uhh sorry didn’t ask, but yeah they probably do because they usually have all the accessories available in the shop
Did the sliding mechanism feel easy to operate? I was just reading Gsmarena’s hands on, which said that the phone’s very slippery so you have to grip it tight to use the slider, but that the case included in the box works fine.
Glass ? I thought it was ceramic..
Yeah I thought too.
I think ceramic version is the most expensive one
Yeah it’s kinda weird to operate, very slippery and you need to grip the top part in order to pull the mechanism out so not really practical.
According to Gsmarena’s hands on a case is included in the box.
I know, I was wondering if they have a better case for it
Ah I see, did they sell the 8/256 ones?
How do you know that the included case isn’t good and there needs to be something better?
3200 battery no thx xiaomi purposely doing this so we shell out for the mix 3s
I like their silicone cases its soft and thick enough to prevent shock, not judging the included cases but its always an “okay” quality
Here however special care must have gone into the case’s development because it must support the slider.
Exactly the reasons why I asked OP if they, Xiaomi, sell another case for the Mix 3 because of the sliding mechanism
I meant that the included case supports the sliding mechanism.
In which store have you been? Because i was in the store at the Haidianhuangzhuang Station and they told me that i still have to wait for half a month until i can buy it.
I don’t want to argue over a case, I like their silicone cases I just want to know if they made one for the Mix 3.
Honor Magic 2… better cameras ,little more battery and … in screen fp reader… tough choice…
Wouldn’t be a Xiaomi if there weren’t enough variations to confuse the shit out of us.
> better cameras
No chance of that. If by “better” you mean “more versatile” then yes I’d agree, but in terms of raw image quality there’s no way the Magic 2 is going to match the MIX 3.
They should rebrand it as a fidget phone
This one is at Changying, line 6. I didn’t ask if it can be bought, just assumed it can be since they have it on display as well as the price. I’m waiting for the 6t actually, this one just grabbed my attention today.
Isn’t the Mix series pretty bad in custom ROM scene too? There’s still no Lineage OS for Mi Mix 2s. Mi 8 has lot of bugs too.
Would there happen to be a version that has a full ceramic body?
My Mix2 runs Android P perfectly fine, no bugs.
That was the deal breaker for me too. I don’t spend 500$ to have a downgrade on battery capacity. I’m still on a redmi 3s with 4100mah and I really wanted to upgrade. Guess I will wait another 6 month
It’s only Mix 2s that has a limited amount of custom roms, likely because devs who bought Mix 2 found it not enough of an upgrade to be worth getting.
Nice. Can you run gcam properly? Is the camera stuff working?
Cool, but still a huge fingerprint magnet. Couldn’t distinguish it from glass tbh
Nearly everything is working, expect Slow-Mo, even Night Mode is working which surprised me.
Damn, really tempted to buy the Mix 3 now. MIUI is the only thing holding me back, really need a solid LOS support for me to switch.
Kirin = shelf
no magic 2 tests by now so we can’t compare, wide angle cam is a real deal breaker for me as a former g6 user. Currently I own Mix 2s so no need to change … also Mi8 and mix2s will get new software and the hardware is basically the same as mix 3.
But I thought you just said the Magic 2 has better cameras?
The sensor on the Magic 2 is straight up worse than the MIX 3 in every aspect but the megapixel count. Huawei’s software algorithms aren’t trash, but they aren’t very good either with their constant oversharpening problems and unnatural colors. Without the massive IMX600 sensor found in the P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro to back it up, I’ll say it again – there’s no way the Magic 2 is going to be better than the MIX 3 in terms of raw image quality.
i meant better usable cameras … and I’m almost sure honor will do very good photos .
IMHO not a good look. I hate the afro.
My bad, the earlier versions had the ceramic as the most expensive option
Not sure, didn’t ask sorry.
Same, but I still ordered a skin because I can’t stand the fingerprints and smudges.
Doubt there will be a Xiaomi flagship with a 4100mah+ battery.
Haww
Wasn’t the mi mix 1 like 4400mah?
Such a shame that it’s getting worse with every generation
Now I’m waiting for the Mi Mix 4 which has no frame around the display. 😛
I dig the naked smartphone but I got oily skin and hands, it would never stay clean.
Oh at least that. I thought that was a permanent thing.
It looks like it has curved edges…or is that just the reflection of the light?
The sliding mechanism probably takes away from battery space.
I think it’s just the reflection.
The back is ceramic m8
Yep realized that from the comments, my bad.
> Rocking my Mix 2 without the case for almost six months now and I can’t spot a single scratch.
Me too, I wish I could say the same about the front though, the back is pristine but the screen hast a couple of very deep scratches.
I wish they would make more phone with ceramic backs. I don’t think I would buy a phone with a glas back seen how many scratches the front glass has.
Saw them basically in every xiaomi store in Nanjing.. Sadly noone got the 8/256gb version that got all the bands :'(
No
TIL you guys use Celsius.
Anyway, thank them for me, please. I’m in love with my Redmi Note 5.
Pretty sure it has a very slight curve on the back, but not on the display no.
Entire world does, except USA and 3 smaller countries.
every version had ceramic back
the case for my mix2 cracked at stress points… low quality
Its a good thing for people with seldom selfie activity
It’s actually a type of ceramic. Overall I think it’s superior than glass except for the similar smudging issues.
At least it includes a wireless charger.. Great solution for some people, I’m more worried about how cases are gonna work with the slider.
But yeh, smaller battery is tipping me towards the 6T, but then I’m not sure I wanna bother with (pay for) 1st gen in screen fingerprint readers.
Nothing ever ticks all my boxes.
What I really want is a ‘Pro / S’ version of the Mi Max lineup, big screen and battery with no notch/slider just want a nicer camera/gpu/nfc/qi
You’re out of control
It’s the same price as the 6t, I’m gonna for the 6t actually cause I’m not a huge fan of MIUI tbh. Especially the chinese edition, which has even more bloatware.
Yes, thats why im thingking buying huawei maye 20
What’s the problem? Just make it THICKER
Then you have a huge group of people angry about a thicker phone.
Why tho. I know a meaningful number of people who would rather want their phone thicker just for the extra battery. Some even complain about the thinness. I’m sure there’s a market for thicker phones.
Just bought the 8gb 256 model and couldnt be happier only problem is that im.still waiting to flash the global rom
