The phone was first announced back in February at Xiaomi’s press event at the MWC for the price of €599. While customers in Spain will take advantage of this phone for the originally announced price, customers in Italy will end up paying a bit more. Xiaomi’s website has the Mi Mix 3 5G listed for €699.

Vodafone in Spain has already announced 5G rollout beginning this summer while Italy will see 5G coverage from TIM and Vodafone set to launch later in June.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 5G has similar specs to the Mi Mix 3 but there’s a larger 3,800mAh battery in the 5G variant. There’s a 6.39-inch display that slides down to reveal a front-facing camera cluster. There are 12MP dual cameras and dual front-facing cameras comprised of a 24MP selfie shooter paired with a 2MP depth sensor. There’s also a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, 10GB of RAM and at least 64GB of expandable memory.
