Another company that revealed its 5G advances was Xiaomi. We already told you about that one - the Mi Mix 3 5G will arrive in Q1 2019 with the next-gen connectivity and Snapdragon 855 without changing the actual form factor. Oppo and vivo, on the other hand, are yet to introduce an actual 5G-based device, but we expect official announcements in early 2019.
