Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 hands-on review

25 October 2018
Until web content can be beamed directly into our brains, we’ll need screens – the bigger, the better. The 6.39” screen of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is certainly pretty big, almost as big as the original. But size isn’t the only thing that makes it “good”.

          Marco M, 12 Nov 2018But it has been proven to have good battery life, so what's... more9hrs SOT?
          Since ive been referring togsmarena and phonearena batt reviews, i can rely fully from that info u said coz the method used in testing the battery is most likely different. And bettering the pixel 3 for just an hour i dont think is good outcome, as pixel 3 battery is pathetic. I guess ill just wait for the review from this site.

One of the mate 20 vid reviews i saw was there part of the phone thats kinda opening up a bit, not glued properly? I really like the miui, and im done with flashing roms as its time consuming and u dont always get a stable rom.

My original choice was mate 10 pro due to excellent battery life and flagship cam. But i guess its not as good as p20 pro, but still good. But the design has kinda dated for me.

                Mark, 08 Nov 2018Look mate, you are probably spot on. But its so disappointi... moreBut it has been proven to have good battery life, so what's the problem?
                I went for 9hrs12mins in FrankTech's video, surpassing the Pixel 3 XL by over an hour.

                Not Mate 20 X or Mi Max 3 level, but those are beasts and this one isn't far off.

                  Mark, 08 Nov 2018Look mate, you are probably spot on. But its so disappointi... moreI suggest you go with this if you want the phone in the near future. Gluegate is plaguing the Mate 20 Pro. I canceled both of my preorders (since I'm in the US and returns would be a nightmare) after reading the horror stories on xda.

                    Mark, 08 Nov 2018Look mate, you are probably spot on. But its so disappointi... moreThere are limited options on Xiaomi if you don't want to deal with no notch, sadly. The Honor Magic 2 has a slightly larger battery at 3400 mAh. But if battery is your number one priority, the 20X may be the way to go

                      Thesis86, 26 Oct 2018What you're forgetting is that the Mi Max 3 is near 7". I b... moreLook mate, you are probably spot on. But its so disappointing when previous mi mix batteries were pathetic except the first iteration.

                      Im still tossing up between this or the mate 20. I hate the notch. Although it kinda grew on me the past few months until mix 3 came out. Yep i have considered honor magic 2, but no experience with huawei phones in the past and i really enjoy my experience with my prebious miui phones.
                      I am still hoping they will release another version of this fon, although not done in the past in mi mix range, with at least 4000mah battery.

                                  Dear Gsmarena team
                                  Why still review of mix 3 isn't completed?
                                  you did oneplus 6t so fast
                                  make the full review please!
                                  thanks

                                    Anonymous, 26 Oct 2018This product's not good though, why bother with the slider ... moreIf you haven't noticed, hardware fingerprint sensors are still more reliable than in-display. 218g is half a pound. That's hardly heavy. The Nex S is 199g. That bigger battery you're clamoring for is going to increase the mass and thickness of the phone, which is a reasonable trade-off. 3200 mAh should be fine with 1080p. OnePlus had been using a 3300 mAh cell with its phone for the past few iterations and the battery life was good. As far as face unlock, call me old, but I don't care for face unlock.

                                    This phone exists for people who hate notches. If you want a phone with a waterdrop notch Oppo, Vivo and OnePlus have plenty of devices you can choose from.
