Removing the camera from the chin of the phone also means you no longer need the chin, so Xiaomi has reduced the bezels and increased the size of the screen – from 5.99in to 6.39in. Given that it has a larger screen and a sliding screen mechanism it’s incredible that the Mi Mix 3 is fractionally shorter and narrower than the Mi Mix 2S, and only 0.4mm thicker. The battery capacity has been reduced by 200mAh, of course. This all helps toward making it feel more comfortable to use in a single hand, too. The display itself has a taller aspect ratio than previously, now at 19.5:9 (previously 18:9). There’s no notch, like you see on the Mi 8 family, so it’s pretty much pure screen. Thankfully it’s a nice screen, and this is an AMOLED panel which is our favourite kind of screen tech, bursting with vibrant, punchy colours and offering brilliant whites and deep blacks.
It supports Xiaomi’s Sunlight Display and Reading Mode, and indeed is easily bright enough for use in direct sunlight – we measured 407cd/m2 in our tests, which falls a little short of Xiaomi’s claimed 600cd/m2 but is still very good. The resolution is Full-HD+, which might sound less impressive than on other flagships. It’s true that there is a visible difference with Quad-HD and Ultra-HD, but these things cost money and eat the battery – Samsung is now offering Quad-HD as an option but defaulting to Full-HD in its flagships, for example. Xiaomi has never added anything higher than Full-HD to any of its phones, and we’re not sure it ever will – this resolution is perfectly adequate for clear text and images, and for enjoying games and media (graphics run faster at lower resolutions in any case). Elsewhere the design of the Mi Mix 3 is as appealing as ever, with its glossy black, tough ceramic coat and carefully crafted workmanship seen throughout.

It is now lacking the 18K gold camera and fingerprint sensor surround, but while it was a nice thing to show off it never really added anything other than a bit of bling. The dual-camera and fingerprint scanner remain in the same positions at the rear, though we did notice more than previously how the camera’s positioning causes the Mi Mix 3 to rock slightly when used on a desk or flat surface. And, as before, you’ll find a volume rocker and power button on the right side, pin-operated SIM tray on the left, and a USB-C port at the bottom.
There’s no physical home button, but you can opt for full-screen gestures or onscreen home, back and multitasking options. It’s still a downward-firing mono speaker – albeit a very good quality one, with minimal distortion at full volume – and there’s still no headphone jack, and you won’t find a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor in the box. Instead you get a 10W wireless charger, which is incredible – we know of no other Qi-compatible smartphone that is actually bundled with the necessary charger. is an additional button on the phone’s left side which calls up the Mi AI voice assistant. Right now this is useful only to Chinese-language users, and we’ll have to wait and see when Xiaomi officially launches the Mi Mix 3 in the UK as to whether it rolls out an English-language option, integrates the Google Assistant, or lets you customise the function of this button. There are some options for this button in the Settings menu, but as all the entries are Chinese we’re not sure what is being offered here – though it’s worth pointing out that this is the only part of the operating system that does not feel suitable for UK users.
Aside from an English-language AI client, in the next revision to the Mi Mix line we’d hope to see waterproofing and an in-display fingerprint sensor – though not if it means that attractive price will rocket. Don’t hold out your hopes for a higher-resolution display. (Also see: Best Chinese phones.) Mi Mix 3 Core Hardware & Performance Inside the Mi Mix 3 is exactly the same hardware as you find in the Mi Mix 2S – unless you opt for the Palace Edition, which has 10GB of RAM.
