Hands On: Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Review

I'm still buying this over the Mi9. I dislike any phone with a notch. Any kind of notch.

[janmascarina]

Not unique? Do your research. The mix was the first device in a wave of slider full notches. Honor came after. God awful review and clickbait. Fact: mix 3 is the most beautiful, and most capable of all slider fullscreen phones.

Too late already bought it and I love it!

The Mi Mix 3 has more 4G LTE compatibility than the Mi 9

The slider doesn't edge over any ridges or anything. It simply uses magnets.

Please improve audio quality. It's pretty bad😅

I got mine 3 months ago and it is still good. Don't wait for the 5g one. Unless you live in a 5g city and right next to a 5g node. But my phone has been awsome and the slider feels the same since I got it. The battery for me at least works all day and I love how much storage the phone comes with compared to some more popular phones. Overall if your thinking on getting it. It's pretty good 👌

I bought yesterday 5g version of mix3. the reason was upgraded battery and CPU plus it was 25% cheaper than Mi9tpro.I paid 376 USD. I think it was a good deal 😁

I bought this 3 months ago and I love the phone.

You can't deny that this phone was dead on arrival and got overshadowed by the Mi 9. This Phone barely got updates and it is practically dead. The custom rom scene is small, too. You are better off buying the Mi 9T or the Mi 9T Pro if you need the higher specs. A shame, because this phone was fun and cool to use. The poor battery and slider made me return it though.

I’m buying this. It would be my first android phone because I always have used Apple devices. I think this is a good first device to go too

Off amazon it’s only $500

fortunately in indonesia mi mix 3 far more cheaper than mi 9 (around 200usd difference), i bought one, nonsense notch :)

[naazimahmed]

You cant compare the mi mix to the mi m9! People who buy the mi mix want the bezeless design. The mi 9 has a notch!

[hermanstokbrood]

nice review. One compleet though: the music seems a bit loud in contrast with your voice. I stopped watching at 5 minutes.

[jimmytan]

My mic won't work while on video chat or voice speaker phone mode. Any suggestions ? Thanks.

Where you got that live wallpaper at home screen

[johannesr]

Great phone, sadly i cracked the top right corner which is a bit distracting, might try to replace the screen

[HowDareYouu]

exactly how much time until the mi mix with 855 will launch?

[Issaydee]

while this phone looks really nice, what I dislike about most chinese phone, if not all, is that the selfie camera is too white! I don't know what is the obsession with that but I dont like it. I like it when the camera colors are vibrant and true to the color as well.
