Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 first impressions: Sliding back into action

We got to check out the brand new Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 with its fancy new sliding mechanism that hides the cameras and ditches the notch. Is it worth your time? Here's what we think.

This video was shot on the Sony A7 III.

great video, now waiting for review of the battery life and dust issue

I'll probably wait until they come out with the Mi Mix 4 this has the same innards as my Mi Mix 2S and I have the 8Gb 256GB version of it. I'm not a big fan of amoled technology until they can solve screen burn. Most every device I've ever had fell victim of screen burn unless you walk around with the brightness on 30%. I like the MIx 3 and that color but I'm more interested in seeing the MIx 4 when it comes out in 3-4 months! lol

The same camera module can be found on the Mi Mix 2s not the Mix 2.

[raviraj]

[TheGecko]

Huh? Old school? During my time sliders phone slides up to answer calls and take pic. Not slides down

[eiskrie]

[Megaatron]

When will it come to France ? They said at launch they will tell about France availability the next day but they pulled out and only said "very soon"

[xypleth]

Better English than many American's (and Brits).

[khmerMosaic]

May I know, do we must slide the phone to answering call every time?

[ForbiddenUser]

Only issue with the form factor... How you gonna get a case to protect that thing? You won't.
