The Mi Max 3 is the first smartphone in the series with a full-screen design. Looking at the image, we can see that most of the front of the Mi Max 3 is covered by its screen and surrounded by minimal white bezels. Above the screen, we can see the earpiece, front-facing camera, and some necessary sensors. The rear of the phone appears to have a metal build, featuring a vertical dual-camera setup, a fingerprint reader, and the Mi logo.
Mi Max 3: Features, Specifications
The Mi Max 3 features a humungous, 6.9-inch IPS LCD screen with Full HD+ resolution (1080×2160 pixels), 18:9 aspect ratio, and a scratch-resistant glass. Although the screen size has increased by a lot compared to its predecessor’s, the actual size of the phone hasn’t increased, all thanks to a minimal-bezel screen design. The Mi Max 3 measures 176.15 x 87.4 x 7.99mm and weighs 221 grammes whereas the Mi Max 2 (Review) measures 174.1 x 88.7 x 7.6mm and weighs in at 211 grammes. The phone is said to be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor, and expected to be launched in three memory configurations: 3GB RAM+32GB ROM, 4GB RAM+64GB ROM, and 6GB RAM+128GB ROM.
There’s a 12MP+20MP rear-facing dual-camera setup on the Mi Max 3, similar to that of the Mi 6X. It features phase-detection autofocus, LED flash, and 4K video recording. The front-facing camera uses an 8MP sensor which can also record 1080p video recording. The phone will run Android 8.1 Oreo based MIUI 10 software. It is a dual-SIM smartphone, and features dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 5.0, IR emitter, GPS, and a USB Type-C port. The Mi Max 3 comes packed with a 5400mAH battery. It is likely that the Mi Max 3 will debut in China within a month since its TENAA certification is complete. It will most probably be launched in India as well, a few months after its China debut.
