We found two other Xiaomi phones on EEC bearing model numbers – M1803E1A and M1804C3DG, wherein the former seems to be Xiaomi Mi 8 and the other remains a mysterious phone from the manufacturer. This certification means that Xiaomi is finally bringing out the Mi 8 outside China. There is another listing that mentions ‘Smart TV Mi Box 3’, which suggests that Xiaomi is gearing up to bring a new device that will work with Smart TVs.
Going by all the listings, we can expect all these phones to debut in Russia soon. After that, we may witness Xiaomi holding launch events for India.

As per the latest leak, the Mi A2 will be launched in Gold, Blue, and Black colour variants.
As for the Mi Max 3, the phone is expected to debut with a 6.9-inch full-HD+ display at 1080×2160 pixels resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. It will most likely run Android 8.1 Oreo and will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC coupled with 3GB/ 4GB/ 6GB of RAM and 32GB/ 64GB/ 128GB of internal storage. For optics, the Mi Max 3 is expected to pack dual rear camera setup with12MP primary sensor and unknown secondary sensor. On the front, the phone may bear a 5MP or 8MP selfie snapper. A 5400mAh battery is expected to complete the package. It will feature a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
FCC filing for the POCOPHONE revealed that it will come in two variants with 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. According to the listing, the device will support LTE Band 40, which is supported by Indian telcos like Reliance Jio. The name POCOPHONE seems to be a codename for the device or it could also be the brand name for a region-specific launch. As of now, the launch date for the POCOPHONE is not known, but now that the phone has appeared on EEC and FCC, we can expect Xiaomi to launch it sooner than expected.
