The Second Phone with 10 GB RAM it’s not a small thing. Launched in Beijing, the new flagship device has an all-screen look that, refreshingly, isn’t obscured by a notch. Instead, the crucial smartphone components such as the selfie camera and proximity sensor that make the notch a necessity on many handsets – including Xiaomi’s own Mi 8 – are housed in a component that rests behind the screen. This design is not new to anyone old enough to have owned smartphones in the early 2000s, when brands such as LG and Danger released phones that slid open to reveal a keyboard or dial pad. If you owned one of those devices, you’ll remember the satisfying “click” each time you opened or closed the device. The Mi Mix 3 offers that same audio and tactile feedback. Other than the slider design, there’s not much about the Mi Mix 3 that really stands out. This isn’t so much a knock at the phone, but a comment on how flooded the market is with new Androids. With the Mi Mix 3, you’ll find a 6.4-inch OLED display sourced from Samsung; a Snapdragon 845 processor paired with either six, eight, or a whopping 10GB of RAM; and the usual dual-camera system on the back. All of the above are still top tier specs, they’re just not new.
