Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Launch Set for Today, Latest Leak Reveals Key Specifications

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is all set to launch at an event scheduled for today, October 25, in China. The event will be held in the country's capital, Beijing, and will start at 2pm CST (11:30am IST); the landing page is up on Xiaomi's China website, which will also host the live stream. In the weeks following up to the launch, the Mi Mix 3 has been teased multiple times by the Chinese phone maker to reveal certain flagship specifications and features of the premium phone. Now, a leak has surfaced online that shows us certain shots of the phone's software revealing key specifications, as well as a promotional poster, and live images of the smartphone.

Firstly, the gallery of alleged live shots shows us a promotional poster of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 with the phone's green and blue colour options on it. It also gives us a look at the vertical dual rear camera setup which will not be part of the camera slider. Interestingly, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor is also seen, which might strike down rumours of an in-display fingerprint sensor on the handset.

The leaked images also show the running the latest MIUI 10 on top of Android 9.0 Pie. A shot of the phone's system information also shows the presence of an octa-core SoC clocked at 2.8GHz (most likely the Snapdragon 845), 6GB RAM, and 128GB of inbuilt storage. There is a USB Type-C port on the bottom, although a 3.5mm headphone jack is nowhere to be seen.
