Xiaomi to launch Mi Mix 3 smartphone with 5G in May

Xiaomi has unveiled at MWC in Barcelona its first 5G smartphone. The Mi Mix 3 5G is expected to be available in May. In addition, the company announced European pricing and launch details for its new Mi 9 flagship smartphone, unveiled last week in China. 

Xiaomi previewed the 5G phone already in December with China Mobile and launched the LTE version of the Mi Mix 3 in January. The company said it's been working with other operators to prepare for 5G as well, such as 3, Sunrise, TIM and Vodafone, and showed the Mi Mix 3 running on 5G already with Orange Spain's network in Barcelona. 

The device will be one of the first to adopt Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 chip and X50 5G modem, supporting gigabit speeds on sub 6 GHz spectrum. Xiaomi said it's also developed an advanced hybrid cooling system, using Rogers HeatSORB thermal material, to support applications requiring high levels of device performance during extended periods of time, such as multi-player gaming.

Mi 9 available from 28 February

In addition, the company confirmed that the Mi 9, just launched in China, will be available in Europe from 28 February. The smartphone will cost EUR 449 for the 6GB+64GB version and from EUR 499 for 6GB+128GB. It is available in Piano Black, Ocean Blue and Lavender Violet.
