The Mi Mix 2 isn’t the only smartphone that was announced yesterday at Xiaomi’s event. The brand also unveiled the newest member of its Note lineup, the mid-range Xiaomi Mi Note 3.
While the Mi Note 3 doesn’t have a bezel-less design it’s still a gorgeous looking device. The design is in fact, bears a striking resemblance to that of the Mi 6. It has a 5.5-inch Full HD Display with the new Snapdragon 660 processor at its core. There’s also 6GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of built-in storage. No microSD card slot here, unfortunately.
The Mi Note 3 also sports a dual rear camera system composed of two 12MP sensors, one RGB and the other with a telephoto lens. It has portrait mode, PDAF, 2x optical zoom, and 4-axis OIS. The 16MP front camera also features Adaptive AI Beautify, which is basically a tool for removing blemishes on your selfies.
The device packs a 3500mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0, and most likely runs on MIUI 9 on top of Android 7.0 Nougat.
