Xiaomi could launch Mi Max 3 or Mi A2 tomorrow
In a teaser video, Xiaomi has hinted at the launch of a new smartphone at its global event scheduled for June 28. The 20-second video shows a probable smartphone box and ends with a text which translates to "gift from the future". According to reports, this "gift" is expected to be either Mi Max 3 or Mi A2. Here are the finer details.
What are the speculations?
Xiaomi's "gift" could very well be Mi A2 which is said to be the global version of the recently launched Android One-based Mi 6X smartphone. However, given that the Chinese electronics giant hasn't confirmed anything about Mi A2, the company might launch Mi Max 3. Moreover, the large form-factor of the box in the teaser also hints at the much-rumored Mi Max 3.
Here's everything we know about Mi Max 3
According to previous reports, the Mi Max 3 is said to be a phablet-sized device, featuring a 6.9-inch full-HD+ display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, upto 6GB of RAM, upto 128GB of inbuilt storage and may run MIUI 10 out-of-the-box.
Here's everything to know about Mi A2
The Mi A2 is said to feature a 5.99-inch display with a resolution of 1080x2160 pixels. It is expected to be powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB inbuilt storage (not expandable). The phone is expected to get a 20-MP rear camera and front camera, run Android Oreo 8.1 and pack a 3,010mAh battery.
Meanwhile, 1 million Mi Band 3 have been sold
On another note, in just 17 days, Xiaomi has sold over 1 million units of Mi Band 3 - its latest fitness-band launched recently in China. Mi Band 3 sports a 0.78-inch capacitive OLED display and can pair with Bluetooth 4.2-compatible Android smartphones. This waterproof fitness band can track activity, monitor heart rate and sleep and lasts around 20 days on a single charge.
