Upfront, the Mi MIX 3 5G houses a primary 24MP camera and a secondary 2MP sensor for portrait shots. This facilitates Face Unlock. The rear has a Sony’s IMX576 12MP (F/1.8) AI dual camera with 960 FPS slow-mo video capabilities.

As mentioned before, this would be powered by Snapdragon 855 SoC with X50 modem. On the performance front,  the company touts a 45 percent faster single-core performance. And as far as 5G speed is concerned, Xiaomi claims up to sub-6GHz signal that has gigabit-class download speed, which is tens of times faster than the 4G network.

This one also comes with a fourth-gen Qualcomm AI Engine that is claimed to be three times faster AI performance. This one could be a good pick for gamers thanks to the highly-advanced hybrid cooling system and Qualcomm Adreno 640 GPU’s increased performance.
