Xiaomi unveils the Mi Mix 3 5G smartphone starting at $680

February 24, 2019   Big Data

Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi has finally unveiled its first 5G phone.

Presenting to a packed audience at MWC in Barcelona, Xiaomi lifted the lid on the Mi Mix 3 5G, an upgrade to the 4G incarnation it launched late last year. The Mi Mix 3 was Xiaomi’s first slider phone — the little magnetic slider houses various selfie lenses and the antenna.

The device was first announced back in October before going on sale in China the following month, followed by a handful of markets in Southeast Asia. The Mi Mix 3’s broader global rollout kicked off last month, starting with a handful of European markets.

Xiaomi caused a minor stir when it originally pitched the Mi Mix 3 as the world’s first 5G phone — but excitement soon made way for disappointment, when news emerged that the device was boring old 4G. At the time, the company said that the 5G incarnation would arrive in Europe in the first quarter of 2019, which only led to further disappointment when the Mi Mix 3 that arrived in the U.K. Spain, and Italy last month was still 4G.

Fast-forward to today, and Xiaomi has finally made good on its promise to reveal a bona fide 5G device.

Insides

To bring 5G to the fray, Xiaomi has reworked some of the phone’s innards. While the Mi Mix 3 sported a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor paired with the X20 LTE Modem, the 5G version packs the upgraded Snapdragon 855, in addition to Qualcomm’s X50 5G modem – both critical components for 5G phones.

However, Xiaomi has been beaten to the 5G launch by a matter of days. Earlier this week, at its Unpacked 2019 event, Samsung unveiled not one but two 5G devices — the Galaxy S10 5G and the futuristic Galaxy Fold, the latter of which will be available in LTE and 5G incarnations. Oppo also announced its first 5G phone at a separate MWC event yesterday.

5G or not 5G

A number of key trends are likely to emerge in 2019, but just a couple of months into the new year, it’s clear that 5G is already fronting the hype machine. In the past few days alone, Qualcomm debuted a mew Snapdragon X55 modem which should enable slimmer and faster 5G smartphones, while digital security company Gemalto promised it would launch the world’s first 5G SIM card later this year.

The major carriers are still in the process of rolling out their 5G coverage, in the U.S. and elsewhere, but as more 5G-compatible smartphones arrive on the market, the impetus for mobile networks to expedite their infrastructure development will only increase.

While 5G arguably promises greater benefits for entities such as smart cities, virtual reality (VR), and internet of things (IoT), it will of course usher in faster download and upload speeds for mobile phones, as well as enhanced capacity — so your mobile internet connection should be more stable.

The company says pricing of the phone starts at €599 (or US $ 680) and will be available some time in May — this makes the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 the first 5G phone to get an official price.

Xiaomi Dumps LG, Signs Agreement With Samsung

July 22, 2017   Mobile and Cloud

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi signed an agreement with Samsung Display for the supply of OLED screens, which will be used on Xiaomi’s flagship smartphones in 2018.

Samsung will supply 6.01-inch rigid OLED panels to Xiaomi. The first batch will be shipped in December 2017. About one million panels will be shipped in the first month and 2.2 million more will be shipped in the second month. Financial terms of the deal were not released.

Xiaomi originally planned to use LG’s 5.49-inch flexible OLED panels. Unfortunately, the two parties did not reach an agreement because of the operation delay of LG’s new factory.

Media reports reveal that LG’s new factory E5 is expected to start operation in August 2017, which is about three months later than its original plan. The reason for the delay is because LG is upgrading its panel resolution from full HD to QHD, with 2156×1440 pixels.

July 19, 2017   Mobile and Cloud

Xiaomi plans to open more than 2,000 new stores around the world over the next three years.

Xiaomi’s vice president Wang Xiang revealed during an interview reported in Chinese media. Wang is in charge of Xiaomi’s global strategy, and he said half of those new stores will be opened in China and owned by Xiaomi; while the other half will be opened abroad and operated by its partners.

This is a part of Xiaomi’s overseas growth strategy. Xiaomi will become a global company and consumers will be able to see it in nearly every country, said Wang. In 2017, Xiaomi has already expanded into Russia, UAE and Egypt and the company started localized production in India and Indonesia. Wang revealed that the company plans to put more efforts in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe.

In addition, though Xiaomi’s low-price products may be more attractive in developing countries, the Chinese company also plans to enter Western European countries.

According to Wang, apart from building brand awareness in overseas markets, the company needs to solve problems brought by its product pricing. He said in normal conditions, low price indicates poor quality. However, Xiaomi intends to prove that a consumers does not need to spend a lot of money to buy high-quality products. This is the biggest challenge the company is facing.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi recently confirmed that Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi’s director of its Indian market business, has been promoted to global vice president.
