The premiere of Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 with a retractable camera is fast approaching. This will be a milestone in the Chinese manufacturer's offer or just a copied competition solution?

Cameras, cameras everywhere

The year 2019 will undoubtedly be marked by mobile photography and smartphones in various configurations. It's not just about the number of lenses that are gradually growing, but also about their design. Extendable photographic modules are not new – we have already seen it in OPPO Find X and VIVO Nex S, which first showed that it is possible to create an almost frameless smartphone without the use of indentation or other half-measures. Xiaomi wants to follow this path, but it is not the only one. Another Chinese producer would also like to contribute his three cents and introduce a new device with a moving camera. This is of course the popular Honor and model Honor Magic 2, which premieres on October 26 . Xiaomi can be much faster though.

The Chinese manufacturer has just received certification for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 phone, which is to change the way of designing smartphones to date. After quite a long-lasting battle with the "beloved" by Xiaomi scratch , it's time for bold solutions and a device with no real frames.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 will be equipped with a front selfie camera and a double camera with a main lens with a resolution of 20 MP, and all mounted on a pull-out module whose movement remains in the sphere of the user – all we will have to pull out manually because no remote mechanism is provided.

This raises some concerns about solidly performing moving parts – as one of the films showing the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 in full splendor showed, moving the cameras is very simple and even too easy. I can imagine a situation, when the used fixtures will wear out and the camera will go out … alone, after turning the phone upside down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qujGOyubagU

Specification for a flagship

The newest flagship Xiaomi is not just lenses – the manufacturer will use in the model top components , which include 8-core Snapdragon 845 with graphics Adreno 630 and 6/8 GB of RAM. This is the best set that Xiaomi could decide on. In addition, we get a large, but slim screen without indentation and with microscopic frames on each side of the housing. The display will be bent at the sides, which suggests using an OLED matrix. We do not know its diagonal yet, but we can expect a size of more than 6 inches. However, there is something … According to reports, Mi Mix 3 will be unlocked with a fingerprint reader integrated with the screen. It means an almost empty back cover of the housing, which Xiaomi can use for its logo and effective finish.
