IATA and today is quite a big day because we have on the table here, one of the most requested smartphones on my channel. This is, of course, the Xiaomi me mix 3 and today, I'm going to be unboxing it giving a kind of oval first impressions review before going into subsequent review videos in more detail, so without further ado shall me get straight to it. Shall we hi guys and firstly apologize for that? That's probably one of the worst gags ever but yeah. We have the Xiaomi me mix 3 here and yeah very excited, because the Xiaomi me mix line this is the Xiaomi me mix ? here it is a line that I constantly keep my eye on, because it is one of my favorites and that's generally down to the design. I love that sort of ceramic back. And yes, there have been some issues with these phones in the past and hopefully with the 3rd edition.
We have sorted some of those out. Let's get this unboxed everyone's favorite moment. Oh, that is beautiful, so very minimalistic on the front, just the mix text there as we flip it over. As you can see, we have the 8 gigabytes of RAM option with 128 gigabytes of storage. It also comes in 6 gigabytes, with 128, gigabytes of storage version and I.
Believe, don't quote me on this because I'm not too sure, but a possible 10 gigabytes of RAM option as well. That is madness.8 is more than enough than you'll, probably ever need in a smartphone and that's heavy use. If you're a light user, then you can get away with a lot less. So, let's just see what comes inside oh and there we have the phone now. One thing we know about the Xiaomi me mix light.
Are they push the boundaries on this sort of fully bezel as display aspect idea, ideas, probably about a word, and the third version takes it to a whole new level and that's because if we just get this out, which is impossible to know until you break it is we now have just this bezel around the outside? No, not no forehead tiny little chin, but you know very minimal, and that's because we have this mechanism right here, which I'm sure is gonna, get very addictive. Oh, I mean that is very satisfying. If you're one of these people, that has stress balls or fidget spit I mean fidget spinners, why were they even a thing? This is why, for people like me, I mean that is just I would probably buy this phone just for that, even if it doesn't work just for a pretty pensive stress thing, but it's satisfying. That's all you need to know now. The automatic 2 also has a very similar mechanism, which hopefully I'll be able to review for you guys as well fairly soon, so we're just going to take this bit off as well, we'll get back to the front and the display in a second or flip it over, because this is like I said.
One of the main reasons why I love the mix line is because they take such great pride in design with that beautiful ceramic and gold bar I. Don't know why more companies don't make ceramic back phones, my favorite type of back is ceramic currently until someone makes a diamond one. For me know. One thing: I am a little disappointed about is the fact that they decided to go against the gold around the camera lens, which I think looks really, really nice and really smart luxurious. However, some people will say that minimalistic sort of more blackened version looks a bit sleeker personal preference, straightway I'm going to say that this the same old tone, it's a fingerprint magnet because ease I mean you're going to get fingerprints on it.
It's inevitable, it's a shiny mirror. Basically you use a case. You wipe it yeah. You know it's one of those. Unless you get a map product you're gonna, get that now, as you can see, it is also marginally longer now than the mix.
? and I actually prefer the feel in the hand. To be honest, it's more rounded! On the back now it's a lot square up on the mix too. So it is definitely easier to hold in the hand. So this lighting mechanism is apparently meant to withstand up to three hundred thousand ones of these, which is more than enough for any real lifetime of a legitimate phone unless you're planning on keeping it for ten years. But in that sort of 2-3 yearly cycle I mean you'll, never get there.
Having said that, apparently people have tested it, and it's actually worked longer than that, and it does really clunk into place. It doesn't feel flimsy whatsoever, so you shouldn't have problems with that. The one other comment that a lot of people make is that there's a hairline gap between the two sections and to be honest, there is a tiny gap. It's not completely flush, but I would imagine that is essential to make sure there's not too much friction on those moving parts that would cause damage over time. So to me that hairline gap again shouldn't be a problem right.
So specs, Snapdragon 805, like I, said eight gigabytes around 128 gigabytes of storage. There is no expandable storage with this. Unfortunately, so you will have to go with the storage variants. I will leave all variants in the video description below, so you can go through and check out in more detail. If you want more information or indeed want to purchase it, they will range in price depending on which varied you go with now.
The price kind of varies between 450 and 550, protect depending on at those variants, and that kind of puts it in that League of the OnePlus 60, for example. There are bits of both that I like, and it would be a hard call, but again in my full review, I will be able to go into more detail of the pros and cons. Also, I have a full top 7 Xiaomi smartphones, video coming probably next week, and in that video I will be doing some giveaways as well, so make sure you are subscribed to the channel. You turn on the notification bells when I post that video you are notified, I'll also be putting more information out on my social medias, Twitter and Instagram, so make sure you go and follow them again if you want to stay up to date with those latest giveaways. So, let's just put the phone to one side, and we're going to see exactly what else is inside the box, and then we have a nice little note there from Mr.
leisure. That's how you pronounce it Paley jeez Mr. Zhu A-Team. If I've said that wrong, we have it in Chinese, I, believe and, of course, English on the road of exploration. We will constantly invest, constantly strive and constantly break through.
We are willing to devote an additional 100%, even if we only improve by 1%, be friends with our users, be the coolest company in the hearts of our users. Little messages like that, even though it's probably taken them a couple of minutes to come up with that, it's still I think a nice touch black and gold, not black and yellow yeah. So also in here- and this is one thing that I do really like about Xiaomi- they go the extra mile generally to include extras in the box. So we have, of course, the charger. The type C charging, cable and a wireless charger as well- and that is something that like I said, is a nice touch, because most companies would charge you extra for that, a case which is again very minimalistic and, of course it's matte black.
So if you are one of these people, that's conscious of fingerprints on your smartphone, then, of course you can use this as well you're not going to have too much protection. It is quite thin, but of course you stop it scratching and stuff like that, which generally with ceramic, you should do okay, it is quite a hard substance, but it will still scratch buttons here to click and get on to clickable buttons. Actually, let's just test those okay, so nice still not my favorite. So let's power this puppy on puppy, and we'll see exactly what we're working with me. Why 10, which is the latest version of Xiaomi skin that goes over the top of Android? Now people have generally mixed on this all right.
Do you think it's a very clean skin? It's very neat! It's very efficient, it's very speedy, but it does feel a little like iOS. So if you're a stock Android fan, then you would probably want to put a launcher on it. Okay, so one thing about this: we have an AI button similar to the Bixby button on the Samsung phones- I'm, not a massive fan of a sort of designated button for this, especially if it's not remarkable and I. Have the Chinese ROM phone here. I will leave links to the global version in the video description below, as well, of course, and in the global version that will be I presume Google Assistant on this I would probably just have to disable it and download all the Google services to Google Play Store, for example, myself next up, you can choose between navigation buttons and full screen.
Gesture and I will always use gestures. I think it just frees up the space gestures, working, gray, swipe up to go home, swipe up and hold to go to your recent apps and then either swiping from the left or the right to go back, which is great because then it takes into account right and left-handed people which quite a lot of phones, don't do with their gestures. They just have one side, and it works very, very well, very fluid and to be fair, the implementation of gestures I often praised OnePlus for their gestures, but I also think that the Xiaomi gestures are probably there or there about as well alongside Apple DOS, do gestures the best outside that even the gestures on the new Android 9 from Google I'm, not a massive fan off it from being honest, or certainly there are things to improve. They've got a good thing with this.6.3 9 inch display, and it is absolutely beautiful, 23:40 by 1080. So it isn't a quad HD display, but it is a fantastic Full, HD plus one, and it's AMOLED in case that's important to you, and even though there are advantages to both a lot of people nowadays prefer AMOLED to LCD.
If you don't, let me know in the comment section below why you prefer LCD and now, let's test the fingerprint sensor, which is on the back canal, they could have put it in the display. A lot of other companies are starting to do that. I. Don't think. That's necessary, though I think the speed of the fingerprint sensors on the back generally work fine for me, but we'll just test it.
Usually share fingerprint sensors are second to none. Let's test it now, I mean couldn't even turn the phone on it was that quick, whoa, so key right. So it's off I mean it's just rapid, reliable, quick. What more could you want brim as usual? You've, not let me down Xiaomi quad cameras on here, a jewelry, a camera and a dual front-facing camera as well, see what I did there with a little slide up bam in your face. Sorry both sets are dual 12 megapixel sensors as well.
If you're wondering how it would work with the Kali simply just slide down, and it pops out the selfie camera there's also like a little animation as well. When you slide it down, you get like a little blue line that goes around so just slide it down little blue line, I think it's pretty cool I'm not going to lie. I was skeptical about moving parts, I'm quite impressed with the way they've done. This, maybe I'll take a quick one. Now it looks like there's a little of beautify going on their straight away, we'll go to port 2 and try that one as well got studio lighting very similar to one plus is 1 plus 60.
That might be a bit of an issue sort of accidentally closing it, but will again we'll see in that for review yeah the actual quality of the camera, to be fair, he's looking pretty good from the outset. That's a horrible picture, but it's a good camera which I'm not surprised about, but he will test it and find out exactly how good in comparison to the pixel, 3 XL the note 9 the OnePlus 16, for example. Now the battery is only, and I say only still quite good, but in today's market only 3200 mAh, but according to a lot of people who have tested it already, it generally does pretty well with battery life. So I will test that and again let you know, in my view, a Smartwatch. So that is pretty much it for now, like I, said I'm going to go away.
Take a few days. Maybe a week put my sim card in it. Take my time to get to know the phone then coming back to you with my full review, the pros and the cons.
