Xiaomi has announced a 5G version of Mi Mix 3 ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The slider phone starts at Euro 599 (or approximately Rs 48,258) and will hit retail shelves in May. The Mi Mix 3 was originally announced in China last October but came with 4G LTE support.
Europe is one of the first regions where Xiaomi is bringing the Mi Mix 3 5G first, making it clear how crucial this region is for the world’s fourth largest smartphone maker. The smartphone will be available through a number of operators in Europe, including Orange, Vodafone, Telefonica, etc.
