Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 teaser video has been leaked online. According to bgr.in, Xiaomi is expected to announce the Mi Mix 3 flagship smartphone with a sliding design like Oppo Find X next week. In recent weeks, Xiaomi has revealed the specifications and design details of the device. As per the latest information, the new Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 will support 5G and feature up to 10GB of RAM. After launch in India, this could become one of the first 5G-enabled popular phone in the country.

A 15-second teaser video of the upcoming device has been leaked. It reveals the front of the smartphone. It also shows how to operate the slider to reveal the 24-megapixel front camera. However, this is somewhat different from Oppo Find X. In the Xiaomi device, the sliding module will not mechanically move up when the screen is turned on. Rather, it would need a manual drag to the screen down and open the front camera. Once you are done using the front camera, you will have to again manually drag the screen up to return to its normal compact layout, says the report. Users would have to do the same for activating the NFC module and make wireless payment for purchases. 

On Chinese social network Weibo, a user leaked more details about the front sliding mechanism module of the phone. It could feature a dual 24-megapixel selfie-camera, secure facial recognition sensors such as flood-illuminator and 3D face scam like the Mi 8 Explorer Edition. 

Xiaomi co-founder Lin Bin published two camera samples taken with the Mi Mix 3 on Weibo. The photos show the portrait mode in action. They were taken in a very dark environment. Hence, it is difficult to get an idea of the image quality of the phone's camera.
