Today Xiaomi has announced the launch of the new MIX3 5G and new Mi9 for European markets. The event represents a big and important development for Xiaomi, as it not only showcases Xiaomi’s first ever 5G phone, but also represents the first time that the company is bringing the established Mi-series to a western market.
In recent years and months in particular, Xiaomi has pushed in its western expansion with the first push into the Spanish market. Last year, we saw officially launch in other countries such as Italy, France and the UK.
5G was a big talking point around Xiaomi’s presentation. We saw the company invite Qualcomm’s Cristiano Amon on the stage to talk about how the Snapdragon 855’s and X50 will enable new experiences for 2019 devices. We already had heard about the new MIX3 with the Snapdragon 855 – but today’s launch focuses about the brand new MIX3 5G version, which as you would have guessed, is a 5G version of the new MIX3, employing Qualcomm’s new X50 modem.
