At a glance pricing typically looks more appealing in China than in the UK, but you must remember that when importing goods to the UK from China you are liable for import duty. You might never be asked to pay it, but if you are you’ll need to hand over 20% of whatever value is written on the shipping paperwork, plus an admin fee (usually around a tenner). Right now we do not know how much Mi Mix 3 will cost when it launches in the UK, though the Mi Mix 2S is currently sold from £449 (actually there’s a Christmas deal on at the UK Mi Store bringing it down to just £399) so we suspect we’ll be looking at similar pricing. But we do know the current going rate at GearBest, and can confirm that regardless of how much it ends up costing in the UK this is a fantastic phone at this price and you won’t be disappointed. The entry-level 6GB RAM, 128GB storage model we have reviewed here is currently on a flash sale, costing £452.48/US$559.99 down from £552.74/$684.08. You can also buy the 8GB RAM, 256GB storage model from GearBest at £565.60/$699.99, down from £680.13/$841.74. But do keep your eyes peeled for availability of this Global version, too. Naturally if you wish to buy the Mi Mix 3 on a contract you will need to wait for it to officially launch in the UK. Right now your only options are SIM-free – though this typically works out cheaper in the long run. (Also see: Best Xiaomi Deals.
) Mi Mix 3 Design & Build The Mi Mix was the first phone to introduce the ‘full-screen display’, though in truth it never has been entirely bezel-less. The original model was all screen on three edges, but with a chunky chin at the bottom where you found the upside-down selfie camera. And gosh was that annoying.

Over the years the design has been refined, with this chin getting slimmer with each generation, but only now in the Mi Mix 3 has the chin been removed altogether. It’s worth pointing out that there is still a tiny but very much present screen bezel running the entire circumference of the phone, but Mi Mix 3 achieves an astonishing screen-to-body ratio of 93.4%. Though a 100% screen-to-body ratio would look phenomenal, we would worry about its fragility. Xiaomi has achieved this by implementing a sliding screen mechanism that uses neodymium magnets with a life expectancy of 300,000 cycles. Most smartphones are sold on two year contracts, so using this as the benchmark you could slide open the screen 410 times a day without worrying about it breaking. That said, without extensive use it’s difficult to know how much dust and grime will find its way under the display.
There’s also an Always-on Display option, showing the time, date and notifications, which should reduce the number of times you feel the need to wake the screen. And the speaker is actually built into the top bezel (though you’ll need to squint to see it), which means you don’t need to slide down the screen to hear your recipient at the other end as you do with the Honor Magic 2 and Lenovo Z5 Pro (though you can use it to answer a call). The sliding action feels smooth, with the screen maintaining the same distance from the chassis and offering a satisfying click as it opens and closes.

You can also choose from five different sounds that play as you slide open or shut the screen – Hi-tech, Warrior (our favourite), Mechanics, Intellect and Lighter – plus a few more available to download. On the Lenovo and Honor alternatives the sliding screen is of little use other than hiding away the selfie camera(s) and other blemishes that would usually adorn the front panel of a phone.
