Xiaomi’s president Lin Bin has recently posted an image which showed-off the upcoming Mi Mix 3’s unique design. Now a new image of the phone with 5G status in the network bar has been shared.

Earlier leaks have given us a fair idea of how the phone might look. The phone is said to arrive notch-free with extremely thin bezels and most importantly a pop-up selfie camera which seems to have become a trend now and was also seen on the Oppo Find X and the Vivo NEX.
