The third generation of Xiaomi’s Mi Max series is set to be unveiled in a couple of hours from now. The event is set to happen on July 19 in China, and while the last few weeks already ushered in a lot of leaks and rumors about the upcoming device, a couple of them were quite unreliable and as such could not be entirely relied upon.
Now, with just a few hours to its grand unveiling, the company President Lin Bin has confirmed the device’s key specs in a Weibo post released earlier today. As per his revelation, the Mi Max 3 will come with significant upgrades over its predecessor – the max 2, and like it was rumored earlier, the device will get a mild battery upgrade, will come with upgraded chipsets as well as improved camera configurations with AI features.
