Most of the specs and design of the two editions are same. The main differences lie in processor, battery capacity and 5G network.
● The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G edition adopts more advanced Snapdragon 855 chip and is equipped with Snapdragon X50 baseband to offer 5G network support. While the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 standard edition is paired with Snapdragon 845 chip.
● The battery capacity of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G edition is upgraded to 3800mAh from the original 3300mAh on the standard edition. The larger battery is offered to cope with the higher power consumption of the 5G modem.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G phone will offer you smoother video streaming and higher download speed. According to the officials, the highest download speed of the Mi Mix 3 5G edition can reach 2Gbpas+, which means you can download a 15-minute 1080P (256MB) video in 1 second.
You can enjoy the 5G feature on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 5G phone if the 5G network is available in your region. However, if your region doesn’t support 5G network, you can also use previous generation networks like 4G or 3G. To know whether your area support 5G network, you can visit your telecom operator’s website or directly consult your telecom operators.
However, the drawback of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G phone is that it just supports NSA (non-independent networking) networking mode, and doesn’t support SA (independent networking) networking mode. As we know, under the NSA network mode, operators will use 4G/5G shared core network to save the network investment, but the disadvantage is that it cannot support some new 5G features such as low delay. In addition, under the NSA network mode, the phone must connect 4G and 5G networks at the same time, so it will lead to a high power consumption.
