Xiaomi is set to host a media briefing on February 24 - just a day before the beginning of MWC 2019, according to a report. The briefing is likely to be the place where the Chinese giant will unveil the 5G variant of its Mi Mix 3, powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC. The phone notably debuted in China last year as a successor to the Mi Mix 2S. It came with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, coupled with up to 10GB of RAM, and sports a sliding front camera. Apart from the 5G variant of the Mi Mix 3, Xiaomi could use its event to brief the media about its major plans for 2019.
The February 24 briefing has been confirmed by Xiaomi, reported Pocket-lint. However, the company didn't reveal any details about what it's set to unveil at the briefing.
Having said that, Xiaomi is Mi Mix 2S that was launched in 2017.
Back in February last year, Xiaomi unveiled in December. While another SoC may be used by Xiaomi, it's unlikely.
A Xiaomi phone with a foldable design was Android Q, the next iteration of Android.
We need to wait until February 24 to see what Xiaomi has for this year's MWC. But in the meantime, it is safe to expect some rumours and leaks revealing the ongoing developments.
