60 ANDROID ADVISOR • ISSUE 46
PREVIEW
Vortex – it says based on Sony’s own design drafts,
so of course they’re not the real deal. At this stage we
don’t know which is intended to be the Premium. The
more boxy model fits better with Sony’s usual design,
though the bizarrely spaced rear cameras (one may be
a depth sensor) and strange combination of matt and
gloss at the back is much less ‘Sony’.
The second model, meanwhile, features a rear-
mounted fingerprint scanner. We’ve previously seen
Sony embed these into the power button, but even
better would be to embed it into the screen.
Interestingly the site suggests the Premium model
will have the Snapdragon 845, 6GB of RAM and 128GB,
contradicting the spec sheet leaked via Reddit.Xiaomi Mi Mix 3
We’re still a long way from the potential Mi Mix 3
release date (likely October 2018), but it seems Xiaomi
is already working on the new device if a leaked image
of a rear panel is anything to go by.
This may be nothing more than a prototype, but if
it sees the light of day we will see a Mi Mix with more
rounded corners than ever, and a vertical dual-camera
and central fingerprint scanner at the rear.
Recently leaked information suggests the Mi Mix 3
will come with the 7nm Snapdragon 845 processor.
