Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Pro Release Date, Specs, Features: Smartphone Shows Up on Retailers’ Listings, Indicating It Exists

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Pro is still coming to the market despite rumors that it does not exist. There were doubts about its existence when Xiaomi did not mention anything about it when it launched its highly anticipated Mi Max 3 in China last week.

Before this Snapdragon 636 SoC-powered phone was introduced, it was said that a higher-specced version called the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Pro with a Snapdragon 710 SoC will also arrive. But like what was said earlier, the Chinese phone maker did not bring it up during the launch event. As a result, people thought it might just be a rumor after all.

However, the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Pro suddenly showed up, recently getting spotted on Qualcomm’s website and listed under Snapdragon 710-driven phones. With the discovery, it seems that the variant of the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is now official
