This camera sample suggests Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 will have no problems with low light photos
July 01, 2025
Xiaomi’s founder Lei Jun hasunveileda new camera sample that shows off theXiaomi Mi Mix 3’snight mode (viaPlayfuldroid). The photo is of Beijing National Stadium and it contains some bright, diverse colors and plenty of detail — despite the low light environment.
While perhaps a less challenging situation than the photos Xiaomi released last week, highlighting the phone’sindoor low-light performance, the most recent snap is nonetheless more impressive. Especially noteworthy is the color reproduction in the reflection and the details in the stadium.
Of course, we don’t know the exact situation the picture was taken in. Xiaomi could’ve used an elaborate lighting setup, a tripod and Photoshop to produce this final image. Because of this, it’s hard to read too much into the camera’s overall performance from this snap, especially in light of the previous samples. However, it’s likely a good sign of things to come.
Alongside the race to see which OEM can add thehighest number of camerasto its setup, low-light photography has been an important battleground for smartphone cameras recently.
In addition to Xiaomi’s efforts, Google’sNight Sightfeature promisesbig improvementsin low light photography, while devices like theHUAWEI P20 ProandSamsung Galaxy Note 9already havepretty impressivelow light photography modes.
The Mi Mix 3 is set to launch tomorrow. While we don’t know a ton about its camera setup, Xiaomi has revealed that the phone — or at least of a version of the phone — will come with10GB RAM and 5G support.
