Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 live images leak showing no chin, no notch
If true, Xiaomi will beat everyone in the borderless race

Xiaomi is truly prepped for 2018. After announcing new phones for all price segments, they’re now readying to launch another device that’ll surely be a hot topic.
When the Mi Mix 2S launched earlier this year, it wasn’t the borderless phone we’d been wanting to see. The true successor would be the Mi Mix 3, and the latest leaks about Xiaomi’s anticipated phone make us excited for its launch.
If you’re not familiar with the Mi Mix phones, they’re part of Xiaomi’s premium borderless line of Android smartphones that have their front camera positioned in the lower chin instead of resorting to a notch or extra top bezel. That might not be the case with the Mi Mix 3 because according to the latest leaks floating around on the internet, the upcoming phone will get rid of its chin.
Have a look at these two live images of what appears to be the Mi Mix 3:

The latest live images above appeared on Weibo, China’s popular social networking site. As you can see, the phone has a true all-screen design without a notch or a small chin. So, where could the front camera be?
There’s another leak suggesting that the selfie camera of the Mi Mix 3 will be similar to the Vivo NEX’s pop-up mechanism. That is likely, but we’ll have to see more proof or just wait for the official details.

Also, the first image shows that it’s running MIUI 9 even though MIUI 10 should come pre-installed on the Mi Mix 3. It might be an engineering unit or prototype, but we’re pretty sure MIUI 10 will run on the phone when it gets announced.
Speaking of the announcement, there’s still no exact date but there’s an upcoming global Xiaomi event sometime this month or August. We’ll keep you updated.

Some tweeters have pointed out that the problem is with the Internet Service Provider PLDT. Some have switched to using a different ISP and it has worked for them.

Lenovo unveils new Eyesafe-certified ThinkVision monitors
For those who wish to manage their screen time while working

For those working from home, you often find yourselves glued to your screens for more than eight hours a day. Whether it’s your work laptop or your phone, you proceed to work on your tasks or scroll through social media through a screen. Of course, if you do it for too long, it has the potential to damage your eyesight in the long run. Now, Lenovo unveiled a new set of displays that might just help you address that.
The company has launched its latest ThinkVision monitors that are now Eyesafe-certified. In essence, both monitors come with technologies designed to ease off the harmful blue light emitted from the display. Furthermore, they received a TUV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification to ensure maximum eye comfort and protection.
Also, these two monitors — the ThinkVision T24i-2L and ThinkVision T27h-2L — come with color accurate displays and phone holders on the base.
For the ThinkVision T24i-2L, it comes with a 24-inch FHD display with flexible connectivity options for all kinds of devices. Meanwhile, the ThinkVision T27h-AL comes with a 27-inch QHD display for a much larger workspace.
These monitors are now available for the price of PhP 8,850 (ThinkVision T24i-2L) and PhP 15,499 (ThinkVision T27h-2L). You will find these through Lenovo’s authorized partner sellers.
