The information was found by XDA Developers when they inspected the strings part of the firmware code of the MIUI Keyguard APK. Upon checking the code, they were able to see some lines revealing that the phone will include “Wireless Charging” as well as show if the charging has stopped and if the placement is wrong. The newly found information was shocking to say the least since Xiaomi has not supported Qi wireless charging in the past.
Videos and images made by Xiaomi was also released showing how a phone should be placed on a Wireless charger. Take note that the device in the visuals is not the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 but a generic photo of a phone.
Another feature that the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 may have is an iris sensor which was seen in a configuration file when the developers were figuring out which image sensors will be used in the model. According to the XDA Developers, the auxiliary module mentioned is the OmniVision 2281 which leverages a 1.12-micron pixel with PureCel technology to enable accurate, reliable iris recognition for smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Although there is evidence that an iris sensor is being developed, it is still not certain if it will be officially included in the final model.
By looking at the latest leaks for the Xiaomi Mi Max 3, it can be seen that the company is aiming to create a phone that can be unlocked by looking at it while it is on its wireless charging.
